[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One major reason why I don't believe in God is because there is so much suffering in the world, some uncaused by people. I have trouble believing that a loving god would create or allow that suffering.

I wish that a kind god existed and am open to changing my mind. [/quote]

What suffering in the world is uncaused by people?[/quote]

Examples: cancer (not caused by lifestyle choices), infectious disease that people didn't knowingly spread, natural disasters. [/quote]

Natural disasters are caused by man made climate change.

In today’s world, as with Covid, we can prevent infectious disease. We have vaccines, masks, etc. People who will not follow CDC and medical and hygienic protocols and guidelines are at fault for the spread.

Lifestyle factors implicated as causes of cancer and cancer mortality, which are considered as main targets for prevention, include smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, diet, and physical inactivity. Those things can even cause a person’s DNA to change.

Natural disasters also happened before the Industrial Revolution, and not all disasters today happen for that reason (e.g. Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011).

What about the fact that disease exists in the first place and people who lived before the advent of modern medicine?

What about hereditary factors that can cause cancer? https://www.nbcnews.com/health/cancer/just-how-much-cancer-due-genes-about-third-study-finds-n490731[/quote]
