[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of God would allow THAT?[/quote]
You sound like a jerk. Never say that to a person who is going thru something terrible[/quote]

How is that a jerky response?

We can't question horrible acts?  Why does God allow children to be raped? Why does God allow people to be swept away in storms?  Why does God allow the death of babies?  the beating of animals?  acts of terrorism in the name of some god or "God?"

Smart people question; blind followers are just that - blind.[/quote]

It’s called man’s free will.  And, sin.  [/quote]

What about those who die painful, early deaths from diseases such as cancer? Man's free will & sin generally don't factor into these deaths so why does a so-called loving God allow this?[/quote]

For a person who doesn't believe in a higher power you sure reserve a lot of bitterness toward the gods of others. And why aren't you railing against all gods, why just the one? [/quote]

Um, I'm the PP directly above you & that was my first post.I'm not expressing any bitterness toward a particular God, just asking a question.[/quote]

This has been answered on this forum by believers of different faiths. Why doesn't God save us all from suffering? Because life isn't without suffering. Disease happens. Cancer happens.[/quote]

And as has been said many times before -- God can't or doesn't fix everything for us --he only fixes some stuff, sometimes.  God cures some cancers but he can't or doesn't stop the cancer from happening in the first place and he doesn't cure everyone who has cancer.  Sometimes people who don't even pray or go to church have their cancer cured, while people who are loyal Christians and have a whole church full of people  praying for them, die anyhow.  It often appears quite random.

But even if God decides not to answer your prayers, he's always there to comfort you, if you believe in him.   If you don't believe in him, your life may or may not be like that of a person who believes, in terms of health and prosperity, but you definitely won't have God to comfort you when things don't work out the way you'd like.[/quote]
