RE: Why don't I believe in religion? Because Science
Why Do bad things happen to Good people?
Well it is a bit of a math problem. How can God get credit for things he does stop? Suppose there are 100 Bad things about to happen, and God stops 99 of them, does he get any credit? No. That regional flood, could have been much worse. A Hurricane (typhoon) just came up the East Coast of the US, It flooded in the Carolina's. It could have destroyed a thousand kilometers of coast with massive flooding by being 20 -40 kilometers west of where it went. I know people were praying, but do they give God credit? Some do, most people likely do not.
God is a loving God, but he also gives us opportunities to Love, help and care for each other. Without the choice, there can be no free will. God wants all men to 1) Love him, and 2) Love each other. Unfortunately, we have a ways to go. I hope someday, you will know that God does love you. It hurts his heart when people reject Him. Ultimately, it is their choice. Ultimately, there will be consequences. (hell). There is another way, and that is what Jesus came to show us...
See I can process that and everything what you said makes sense. But everything on this earth is created by God and God is not human and so he is perfect but then there are diseases that just infect new born infants and there's no way to save them.Now the thing is why would a god create it first of all?
I cannot explain every thing. I am not a doctor or a medical expert. However, many times things can be used multiple ways. Water is important to drink, without it you will die. Yet too much of it can kill you, especially if you swim in a lake. The water does good and bad. Why did God create water, if it downs children? The answer is not that simple. I do believe everything is created by God, but it has been corrupted my Man, the fall (sin entering the world), and Satan. I think some things are God's opportunity to give us chances to help and aid one another. I think some things are the result of Satan, not God. (The biblical story of Job is an interesting example of a man tempted by the devil.) Many of the diseases that effect children have now been cured. Medicine has made remarkable progress in the last 200 years. That said, there are still more diseases for us to cure. That said some things may happen for no reason. They just happen.
here is a good story... http://crownheights.info/general/2897/elie-wiesel-on-his-beliefs/
That's a good and motivational story of a man with strong beliefs but that doesn't answer my question. A god would and should put humansthrough tough circumstances but it just doesn't make sense in babies who can't fight,defend,speak or do anything for themselves plus why would you create something so evil. No Offense and tell me if I sound condescending or something.My grammar is not that great so I might sound rude sometimes.
Some things we just have to take by faith. I type on a computer. Do I understand why it works. Maybe a little, I know there is code, computer chips, and electricity. But honestly, I do not understand how every piece of it works. I take it by faith. The same happens when I drive a car. I can't explain every piece of my car, I take it by faith that the engineer who make the car made it work. If I needed a full explanation for everything I would not be able to do anything. In life, I trust in God. It beats trusting in Man, it beats trusting in myself. I have seen the effects of trusting in men (Bad Kings), and they are not good. Ultimately, everything comes down to faith. People believe evolution by faith, they believe in Christ by faith, they believe in idols by faith. The questions you struggle with are questions many men have struggled with. They have struggle for many years. To think I or you will suddenly be able to answer all questions is foolish. We are not that smart. We are not going to solve age old questions of men in an internet forum. That said, there is a design in men and the world around us. I see the design, know there is a designer. If there is a designer, what were we created for? To love God, help each other. Many has failed many times and he continues to fail. God offers forgiveness to those failings like a loving father... It is not about me being Good enough because i will never be good enough, it is about Christ who took the cost of sin in my place being good enough. I am not perfect, I am forgiven. I am redeemed. I live in Jesus and he lives in me.
