Is God racist?

Question

The reason why I ask is look at the people who live on the continent of Africa. For decades, they have disproportionately been subject to famine, disease and warfare. Why wouldn't an omnipotent omnipresent being put a stop to this and at least put Africans on par with Western Europeans? Is there a bias here that's part of some Divine (albeit racist) plan?

Ah but Mamasita, those pesky Western Europeans tell us in poll after poll that they predominantly avoid houses of worship and are atheists in droves. You would think that the jealous God you seem to believe in would single them out for punishment. And yet they enjoy the highest life styles in the world.

Answer 1

God is not racist at all, no way. No bias. People are supposed to work together to make their material life better by creating homes, families and societies. God does not send bad weather to punish nor does he send good weather to reward. Everybody has to deal with it. It is unfortunate that some societies have not progressed enough to protect their families from overbreeding and famines, or to find better lands in which to live. Sorry, but it's just a hard fact. So, the more progressive societies try to help the ones who lag so far behind. People helping each other is what God is all about. There is a reason human beings have had to scrapple their way from living in caves and huts to figuring out how to tame the weather and the elements, how to farm, how to live together peacefully. Whew, we as a human race have a long way to go on this little old blue planet, don't we?

Answer 2

God is NOT racist. He made us and loves all of us, even those who hate Him. But have u ever thought about how much witchcraft there is in Africa?? So many rituals and so much satanism....i am NOT saying that if u are African that u worship the devil...don't misunderstand me. But just think maybe God does try to help but their hearts are so far away from Him that they can never see the path that He is trying to show them in order to get out. Also this is a chance for everyone to be compassionate....don't tell me that if everyone tried to help at least something could be done??

Answer 3

God has nothing to do with the fact that the rest of the world wants the natural resources that Africa possesses.

This is human greed.

Answer 4

I doubt God is racist. If he was...wouldn't we all look alike?
However, Africa is that way for many reasons. The climate, the economy, the healthcare, etc. It can be fixed if more people would give up their iPods and BMW's to help others in serious need.

Answer 5

In the bible is says God favors the Jews and that they are the "chosen ones." Why can't every race be the chosen ones? I don't know if God exists, but if he does, I would use this to support the idea that he is racially inclined.

Answer 6

If there is a God, I do not believe God has the ability to control any part of the Universe. Therefore, God cannot alter the World.
