This reminds me of this one time. We were teens.. wanted to have fun with some poor gipsy collecting junk on the street. We asked him what is the world? You could actually see his mind hitting a wall. Blank, nothing, no idea, never thought about it. "What world?" He asked in confusion. "You know place we're living in". He just said the name of our city. Then we asked him in another way "What is our world, how does it look like?" He just said.. "the world is the streets I walk everyday. I know nothing. Leave me alone" At this point we weren't laughing any more. We actually asked ourselves the same question and we were blank too. Yeah sure I attended the geography classes. The world is a planet in a solar system like uncountable more systems and planets in the space. There are oceans, continets, ets. But what is actually our world? What is it? My answer with the space is just a better one to the "The world is this space between Washington Square and the Kindergarten."

Atheists say "can't touch it, can't see it, it's just fairy tails of draggons and witches"... but actually isn't it the same thing with science? Just few of us go to the space.. and those pictures Hubble makes seems so "fantastical". The same people that tell you how to think logically and rational show what the world is. Science=religion... even tv=religion. You can never touch mars.. or check if there is an end to the universe.. and certainly most of the things in how physics explains the world come to some fundamental grounds which the whole univers is based on. But why and how. What is this force gravity.. why do bigger object pull smaller? Why is there matter and this other thing scientists can't explaincalling it antimatter. What is time... aren't we limited by our 5 senses.. is time just light and our ability to see. But do we actually see? Most of the stars you see on the sky don't exist anymore because you only see the light traveling for hundred of years to us. Ok you know there are stars because you can see them, and you know they do not exists because you know they are so far away... but then what. What is there now?


Same way with God. Suffering, pain, sins.. fundamentals. You can't explain... even if you can you will probably fail to notice or explain.

I like the "that's our job" answer...short, sweet, and quite possibly correct. Perhaps all the hunger and suffering in the world are a natural result of OUR actions, not God's. Take a quick visit to any garbage dump in America...we probably throw out enough food in this country to feed everyone that is hungry in the world. If ALL of the "haves" in this world gave just 10% of what they have to help the "have nots", I have no doubt that hunger would be eliminated, everyone would have clean water and a decent place to live and everyone would have the medical care they need to end much of the suffering! You can't have it both ways...if WE are causing global warming (for example), then WE are responsible for the droughts that cause so much hunger and suffering.

Yes, He could stop hunger and suffering- but what have we done to help? God gives us an opportunity to help those in need. Have we done that? Sin causes all types of suffering. If we had never sinned, suffering would not happen. However as the GOOD SAMARITAN stories goes- do we pass up people in need, because we don't care, because we do not want to get involved? Maybe if we showed compassion to the world, GOD would do amazing things through us. One day, He will make all things right, and at the time, will you be ready to meet Him?

Why? What reliable could a pair of months do besides? they're going to have 2 months of improving from malnutrition and starvation, purely to be plunged back into the hearth? that would rival the cruelty of the previous Christian God. How approximately, fairly of asking God for something, we prefer to apply the tactics at our disposal to clean up a very human concern? it is not God's interest to bounce in and deprive us of our potential to %, OR our potential to seek for the better expression of ourselves by helping somebody else. human beings circulate hungry because of the fact we colelctively have self belief that it incredibly is achieveable. and because they have not found out the thank you to align themselves with a distinctive reality. If that sounds loopy to you, try it for your self. start up imagining which you have got here across a pink umbrella. think of of how spectacular it feels to discover a pink umbrella (or discover something else you % that makes you experience very pleased to have!) experience it, the sensation is considerable. think of it, think of touching it, wearing it, utilising it. experience your person potential to make what you %, whenver you % it. Now try this non end until your 'pink umbrella' arrives. do not take NO for an answer, be relentless. that's what I mean by 'aligning' your self with what you %. try it. in case you could grasp attraction, you would be able to desire to be the single that counsel the stability in this international. you're able to do it with a coin, a economic enterprise notice, a shoe, a automobile, a house...or a organic disaster. The main perception in the international pertaining to to a minimum of one/3 international starvation is that ther's not sufficient to feed all of us besides, so some 'win' and a few 'lose' and 'dammit, why won't God DO something!' in case you % to alter international starvation, *start up imagining a distinctive destiny.* Do the umbrella exercising, then do it fifty situations over with different issues you % to have, and don't end until you get each and every person. Then, start up atracting a gleaming, healthful, satisfied planet the place anybody is fed, watered, sheltered, the place we adore freely and brazenly, the place we thrive in stability with our planet. it particularly is pertaining to to the excellent element you're able to do for long term replace, and fairly of based God to repair the international with miracles...it relies upon purely on you, and your dedication, YOUR desire to help. look up the regulation of attraction (or Like attracts Like) for greater documents.

God has created everything on earth. It is up to us to take advantage of all those thing. Do we need good to put something to our mouth too?

It is up to us to stop hunger or suffering because it is us who create the problem.

Because it is up to all of us.If everyone helped another that was not able to help themselves, there would be a lot less fewer sufferings in this world.
It can be done.

It is part of the curse of sin. The question you should ask is why does God allow any joy? It is by his grace that you and I were not born in another country that is ravaged by disease and famine.

God causes the rain to fall on the evil and the good. Rain in this instance was good because people were farmers and rain was needed.

god is good and all, but you cant rely on him for EVERYTHING. he's been doing so much stuff for YOU lately (because no one really prays for other people anymore) that he's beat, and he cant stand another prayer to listen to. i guess they'll all have to die huh? did you know, that minnesota and 4 other states surrounding it make enough food to feed the world? yet it only feeds half our country. that says something. omg, does god really require US TO DO SOMETHING??? my point is, you can pray and hope all you want but its no garenteed thing. you need to rely on yourself and get things done.

He can and he will undue all that Satan has done to mankind and undue all that mankind has done to itself after he has cleared his Most Holy Name from all the reproach that Satan, Adam, Eve and unfaithful mankind has brought upon it.
The real issue facing mankind is Jehovah's Sovereignty! Who has the right to rule this world?
Satan and mankind have for over 6,000 years and look at the mess we are in and everyone who does not want to accept the truth regarding Jehovah's Sovereignty and take a stand and oppose the Devil sides with the Devil in blaming God for all of mankind's woes.
