If you dont know that nature is horrible, then turn on the TV and watch any nature special involving big predators, like crocs or the big cats.
Watch the beautiful gazelle get its throat ripped out by a massive Lion. Watch a swan get crunched by an ugly croc with nefarious all-seeing eyes.
Heck, It wasnt that long ago that humans made a reliable meal for the Saber-tooth tiger, or even modern tiger. Even with guns, humans in India get swallowed-up by tigers stalking them from behind, which is why they wear masks backwards to make the tiger think their backs arent their backs (Tigers dont fight fair).
Savage savage savage! Thats God's "nature", and you wish to claim that God's savage nature doesnt reflect on God? Wait wait....dont tell me....its all part of the horribly unjust aftermath of ignorant Adam falling into God's trap. Adam was to ignorant to know anything, so we cant call his actions a mistake because that implies so frame of reference for mistakes!

William Blake asked the same question:
The Tiger
By William Blake
1757-1827
TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

No, we can not agree at all. And I won’t get a best answer from you, because I have to tell the truth as I see it!
God is "all-loving." whom but a loving God could ever create ugly maggots, worms and vultures to consume dead things. God thought of everything. There is beauty in everything, storms, disasters, rain, snow, deserts, beach, sun, moon. To everything there is a reason and a cause and effect.
This cause and effect ensures the survival of the species. Even watching the beautiful gazelle get its throat ripped out by a massive beautiful Lion is awesome. If you had 10,0000 beautiful gazelle eating your vegetables, how would you feel?
And to everything there is a time to live and to die. There is a time to be planted and a time to be plucked. Fruit on a tress are beautiful, but if it goes uneaten, it will rot and fall to the ground. This is the season for its time. And so one goes a time for everything. How great Thou are O’Lord, no doubt in my mind that God is Love. I could never be that forgiving of sending a beautiful rainbow after the rain.
Genesis 9:16
"Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."
Samuel 23:5
"Is not my house right with God? Has he not made with me an everlasting covenant, arranged and secured in every part? Will he not bring to fruition my salvation and grant me my every desire?"
1 Chronicles 16:36
"Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting."
Genesis 1:31
"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good."
Oh what a great God I serve!

In my belief system, there is good and evil in everything, animals and people both have the ability to be savage. Even the gods themselves some times have tempers. A good example of this would be natural disasters. People need to stop saying that everything bad that happens is the devils fault, and all good comes from god, because they both come from god, so get over it. Can anyone prove me wrong? BTW nice pic of vlad the impaler!!! the movie prince of darkness kicks ***!!

You're focusing on the 'negative' parts of nature - or destructive. The Divine is not only a Creator, but a Protector, and yes, a Destructor.
That gazelle was given a life, and that life was lived until it was its Time to go. Nature isn't sweet and happy all the time...

The animal that kills the most people is the Rhino by the way.
. God and nature, savagery: There can be no compassionate, anthropomorphic (man-like) God. Your logic is sound.
Is there a spiritual reality? More to life than meets the eye? Yes, I believe so. But not like religion states.

Hey Vlad
Whoever told you God is love only gave you half of the story. God is loving of His children and pours out His love on those who accept Him through Jesus Christ.
To His enemies He is judgmental and wrathful. Don’t let your finite mind get into a fight with an infinite God. You lose!

The Christian answer is typically that when Adam ate the fruit, the tiger immediate realized his sharp teeth were not just for grass.

Oh, don't forget, all animals used to be vegetarians. When man fell from grace "god" punished the animals as well (?) That's what I heard. Right here on Y/A.
Bubbles, It's not the rhino, it's the hippo.
