Wow!! Thanks guys...this is getting really interesting! Keep the thoughts coming! Do you ever think that it's because we have a choice and (here I'm presuming that if there is a God, he respects our choices--if we couldn't control our actions, but we mindlessly did whatever he wanted...that would't be free will. While God doesn't cause the evil in the world, does he allow it to happen, and why?

It's because of sin entering the world through Adam and Eve...the world God created was perfect at first but now the "whole earth groaneth under the weight of sin" God allowed man to have free will and because of that first original sin, we have a sinful world. We have a knowledge that we may suffer here on earth, sometimes unjustly so---and God is always there to call on in times of trouble---but if we believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior, we will have eternal life in Heaven with no more pains or sorrow---only joy and happiness. God's Holy, innocent Son, Jesus, died, suffered the pangs of Hell and was resurrected for our eternal salvation....sin and death have no power over us.

Well only those who suffer remember God.......It is often true when you feel you are not fairly judged......but if you look beyond you can see there are far many people with bigger issues to face than yours... the only way to get out of misery is live a simple life and renounce worldy pleasures.Otherwise be prepared to be tested and often times you feel you are treated for the type of life you lead. It is an eternal struggle until you learn to understand the peace within..........

God created a international that runs itself in accordance to medical concepts. many of the flaws that bypass on in this international look undesirable to us, yet it relatively is a judgment call, not a accepted fact. case in point, what we call a "organic disaster" is basically the earth dealing with itself. Wild fires, floods, earthquakes, storms and such are all area of the planetary life cycle. We get interior the way of those completely organic activities, then blame God while our properties are destroyed and lives are lost. A Christian's kinfolk dies as a results of fact they're human and dying is the organic effect of dwelling. As they are asserting, "it happens to the terrific human beings." It has not something to do with sin or punishment, for you'll be able to desire to under no circumstances be sturdy sufficient to dodge dying. illnesses are different life varieties that we share this international with and that they specially circumstances make a meal out human beings. they're seeking to stay to tell the story basically as we are. harmless persons are a myth. No such element exists. subsequently, there are actually not any harmless victims. God isn't punishing us with a number of those issues, neither did He drop the ball in His layout. they're all organic activities that are in basic terms a factor of dwelling interior the actual realm.

I am so pleased that now people are challenging the church, for years they have pulled off the most magnificent con in history. They have terrorised people with the fear of death, made millions of pounds and found wasteful occupations for so many. 250,000 dead in the surname, mostly women and children, lets go back to the last war. One blow by God to eliminate Hitler could have saved millions if he existed, you do not have to look to far. The Pope was conceived by the same method as you were,I believe they say 'the product of a women's loins". Really think about it. If there was a God would you want him??? I would add that if there really was a god with all the attributes that you would like a god to have
I would welcome him

God does not have the control in that way. If he exists as an element of the self then we humans are responsible for that. Not sure what to make of natural disasters, can only think the are natural

I've been thinking about it the whole day - read a story about a child who was hung in Auschwitz, and how it took him half an hour to die. I still feel sick about it.
I don't know, it doesn't make much sense, does it? But then I was wondering if it's a matter of people sometimes allowing evil to take over and then expecting God to fix what they've done.
Somehow, as a Christian I can try to make sense, and maybe put my hope in the thought that God is going to make everything whole, that life is just temporary. I have no idea how atheists can find meaning in this cruel dangerous world.

There is a queston on existence of GOD. Off course God is here but not physically. He lives in our sole. When we intend to do bad thing someone from inside always hint us and He is the God. It is believed that the earth and all living things are created by God.
God is not a judge. He only loves to all. but nature is a agency who punish the people on behalf of God.
Some peoples live their entire live without any Major illness but many people who are well to do and successful in their life but have to suffer a lot. this is the punishment of God.
People have to learn from the others. and behave in that manner so any body should not hearted. keep love and kindness in your heart i promise you that God will never punish you.

Fate is what is predetermined,life is a game of chance,you can make your own luck and your own misery,its largely a matter of attitude.YOU COULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENT DECISION,YOU COULD HAVE BEEN SOMEWHERE ELSE.We can debate the rights and wrongs of things all day and never reach a cast iron conclusion.You steer your life by choice and location,change either of these and you alter your circumstances.

the thing is we DID choose to suffer when we chose to sin. sin broke our relationship with God and his protection over us generically.
the thing is if we looked around and everyone who had suffered had deserved every ounce of suffering they were going through would it make a better world??
and how do we define 'innocent' exactly? the bible shows us that ALL have sinned and fallen short of Gods standards.
apart from one
Jesus Christ
and Jesus Christ had his ministry of bridging that gap between sinful mankind and an all holy all righteous God so that we can once again enter a relationship with God again

God "allows bad things to happen" for the same reason our parents "alllow us" to get hit by a maniac driver while playing outside and who, - like you- has been granted the same permission by his parents to wipe your behind off the face of the earth.
i.e.if they really didnt want that happening to any of us surely thye'd have us chained to our beds from the moment we leave the womb.
