God exists.
The care of God can be argued on other grounds.
Ill take your words seriously if you can show me a verse in the Bible where God promises a EARTH free of pain, suffering and evil.

These things exist temporarily. I try as much as possible to show lovd to people, to help people as much as I can. What do you do?

Come to Nairaland and tell people not to believe in God becausd people are suffering undecided

Work, not talk. You thread is dishonest and will not motivate a single person to help another.

Create a thread to motivate love, and not this stupidity.
The bolded is why I opened this thread of "stupidity" because of people like you that think those children's suffering is somehow okay because its temporary. Tell me will they go hell too because they didn't know Jesus before death or will God give them leniency to heaven.

Lol... Am glad you thank your God in tears... So u thank him for giving u tears... Lol.

U don't have to answer the question bro... E pass u.

There is something u clearly dont know.

That what is good to you may be evil to someone else.

It is people like u who will call God wicked for flooding the earth.
You are also the same person here saying why will God allow people to suffer like this?

Please Answer this question:

Is it possible to erase the people responsible for all these evil on earth without causing more pain and suffering?

Please answer.

I do not have an answer to all these questions, but no one has all the answers to lifes questions either.

But it does not disprove the existence of God. God never said he's going to wipe evil off the face of the earth.
Evil exists temporarily and the Bible gives a reasonable explanation for it

Ok, these questions might not disprove the existence of God but they sure prove that your idea of God is psychotic and disturbing.

Have u considered that you might actually be worshipping a monster? I think k humans need to kill it, ibstead of worshipping it (that's if he exists, for most of u who usually gets confused at this point)

Even in my most painful moments I still give thanks to God. When I had no one to help, no money, no food, still, I gave thanks to God and asked Him for help. And when He sent help, I thanked Him. If He hadn't, I would still have thanked Him by His grace.

OP, it doesn't mean those of us thanking God for His blessings were never once like those suffering you're talking about. But we never stopped thanking God because He said in everything we should give thanks to Him.

OP, next time you see such people, make sure you do a survey from time to time and find out if you'll still see the same people in the same situation because I'm sure they would have gotten help through missionaries, NGO's and the rest.

Don't forget, "the poor you'll always have with you." The question is what will you do about it in your own little way?

We are not in a perfect world, we can't all be rich and healthy at the same time because it would mean we wouldn't even need each other.

AND don't forget that those who thank God for His blessings also pray for God to bless the needy.

HE MAKES ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME

Show me 1 of these children you have successfully rehabilitated with proof and I will show you 10 I have successfully rehabilitated with proof like names, addresses and whatever else you need...

You see this blame game does not work with God. It would work if He had not made us to be in charge of the earth...He expects us to do good to our fellow man and now instead of you DOING good (which is an act) here you are talking and blaming everyone excluding yourself even when you have not impacted or attempted any among those you are complaining about and using as pawns in this blame game of yours....

Is that all they are to you? Just tools to blame God with? How many have you helped? Today I was around Oshodi while coming back from Ogbomoso where I went to and I had to alight so I could give my own humble financial assistance to those beggers on the bridge and I made sure I bought a bottle of ice cold mineral for each of them and when done I took another vehicle to Ajah my residence....

Make some effort to do more and complain less... if man can destroy this world through Hatred and selfishness and greed we can also fix it through Love and this is the message of Jesus...LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF...Do you do this?

Shifting the goalpost as always winner01. Is the question too hard. I didn't ask what any human had done for them, because we do a lot whether atheist or Christian. I'm asking what God has done. God that can feed them for a year without pouring a sweat, God that can bring paradise and vanquish the devil without all these sinuous plot of good vs bad. God that could atleast not let them be born only to suffer and die.
What is God doing for them?

From your response and question, I don't think you get my point.

Why blame God when good thing happens to you, like you read and pass exam.

But blame man when you don't read and fail exam?

If people don't read and pass exam they say it's God.
If people don't read and fail exam, they say it's man's fault.

It's God just sitting down and taking glory for what he didn't do?

I honestly tend not to care what thiests believe anymore. It is obvious their God is imaginary. We don't know what the cause of the universe is. There is mo truth only human opinion But basically let them just stop saturating science with creationist pseudoscientific nonsenses. Today somebody said dark matter does not exist. I was so pissed. Do you really have to be so dishonest because you want to believe in a deity so badly. And christians are supposed to be moral

FYI I am not winner01...Since you do not believe God exists why then do you blame Him?

The question should be...WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IN ORDER TO REPLACE GOD WITH YOUR OWN VERSION OF HELP AND SOLUTION ?

Why blame He who is non existent to you? Shouldnt you be blaming the existent which is you? YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND NOT GOD SO ISNT IT RIGHT TO SAY YOU ARE THE PROBLEM AND NOT GOD?

Do you Love others as you Love yourself? Do you love the HIV infested or the Cancer ridden or the Sore infested as you love yourself? Have you paid someones hospital bills before? Have you taken a poor persn shoppibg before? Have you attempted to make anothers life as comfortable as yours before? Have you fed someone with what you could eat or with less before?

well to be honest bill gates did say "I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don't know."

It is very much clear that Bill Gates works on Moral beliefs rather than on religious ones.
Creationists quote mine this to say "bill gates believes in God" but he's right even if you believe in a deity or not what difference would it make in your life. There are better things to involve your time into than religion. Bill gates is smart enough to realise that it doesn't matter. It is obvious he has deistic views not gnostic thiest views

I know people who read and were good in their academics only to run mad on the morning they were to write their exams.

Even if u know how to read, its still not a guarantee.
Hence the need to thank God when u succeed.
And even real christians also thank God when the going "seems worse".
Because situations could also be worse. No Matter how bad things look
