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

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.

That is why i used the term "mildly controllable"....I chose those words carefully.

This world is where evil exists temporarily. All kinds of evil.

Then how can a loving God bring them to this world knowing fully well what they would go through?

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

I'm sure there are theist here that will object and say Jesus.

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

No one said anything about God not existing, I said if he existed he was wicked.

What is the atheistic explanation for evil

We live in an imperfect world and we are imperfect creatures.

Why not make your own planet with a more stable tectonic plate, then call out to God for being a poor designer.

You hate and bigotry is what has blinded you.

Wow such wisdom. However shall we counter such intellectual wit.
Did God give you this unparalleled wisdom?

winner01:


The concept of empathy is not foreign to christians simply because you said so.

Global suffering does not disprove the existence of God. Evil exists temporarily.

If man was not so foolish, global suffering would be mildly controllable.

Its ironic that he causes a problem and then blames God for it.

And I'm sure your typing that with your phone, probably inside a nice little shelter, you probably have clothes on and probably wore your best to church today, you eat three square meals a day, drink nice clean water and its even cold when there's light. Don't you just love your life with Jesus?
When you've starved so much you no longer have the strength to cry or pray or even move, when you've never worn clothes for months and they are the least of your worries, when you've had to drink water so dirty it wouldn't be fit for washing your legs, when your whole life you've had nothing but pain hunger and suffering, only dreams of food, only imaginations of your own death. Then you can tell me there is a God that cares. Only then.

Pictures of starving children in the Biafra war was said to be what made Steve Jobs(cofounder of apple) turn to an atheistic religion. He couldn't understand why any God with a drop of human sympathy would let people suffer like this.
All those seriously sick and starving people, people with real problems that he could have helped. He left all of them to help you pass an exam, marry, get a job, get more money, have a car e.t.c
If your situation isn't immediately life threatening and you said God answered your prayer, then God is a misanthropic being.
Some people will claim that these people were not children of God, or that is the work of the devil, or that this earth does not matter.

I'll ask all those people to think about what they are saying
These children live in the poorest of poor countries, they have no education, no food, no clean water and for some no parents, the missionaries don't even want to go to these war ravaged places and when they do they only cover a small territory, so most of these people have never even heard of Jesus or even Yahweh. They never had a chance to hear God's word.
They're too busy trying to survive with nothing. But they are still children of God right? So why would he let them suffer more than any human ever should, I'm sure some of them wished they were never born into this life, but they were

And you say God got you a job, a car, a house, admission, more money. Do you now understand while its stupid to say God answered your prayer? That he left all these suffering people and wasted his power on you and your irrelevant need..
In a world with God and pastors with jets this should not exist.


God either does not exist or he is Malevolent

I doubt that as a christian you've ever truly thought about the very flawed logic of God answering your everyday trivial prayers.

People ask God for mundane things like
Passing exams
Marrying
Getting a job
Making money
Sunny weather


The list goes on and on and apparently you can ask God for anything(though it doesn't mean he'll always answer you) and when you do get what you asked for, no matter how trivial your request was, you'll instantly think God did it.

"My God has done it for me" is a very popular sentence for the religious, but what they fail to understand is that the moment you claim God answered your prayers it means he left these people

All religious institutions should be tasked. The robbery is too much. How do you guys think your pastors can buy jets and mansions. Is it not from the church and businesses he opened with church money? Nigerians fight against the injustice.

though am a christian because i was born into a christian home. but some of this things now makes me start doubting God.
¤ Why didnt God kill satan from the beginning since he can see the future and knows satan is only going to bring trouble into the world and steal God'S people

¤ why did he put the forbidden fruit in the garden of eden when he knows its not good.

¤ why would an all loving God create hell when he asked us to forgive our offenders

Religion is flawed and the deeper you question the more it shows.
Just look at the rubbish
muyoge is typing.

SirShifty:
Jesus should be considered to be a fictional character, the real one in History was a normal man who led an end of the world cult. The stories attached to him are untrue and absurd, they are so outrageous that we might as well see him as fictional. His character was created to control people, which sane man would tell people to turn the other cheek and leave their families behind, this is cult like thinking

Exactly
