Do you think everybody should live to a certain age? What age is that?


Well, enough to see all phases of life and if end early, why make anyone suffer first?

It’s all apart of his plan. That 6 year old who dies early still made an impact on everyone’s whose lives she touched while here. Caring for her, loving her, and losing her may have brought her parents closer to salvation. She also may have been spared from a tragic life of sin after reaching the age of reason. You don’t know. We all have to suffer in this life. Just because you think you can make a better world doesn’t mean it’s true.

The good news is that God is merciful, he offers forgiveness, and we have been redeemed from our natural state of disobedience to God. Suffering, too, has been redeemed and doesn’t have to be meaningless. All it takes is you to accept what he’s offering you.

The fact that you are struggling with God is a good sign. Keep asking questions, and perhaps one day your heart will open and hear his call.


Are you for real?

Think of the worst person you have ever known, or known of. To me, your god is worse. Fortunately, it is highly unlikely he exists.

I think you also may be a bad person, or at least one with values and priorities I find reprehensible and inhuman. The fact that you are NOT struggling with that is a concern. Start asking questions, and perhaps one day your eyes will open and you will see the truth.

Okay? Did getting that out make you feel better?


Sounds like you're not taking it seriously and instead focusing on your perception on how it made pp feel to say somthing.

Very astute observation. I am not taking it seriously. Why would I take some stranger on the internet calling me a bad person seriously? That’s unhinged.

This is the "God has his reasons" argument for why bad things happen to good people.

If you think in terms of fate or luck instead of god, it makes better sense.

Well, sin, salvation, hell, heaven, all seem unnecessary games?

Is he psycho, like the people who lock their family in basement and punish if anyone tries to escape? I mean seriously think about it, what if he really is a genius nut job with uncapped power?

Every thinker is in constant fear of all the things which can go wrong in split of a second. Humans have to deal with all that and then get cooked in hell for every minor disobedience.

No. If you are having this discussion, you do believe by default.
