Think about it though...In the long run you will be the one with eternal joy and happiness. You don't need to live right, you have to live and do as Jesus, if you try to do that then living right will come natural, you have to read your bible and pray even if it doesn't seem to be helping. Go talk with your other chirstian friends about your struggles or people from your church. If you let other christians know what you're going through then they can pray for you as well, and the more people praying, the better the outcome will be. If you strive to be like Jesus, you will find that doing the right thing is not difficult at all.
P.S. please don't curse

Sometimes it looks as if what you say is true! But it is not. Please read this excerpt from Psalms. It shows what you're talking about.
----------------
Psalm 73:12-20 12 Look! These are the wicked, who are at ease indefinitely. They have increased [their] means of maintenance. 13 Surely it is in vain that I have cleansed my heart And that I wash my hands in innocence itself. 14 And I came to be plagued all day long, And my correction is every morning. 15 If I had said: "I will tell a story like that," Look! against the generation of your sons I should have acted treacherously. 16 And I kept considering so as to know this; It was a trouble in my eyes, 17 Until I proceeded to come into the grand sanctuary of God. I wanted to discern their future. 18 Surely on slippery ground is where you place them. You have made them fall to ruins. 19 O how they have become an object of astonishment as in a moment! [How] they have reached their end, have been brought to their finish through sudden terrors! 20 Like a dream after awaking, O Jehovah, [So] when arousing [yourself] you will despise their very image.

Those who have faith and purify their lives in accordance with God's wishes, get baptized and , yes, preach the gospel are the ones that will see God's salvation.
But it is the Christian's privilege to suffer for Christ! If you read the additional scripture from Rev below, you'll see that the majority of humans now living probably do not have any salvation! Too bad!

First, everybody is not automatically forgiven. You must ask for forgiveness, in genuine repentance, to be forgiven. Second, the Bible says we shouldn't get tired of trying to do the right thing; even when it seems that "the wicked" do wicked things and seem to prosper and get away with it, while others who try to live right seem to have so many troubles. God says that in the end those who "choose wickedness" will pay, and those who "choose to live right" will be rewarded. God is a just God, and He sees everything and will judge accordingly.
So don't give up or lose faith! He sees your efforts and will reward you accordingly. And He hears ALL of your prayers and will answer them at exactly the right time. God bless you. :)

Hold on. 7 years ago a very horrible thing happened in my life and the people responsible seemed to have everything while I struggled to put food on the table and keep a roof over my head. It was hard for my son too since he was in highschool and there was so much he couldn't be involved in since I had nothing. It took me a while but I forgave them. Today I'm doing much better and they are in jail. Doing right is not always easy, nor does it show immediate rewards but it is much safer for your future and life. One of the hardest things we can do is just stand because we want to see things change immediately. Sometimes there are many small things that have to happen before we see anything big.

Jessica loosing faith is the worst thing you can do right now. Keep praying and stop worrying about those around you. The ones that seem to be winning, even though they are the ones bowing down to Satan, are the ones receiving their glory in this world. But those doing right and receiving nothing for it will be rewarded by the ONE TRUE GOD. HAVE FAITH IN THESE LAST DAYS MY SISTER AND KEEP PRAYING FOR GOD'S WILL TO BE DONE ON THIS EARTH MY SISTER AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE FINAL RESULTS!

hi there, sometimes i feel the same as you! it DOES seem that the bad people just get everything so easy. but then i remember that come judgement, they have to answer for all those bad stuff. besides, time on earth is so limited. i'd much rather be better off in eternity. dont lose faith friend! no one said it would be an easy path! just knowing that you are doing the right thing should in any case help you sleep better at night!

Are you a christian? time to switch to Buddhism, see by the perspective of karma.
Many suffer the same like you, me too, I too grief but can't do a thing.
Look at the demons, they still loose freely, why are they not destroyed since the beginning? Some are even more powerful than the gods!
A stupid truth! might makes right! if none is to stand against the might, the pay back only come when his end come.

The church where I am ordained has only one rule. "Do only that which is right." What is right? Is it right for a woman to show her ankle in public? today it is, 200 years ago it was a sin. What is wrong is what society at the moment tells a person is wrong IF, I said IF, the person accepts the judgment of society.
In the gospel of Thomas the disciples ask Jesus how they should pray, what diet they should keep and should they give alms. Jesus answers, "Do not lie and do not do what you hate." Follow your heart. Measure each act by the measure of love and do as you please. Rev Troy Parry said, "If its love the Lord wont mind." Live as if each moment is your last, Enjoy and be free of the judgment of others. Just be the person you know in your own heart you should be and you will be okay. You are unhappy because you are trying to live the life of others and not your own.

Don't loose your faith my Sisiter. YES I totally understand your frustrations but rememebr jesus said this will happen, it won't last for long the wicked only prosper because Satan already has them, its us that he's worried about and that's why we face so many trials.He wants to break us.
Please remember Psalm 119:11 "Thy Word have I hidden in my heart so that I will not sin against thee"
Also remember all the people in the Bible that experienced suffering, trials and loses, they were all blessed beyong measure e.g. JOB( who lost his family, his home, his friends and his health)
Jeremiah 17:7-8 "Blessed is the man(or woman) that puts his/her trust in the Lord, he/her will be like a tree that is planted by the river."

Don't lose faith and say f*** it please! Lord knows I am not a religious person - why do I live right? So I can look at myself in the mirror every morning. Forget about what others "get away with" and focus on the good you can do for the very short time you have in this precious gift of life we have been given.
