[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.

You obviously have never worked in patient care for dying children or those born with painful deformities and physical abnormalities, or babies born with chromosomal defects that cause them to suffocate and die shortly after birth.

And before you start yammering on about pregnant mothers causing these issues, you'll have to then answer about animals with major defects--are those because of animals that drink too much alcohol?

Also, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are not caused by humans, but have caused untold suffering over the millennia. Pompeii? Krakatoa? 1755 Lisbon earthquake? Who doesn't know this? Go read some Voltaire.

P.S. are you seriously suggesting that children with cancer had lifestyle factors that caused their illness? You are either really gross, or just completely ignorant. Go make a donation to St. Jude hospital for penance.[/quote]
