Babettefr: 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 !!!
sleeping as in god is not aware what is going on in the human race

pedro27: sleeping as in god is not aware what is going on in the human race
I see my Goddess reflected back at me everyday. I see her clearly in the beauty of nature and in the kindness of family, friends and stranger reaching out to one another. This life is hard and we were never promised perfection. We live in a broken world, but there are moments of joy as well.

Willow3939: 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.
I could agree to that system,,and so why connect god to reality and to that system,, and laws ,, have flaws too,, depending on who is being judged, and who is the judge,, why you think ,, the people revolt? and air their disapproval in the unrighteous way of implementing such laws.
Laws can be advatageous to some and a disaster to some ,, like what lies between the black and the white race ,,

unlaoised: 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
Things go bad, things go good, that is the way of life, nothing to do with 'god.' We have free will to respond to life's events, a 'godly' person will respond with peaceful awareness, understanding and forgiveness.

That is life...ups and downs, you're so right.
I'm afraid I don't understand much of what happens but then, I'm a practical woman

i believe in the alpha and omega, that means the begining and the end, imo there will be a end but i feel god has a last trick up his sleeve in the end of time, the good guy always wins in the end!!

In response to: the question came up in the Paris attack thread ; if there is a GOD why does HE allow suffering. this clip is 56 min. long may help to explain it.
because all of us are different, because He made us to be different, because Eva picked apple no matter that He said "no", because He is trying to spread idea of peace and love but people do not listen (same as Eva didnt)

String, you of all people should know that God doesn't promote suffering or enrichment. We do it to ourselves.
When I was a child my mother was Lutheran and she made sure we went to Sunday School every Sunday and then church when I was an adult.
I "believed" all those years until about five years ago when I thought it through that I was counting on an invisible being to run my life. It was called faith. When one thing after another went wrong in my life I realized that I was the only one who was going to change things.
So you see dear String, and I do think of you dearly, I may not believe now but I was raised with strong religion in my life from my mother.
Wars are not God's fault. ISIS is not God's fault. Mankind is destroying itself. God is just sitting back and thinking....where did he go wrong in His teachings.

Babettefr: 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 ,,

Man has all the answers when given the exact time to prove and study the things being in question, because what man can provide as answers,,they are based on it's tangible findings and observations. What a man can't answer are questions of things inexisting.
Why this question about god keeps on returning every now and then and up to now nobody did brought a prove that can't can't be questioned, because it is inexisting ,,therefore nobody is capable of answering.

the bible is the word of GOD. it is HIS way of guiding mankind of the way to live. he gave us free will to choose, not to be forced to choose. it is like if man was forced to love you is that true love?
