[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, this is one thing that I struggle with myself.

The last church I went to, the pastor was talking about how the way we pray makes a difference, that there're correct and incorrect ways of praying. I broke down right then and there, thinking that I must not have prayed correctly b/c why else did my mom suffer so much from her cancer and die with such agony and indignity. Then I got really angry at the idea that if you pray incorrectly, God will refuse to listen.

I don't know the answer. And I suspect nobody really does. [/quote]

Let me try.

God doesn't really exist in the way people think and cancer is a chain of events that happens inside the body.  God does not give people cancer anymore than God heals people with cancer.

Does God dictate the laws of physics or does God follow then?  If God dictates the laws of physics than surely we would see miracles that are exceptions.  We don't  [/quote]

But God created cancer. If God wanted to create bodies in which cells didn't mutate, God could have done so - unless you don't believe that God actually has control over everything in the universe? There is no "good" God unless there is also an evil god, who also creates and dishes to humans all the traumas and pains in life.

Ultimately, the evidence is clear - there is no god. Not in any "creator" type sense. No afterlife, no being that actually starts and ends.

So where does pediatric cancer come from?[/quote]

It's fine to say "we don't know". But it is a ridiculous question and we DO know. to a degree.  Bodies are imperfect.  You know this.  You just are strawman-ing to avoid the main point which I will repeat:

[b]If the god you believe in is real then he causes or allows unbelievable levels of suffering that every single one of us would alleviate if we had the power.[/b]

This is why it is most likely he does not exist.

Sorry.[/quote]
