If There Is/are God/gods, Then Why Are Some Of Us Facing Lifetime Suffering? by Nobody: 3:31pm On Sep 24, 2017
I've stopped believing in God/gods few years ago, but if there is/are God/gods like most ppl confidently believe, then why are some of us facing lifetime suffering?

Those God/gods could be advanced Aliens or God of Christianity/Islam or any other forms, but if they created us and most of us worship them, then at least they should help us directly. If not, then why did they created us? Is it to see us suffer and die and see the same thing again and again until everything is destroyed/ended?

my dear friend.....how Is Ethiopia today?

To your question...

why is so much suffering?

please stop blaming God for this.

olodumare has created a benevolent environment for each one of us. it is our birth right to be joyous ,happy and be successful.

suffering comes with its own goodies.

if you are have never experience suffering, you are not growing, and if you are not growing you are dying. All the wonderful experiences and lessons life has to offer are yours just by overcoming challenges. think about your life, you will find that your best memories are made up of those moments in life where you chose to accept the challenge made by the emergence of an uncomfortable experience. therefore suffering bring wisdom and maturity.

imagine if it rains 365 days a year, how will farmer cultivate or harvest their crops ? suffering is part of life accept and deals with it. do not blame any one for your misfortune.. my God is wise

you stopped believing in God because of suffering. what will happen then if you were tested like Abraham who had to wait till he was 100 Years old before he had a child through his wife Sarah and yet didn't become atheist?
What will you do if you were tested like Job who lost all his children and properties and yet didn't curse God?
or David after he was anointed roamed the wilderness for 13 years
or The Apostles who some were beheaded, pierced through with Spears, thrown into prisons, given to lions and wild beasts yet the other Christians kept the faith.
God exists. You can't see Him, but He is always present and He knows all that we pass through and hears us when we pray.
God is looking for faithful worshippers. He is looking for those who love Him and truth. Do not doubt Him.

Hati13, when you say "God/gods" what do you mean?

are you Talking about the supposes creator of the universe? OR you're talking about gods whose followers claim the 4 Omnis (omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, omnibelevolent)?

• vaxx,
Ethiopia is good. Thanks for your true and supporting statements. I'm not blaming anyone for my misfortune, but just asking why there isn't intervention by God/gods, if God/gods truly exist.

• terrezo2002,
My reasons for not believing in God/gods isn't because of my suffering. But thanks for your comment.

• hopefuLandlord,
When I say God, it means the one creator of all.
When I say gods, it means the many classic gods who control the universe. Example, Sun god, Wind god, Sky god and so on.....

My parents were socialist, so Christianity wasn't related with me that much in my childhood. We did and hope will always celebrate Christianity festivals since it's embedded in almost all real or nominal Christian Ethiopians identity, but I wasn't serious about it.

I'm going to go to church now.

What non-Abraham religion are you following?

They deserve punishment, but enteral punishment is too much. But unlike you, I don't think Hell really exist. But Earth could also be Hell like some believes.

Yeah I don't see any difference why Traditional religions can't answer the most important universal questions like the so called Abraham religions. The answers could be right or wrong, but answer is answer.

Could you tell me the basic things about your Traditional religion?

Yes, I'm back

Well, at least you agree that evil that feserves punishment exists.

Aren't people (you agree that it's people who are responsible for most of the evil of the earth, right?) responsible for this perpetual hell called life on earth deserving of a perpetual punishment when all this is over? undecided

Suffering is as a result of the fall of man and the dead state of man



If you believe. in God, try to believe in Satan too

John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Satan is the thief, Jesus is the I.

Shalom

Yes, I believe that we (I, Nature and they - if they participated) are responsible for our evil/good actions.

If a person intentionally commit a bad thing, then he deserve punishment. But ppl didn't created life on Earth, so we can't punish them for the natural caused hell is going on here.

Hell on Earth is caused by both Nature and Humans. sad

if you do your research, you will realise that we and our world are what we make of it. All religions are bunk and their gods don't exist. Don't listen to these gullible nairalanders telling you trash. A world of suffering like this does not point to a loving God.

@Hati13,

The reason the "gods" watch us suffer, is the same reason why your teddy bear in your bedroom could not wake you up before you peed in your pants as a child sleeping in your room!!!

The teddy bear(just like the gods), were mental crutches/ supports, used to give comfort to the baby who does not know anything, or the schizophrenic who needs an imaginary friend to talk to!!!
