ireneony:The rodents did not create or cause Yersinia Pestis to exist. They were simply carriers of an organism that already existed. Exposure to those rodents would not have not lead to the death of 200 million people if Yersinia Pestis itself did not exist. Why do Yersinia Pestis and other pathogenic bacteria exist in the first place? That's the question here. The measures humans have taken to avoid dying from them are all after the fact. Also as a side note, the bible doesn't even warn against pathogenic bacteria at all. It doesn't tell us to wash our hands to avoid getting sick, or to avoid potential carriers of disease causing microbes (even in the animals we eat). All of that was figured out by human beings through their own hard work (not prayer, even after millions of those Europeans prayed for a cure). 10 Likes |

cloudgoddess:The bible is now expected to be a science text book that should tell you to wash your hands to avoid getting sick . What nonsense is this ![]() All of that was figured out by human beings through their own hard work (not prayer, even after millions of those Europeans prayed for a cure). I wonder if you witnessed this incident - firsthand experience ? Anyway , they prayed for a cure and then got one but somehow you think there is a problem? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

In my humble opinion, attempting to answer this question to the satisfaction of most people is an exercise in futility. To do justice to this question we must first agree to the answer to this question: 1)Who/what is God To some people god is a graven image, to others it is money and power, for others god does not exist, for others, God is the Almighty and most merciful Father who created heaven and earth. If anyone is truly interested in the answer to this question, please provide your definition of god, and I will provide a quick answer to the OP's question based on that. For those who do not believe in the existence of God, the answer is trivial, since the question becomes invalid. I dey wait for una definition. |

DeepSight: Given your definition of God above, then from your perspective the answer to Op's question is straight forward. Answer: because he is the self existing first cause of all other existence. QED Note: You are walking a very fine line with your abstract pronouncements here o. |

Re: Why Would God Create Disease-Causing Bacteria? by nduchucks: 3:24pm On Jul 18, 2016 |
cloudgoddess: Thanks for the clarification which also indicates that the OP believes in the existence of the said Abrahamic God. If the OP does not believe in the existence of the said God, then the question posed is senseless. 1 Like 1 Share |

nduchucks:Are you being serious right now? So talking about other people's beliefs means I must also share those beliefs? If a Christian now starts criticizing the gods worshipped in Hinduism, this means the Christian now believes in Hindu gods? What kind of logic is this. 4 Likes |
Re: Why Would God Create Disease-Causing Bacteria? by nduchucks: 3:39pm On Jul 18, 2016 |
cloudgoddess: The answer to the above would be a definite No. It is however not analogous to my presumptions. I maintain that if you do not believe in the existence of the Abrahamic God, then your question remains senseless. I stand corrected if you can expose the sensibility of the question. 1 Like |

nduchucks:Dayumm!!!!! Who dwells on what they dont believe in rather than what they do believe in. Atheism is empty and baseless. It feeds off Religion, science, irreligion, secularism, agnosticism and any other thing to remain relevant. Cloudgoddess, could you just talk about atheism for once and stop bitching about what you were/used to be or believe. Your evangelism is stale aiidy. ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

If God doesn't exist to you why can't you leave him be? Why blame him for every meaningful n meaningless thing all thesame? God is not incharge of this world, satan is!!! So you should redirect your questions to the appropriate quarters accordingly and while you're at it, i'd also suggest you change the title of this topic to 'Why did satan create disease causing bacteria. Afterall he is the so called prince of the world who seized power from Adam after the fall. You don't respect nor rever God, that's fine, you don't believe He exists, awesome... So do one thing for your sanity: stop asking silly questions about a non existent God, stop looking for faults in a non existent God, stop cursing on what you cannot explain or fully understand as you have chosen to limit yourselves to the sole knowledge that there is no God... But one thing I do know and will continue to reiterate is this: God does not need no one to believe, think or accept he exists or not before it is established He is, was and will forever be.... "Alas the wise may claim to know but they know not"-. Nibble on that that ye may be wise... Shallom... 1 Like |

cloudgoddess: ill answer ur questions in 2 forms. 1. you know dat there is bacteria in the stomach for digestion, these bacteria can cause illness when there is no food to work on. they digest the stomach walls. now dont blame GOD for that. they have a good purpose. 2. when u pick up DIRT or eat SPOILT or INFECTED food, dont blame GOD. he didnt put no disease causing bacteria in u when u were born. u picked it up yourself. bees help in polination and food production but dont go and blame GOD if you go nd look for trouble and a bee stings you. every thing has its purpose and habitat. putting them in the wrong habitat is the problem. thanks 2 Likes |

I posted a comment and it was hidden, and was even given a momentary ban. Na wa ooo. Just because I called on cloudgoddess to answer the question winner01 threw at her. Although I noticed the big boss was viewing when I posted the comment, i guess he wasn't comfortable with it. Or someone else reported the comment. Alright no problem. |
