[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not religious but here's the way of think of "why do bad things happen to good people":  In a nutshell, God was juggling a lot of balls and dropped one. So when one kid gets cancer, God didn't notice because s/he was preventing an earthquake that would have killed thousands. Something like that. It's the only thing I've come up with that both feels logical and comforts me. [/quote]

So why did God create an earth that has earthquakes?[/quote]

Why do you think God created an earth that has earthquakes?[/quote]

I dont believe there is a loving God.

Your turn.[/quote]

Natural disasters are often termed “acts of God” while no “credit” is given to God for years, decades, or even centuries of peaceful weather.

God allows the earth to reflect the consequences sin has had on creation.

If you don’t believe in God, why are you upset other people do?

It’s not anything to do with you. People think differently about everything, and never will all agree on any topic. Do you think people should think like you? [/quote]

No one is forcing anyone to agree. We are having a discussion. So let us continue...

If God is the creator and hence like a parent, isn't it his job to protect us from earthquakes and cancers?

Like a father or mother is supposed to put food on the table, provide a safe home and stop the kid from getting hit by a car?

The kid is of course grateful for the good parenting, but that is not the drving force. It IS the parent's responsibility to take care of their creation.

And just because the little kid ran into the street once (or ate a forbidden apple), a parent should let them get hit by cars forever as punishment? Wouldnt that be abusive parenting?
