Just read below and think over it.......
In light of the many perversions and jokes we send along to one another for a laugh, this is a little different:This joke today is not intended to be a joke, it's not intended to be funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
1> A prominent American's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?" (Regarding the attacks on September 11). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is,I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"
2> In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc, I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her bodyfound recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school...the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself.
And we said OK.
3> Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we mightdamage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about.
And we said OK.
4> Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. The school administrators said no facultymember in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued (there's a big difference between disciplining, touching, beating, smacking, humiliating, kicking, etc.)
And we said OK.
5> Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they want, and they won't even have to tell their parents.
And we said OK.
6> Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms theywant so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school.
And we said OK.
7> Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs. Agreeing with them, we said it doesn'tmatter to me what anyone, including the President, does in private as long as I have a job and the economy is good.
8> Then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women and call it wholesome, down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female body.
And we said OK.
9> And then someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children and then further again by making them available on the Internet.
And we said OK, they're entitled to free speech.
10> Then the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex. Let's record music thatencourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes. And we said it's just entertainment, it has no adverse effect, nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to killstrangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out! I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bibleor Geeta or Quran say.
Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, peoplethink twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God issuppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you thinking?
If you want, I can mail you the whole presentation.
All the best...
:-)

Does God really care what happens to us humans?
Yes, indeed! Consider the evidence: The Bible tells us that God gave man a perfect start. (Gen. 1:27, 31; Deut. 32:4) Man’s continued enjoyment of God’s favor, however, depended on obedience to his Maker. (Gen. 2:16, 17) If man was obedient, he would continue to enjoy perfect human life—no sickness, no suffering, no death. The Creator would provide man with needed guidance and would use His power to safeguard mankind against any calamity. But man rejected God’s guidance; he chose the course of self-rule. In trying to do something for which he was never designed, he has brought calamity upon himself. (Jer. 10:23; Eccl. 8:9; Rom. 5:12) Yet, over the centuries God has been patiently seeking out those who, because of love for him and his ways, are willing to serve him. He sets before them the opportunity to enjoy all the blessings of which they have been deprived because of man’s imperfections and misrule. (Rev. 21:3-5) The provision God made by means of his Son to redeem humans from sin and death is a marvelous evidence of God’s great love for mankind. (John 3:16) God has also set an appointed time when he will destroy those who ruin the earth and will cause lovers of righteousness to enjoy life in harmony with his own original purpose.—Rev. 11:18; Ps. 37:10, 11

As many of the answerer have stated, there replaced into no faith NAMED Hinduism. certainly what ever there replaced into and nonetheless is human beings call it the religion or Dharma. Hinduism replaced into named via outsiders via outsiders. So it style of feels probable that a minimum of interior the section close to India there replaced into no different widespread faith until now. via religion human beings meant Hinduism in basic terms. who's the founder? properly there are some mythical memories approximately that. yet so some distance as i be conscious of and understand this faith that's a non-supply up evolution of know-how. Its like a non secular technological awareness. It encompasses all the 4 easy techniques to attain basically suited peace. Rajayoga, Karmayoga, Bhaktiyoga and Gyanayoga. It does not left at the back of even any of the renowned non secular ideas (Christianity or Islam). Asking approximately its founder is like asking who first learnt to make fire? Or who made the 1st wheels. it is so organic. God has shaped it. properly, each and every person say that there faith is gods introduction. yet why in basic terms religions. each and every element must be gods introduction. Geta says that - you ought to do your individual artwork, in there god lives. So, each and every human beings would persist with distinctive paths, yet on the top we can unit with the almighty.

If you believe in God then he must be a creator.He created the humans with consciousness.Whatever the good or bad we are facing are the results of our behaviours.God need not see the happenings.

why are we blaming God here?
who causes these miseries...?
we humans do.
war?...who started it?
global warming...studies say that usage of things such as air-conditioner emits CFCs that destroy the ozone layer which leads to global warming....who cuts the trees? who uses cars and stuff which emit harmful gases? etc etc etc.
and how does god make all of these?
God gave us(humans,animals etc etc) a place to live in peace, we chose so many different ways to live in comfort and luxury.
God is testing us..and we are failing every minute.
and i think he is not happy for this.

The reason for all the worlds problems, is that Adam and Eve followed Satan in deciding for themselve what is good and bad (Genesis 3:1-7). God let humans under the direction of fallen angels try to see if they could, so the issue could be solved for all time (Luke 4:6). The issue being, do we need God to rule and choose between good and bad, or can we live without his rule. Obviously we do need his guidence, and that has been shown (Jeremiah 10:23).
Now though, enough time is being given for people to learn about what the Bible really say's about what is going on, and to submit their will to Gods will (2 Peter 3:9). In the same way that Jesus did (John 5:30, Luke 22:42). Trust me when I tell you that if you have a free Bible study with the Jehovah's Witnesses, you'll have your eyes opened to a lot (John 17:3).
Genesis 3:1-7
3 Now the serpent proved to be the most cautious of all the wild beasts of the field that Jehovah God had made. So it began to say to the woman: “Is it really so that God said YOU must not eat from every tree of the garden?” 2 At this the woman said to the serpent: “Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat. 3 But as for [eating] of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘YOU must not eat from it, no, YOU must not touch it that YOU do not die.’” 4 At this the serpent said to the woman: “YOU positively will not die. 5 For God knows that in the very day of YOUR eating from it YOUR eyes are bound to be opened and YOU are bound to be like God, KNOWING good and bad.”
6 Consequently the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was something to be longed for to the eyes, yes, the tree was desirable to look upon. So she began taking of its fruit and eating it. Afterward she gave some also to her husband when with her and he began eating it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them became opened and they began to realize that they were naked. Hence they sewed fig leaves together and made loin coverings for themselves.
Luke 4:6
and the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and the glory of them, because it has been delivered to me, and to whomever I wish I give it
Jeremiah 10:23
23 I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step
2 Peter 3:9
Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.
John 5:30
I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative; just as I hear, I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Luke 22:42
saying: “Father, if you wish, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, let, not my will, but yours take place.”
John 17:3
This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

The concept whether GOD is having good times or bad times comes from assumption that GOD is a person like human beings. We human beings or more like closed loop system. All the data that we constantly acquire is stored within us as it is stored on the hard disc of the computer. What we experience is output of the data i. e. our actions that make us feel good or bad. Asking whether GOD is having a good or bad times is like asking whether electrical energy that energises the computer is having a good or bad times when you operate your computer.

I believe the Bible makes a point of saying that God is not happy that human misery goes on. So to answer your question...no.
And I have no idea what else you're trying to say in there.
