If you believe in Christian theology perhaps but even so you've paid nothing yourself.Jesus already died on the cross for my sins, so that bill is already paid.Good question. Life is the blink of an eye in comparison to the eternity afterwards.I'm just asking WHY put so many bad things in this universe? What was his reason? Because heaven is supposed to be utopic, so I know god can do it.I feel for your existential angst and confusion. It would help if you start by being honest with yourself.I'm trying to believe, but a lot of stuff just doesn't make any sense. God wants us to love it, but let's whole counties burn, never mind all the deformed babies and cancer...God could have replaced all the forests and flammable vegetation in California with asbestos ground cover too.
Once more if you don't believe in God, then why blame a fictional being for the actions of your fellow human beings?
Disingenuous bullshit.
Why blame a mythical being for biology and the natural tendency of cells to mutate and grow out of control?
Either God is in control or he's not. Start there, grasshopper.
And if God did eliminate destructive fires and diseases and life was absolutely free of pain, disease and conflict what would be the point of life itself? Life would be a sterile blank
state of being like "living" your time on earth in a drugged thorazine haze.
Here's an idea: Stop thinking and behaving like a child where you want to be always safe, secure and taken care of with no conflicts at all in your life.
Life can be horrific and it can be beautiful too. Let's see you do something about it.
I'm sorry you'd prefer to be taken care of like an infant, by a being you don't even believe in. Can you see perhaps how idiotic your whining is?
Some people live tragic lives. Some people lead pretty happy lives. Make the best you can out of this life.
If your life is good try to help someone else.
I'm very certain there is a "god", for lack of a better word, because I can see in the endless universe his handiwork all around me. Your intentions count for everything so just try the best you can and don't worry about questions you can never answer. No go and sin no more
by being so disingenuous.
You are still trying to have things both ways: A god you don't believe in paying your bills for you or being a whipping boy for the human condition, depending on how it benefits you at the moment.
