by creating people who do not want to be created. Now I know some of you will try to be smart and say "our parents make us," but it is really God who provides the soul and makes sure your development as a fetus into a human comes into fruition. Now suppose somebody hated his life due to extreme environmental circumstances (disease, poverty) and hated his/her life. Does that mean God has done the person an injustice, since the person did not want to be born?
I am not the above type, but someone has asked me this question and I had absolutely no answer, want to see what you guys think...

Is God unjust because someone is experiencing difficulties and wishes she had never been born? The problem with answering this question is that we are making our changeable circumstances the basis for God's justice or injustice. Should God's sense of justice depend on our circumstances on on His integrity?
What if a person is living life to the fullest, gets hit by a car, suffers agonizing pain desperately wants to die, then a surgeon helps her in the nick of time and she is fully cured? Is God just one moment, then unjust the next, then just the next moment?
I think it is safe to say that we don't see clearly when we are most vulnerable, such as when we suffer through a tragedy. From what I've read of the biographies of others who have lost loved ones or even their limbs, they have found God to be good in the end. What comforted them most was the briefness of this life and its sufferings, and the eternity of the next life and its freedom of all pain and suffering forever.
It's understandable to want to escape all pain and suffering through death, and it's even human to blame God for the suffering. But God Himself is not the bad guy in all this. When He created us, He created us to enjoy life with Him. When I read the Bible, I see a wealth of godly people suffering. But they do not blame God or charge Him with injustice. They continue to trust Him, believing that He will do good in the end. They did not see their suffering as something that mars God's character, but an opportunity to perfect their own character.

Simple answer if you think about it. That person didn't know they didn't want to be born until an age old enough to realize the problems they were facing around them in the enviroment. And at that point they usually wouldn't go straight to "this sucks, I wish I hadn't been born." They would most likely go to "Wow, no fun. Wish I could find a way out of this mess." or "This blows, I'm getting out of here."

God is just, so he incapable of injustice...None of us asked to be born, or even wanted to be born... This person needs to seek God and his word in order to find comfort and understanding for their life...They should also seek guidance from a clergyman/woman... There have been great people born into poverty and sickness and overcame it with Gods help and perseverance... God Bless!!!

re-read about the torment of Lott....God did everything to make the man hate him (or so they say). But I have trouble believing a god would do bad things to people to test their faith. The god I believe in does not sit in Heaven or outer space and think of us as inferiior....He is the Earth and everything around us and simply gives us a chance to live...but then I'm not a Christian. if something bad happens to me, I'm not going to believe God made it happen, it just happened...so I need to adapt...God made me in a way that I can adapt...he doesn't micro manage much

Justice is relative. If there was a God it would be he who dictated what was just and unjust. I think when someone gets their hand cut off for stealing justice has been served, others may say justice has been served if he pays a mere fine. It's in the eye of the beholder.

If God is unjust, He ceases to be God.

If there was a god...........and I don't believe for a moment there is.........you've got a lot more questions on injustice than that to ask him.
