String,
I don't have the nerve and the patience to listen to this things before and it's not now that i have to.
Why this sufferings happen? Exactly because too many people believe and listen that GOD exists,,, it's just like saying i believe in what i don't know and see,, and listening almost everyday this non sense you end up believing and do what you're ask to do in the name of whom/what GOD is there.
Man must be able to think for himself and understand for himself,, he was born to be ,,, if you/we subjected yourselves to the preachings of others,, then you distance yourself from your own conviction and follow the will of others, and yet,, so many followed, this would lead us to believe that some are weak and can be manipulated and some have the complete control of their minds.
Even though I am no longer a Christian, I believe in a higher power and she is female. Our creator never promised an easy life living in paradise. We are not guaranteed a bailout every time things get tough. It is up to us to live our lives and find our own solutions to our problems.
But my Goddess is always with me to hold me in times of sorrow and rejoice with me in the good times.
Our creator gave us free will. As such, man is able to act and make his own decisions. Unfortunately, there are bad people who will act selfishly and with total disregard to his fellow man. This behavior cannot be changed, but it must be dealt with under the confines of our laws.
bodleing2: That depends on what your interpretation of 'god' is.
I don't really have one. I just find it interesting that when things are good..."god" is given the credit for it. When things go badly....it's not "his" fault

Creating and giving free will to those that don't have the capacity to remain a good creation in the image to his creator,, is at the same time destroying of what he created, because humans are destroying evrything around his existence including virtues, the planet,, and his fellow humans.
pedro27: imo god is asleep, and when he wakes up your done
in my own sense,, god should not fall asleep as he knows what he has created,, yet he let those people do what they want,, innocents were suffering and dying ,, explain that to deaf and blind !!!

Because he/she likes to be called, by us mortals. """"In the name of God""" ""Stop suffering"", and if all suffering stops at once, who's going to called him/her.-?????
guysimple: Unfortunately All holly books tell this.What do you think??
does god knows how to write? ,,,
Humans before and now? what's the difference,, ? they have the same capacity to remain a good individual and a rotten one ,, manipulating weak minds to arrive to their desires ,, just that the struggle is measured on the value of times and elements that are presently existing in their respective eras ,,

Agreed. It is a flawed system, but it is our reality that we are living in. All we can do is hold the bad people accountable under the confines of our laws.
