How can anyone believe in god when there's so much evil in the world?

You are missing a little detail after Adam and Eve sinned, God cursed the earth making it harsh against Adam and Eve.

In the beginning, the eye-burrowing worms were useful creatures but after the earth was cursed, it probably mutated into the harmful creature it became. And no, it did not evolve from anything, because mutations do NOT cause one kind of creature, say, a mouse, to change into another, say, a bird. Macro-evolution is bunky-junky science made up from fibs and fabricated nonsense.

Eye-burrowing worms, like viruses and parasites, are part of the curse, but one day God will lift this curse and make things anew.


Today's school shooting in TX with 8 dead courtesy of God, with honorable mention to Adam and Eve! I am sure the parents of those students will fully blame Adam and Eve for their children's death!

Gosh I hope that curse gets lifted soon. What is the holdup, BTW?


Wonderful opportunity?!?!?! Try telling that to a child in Syria, to one dying of cancer. Life is full of pain, and the pain is completely without purpose. All the pain of dying children, tortured wives, etc is without meaning. Life is an opportunity to suffer (unless you just happen to be a wealthy white person). And all the suffering you go through in this life is completely without justification and meaning.

You are absolutely right. There is no God. The universe is a horrible random cesspool with no redeeming features whatsoever. Even the beautiful blue sky is evil because it shines down on dead children and people with nothing better to do than mock people on the internet. It is all random, hopeless, ugly, and pointless. There is no God, there is no good, there is no beauty. Why don't we just admit it? All the evil, suffering, horribleness of this world is for no good reason. There is no redemption for pain. We come to this world for no reason, suffer, get dementia, hurt those around us, and then die, all for no reason. You are absolutely right.


That’s the absence of hope that Jesus was sent to conquer. I know that your post is done to illustrate the lack of hope or meaning that those who do not know God feel. But they don’t need to.


There are many -- perhaps most -- non-believers in god who don't feel the way pp does. In fact many people, once they reject god belief, appreciate life even more, realizing what a rare, wonderful opportunity it is.

not only that, but there is no such thing as justice, redemption, fairness, honesty. Everything has no meaning. All meanings we try to construct are meaningless, because at the foundation, we are just random particles with no meaning. We can claim to love beauty and justice, but it is just a cruel trick of evolution. A nazi and a saint have the same moral worth, as we are all not even sentient, not even alive, just blobs of energy. It is too bad this universe ever existed, because it is a pointless waste of energy. Whenever we think we feel just, we are just forgetting that we are injuring all kinds of plants. Everytime we walk, we kill bugs. But who cares beacuse not only is god an illusion, life itself is an illusion.

I don’t feel an absence at all in my disbelief. Quite the opposite.

Fabulous. But pp sounds hopeless and suicidal and deeply unhappy and unable to even accept him or herself.

pp needs professional help not because they don’t accept God, but because life has no meaning for them in a very ugly and destructive way.

pp, get some help. You don’t have to feel that way. You need therapy and medication.

You need to at least see the value in yourself and some beauty and goodness in the world.

The world is a rough place and it’s easy sometimes to feel depressed. But you can get help.



If pp could just force him/herself to believe in God, a lot of money on therapy could be saved - plus pp could live in a happy delusion, like so many other believers -- as long as they follow the straight and narrow path provided by Jesus. Be careful, though, not to screw up, because if you do, instead of just permanently losing consciousness when you die, you instead spend eternity burning in hell.

“And thus Jesus' undeserved death pays for our sin (see Mark 10:45; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; Rev. 5:9); and God's demand for us to be perfectly righteous is satisfied by the imputation or crediting of Christ's perfect righteousness to us. "

People who don’t understand Christianity should refrain from displaying their ignorance.

NO question, life is a gamble. And the afterlife is a lie. Life is all we got. Hope you have a relatively good one.

According to Christians, people who don't choose to believe Christianity, or go through life without ever hearing about it, will burn eternally in hell after they die. But if you do hear about it and accept Jesus as your savior, then according to Christians, you will live forever after you die on Earth.

Completely false. Completely.

You haven’t the slightest grasp on Christianity.

What about "He who believeth in me shall have everlasting life"? What about all the missionaries who are trying to save souls? Please explain.

So humans have no responsibility for their actions? I'm not saying I am a very religious person but, why not blame people?

people are to blame for doing it and God is to blame for not stopping it and allowing innocent children to suffer.

But since Myanmar is not Christian, those babies, had they grown up, would have been destined for hell. This way, as innocent children, they go to heaven.
