People suffer as consequences of their past actions. It has nothing to do with a god but the individual. Its just like blaming crime on devil. |

Aaronsrod: Sorry to break it to you but nobody lives eternally. CRK: Even the bible made us aware of that. -God made man to live in the garden of Eden. Planted a lot of trees including the tree of life. - Set him up by telling him only about the tree of knowledge of good and bad. -Effecting his treachery by allowing an evil he made to tempt man. -Chased man away from the garden & guarding it with a There was no way he budgeted man to live eternally. In part 2 though he realized his mistake. -He came down to atone for his sins of setting man up. -He allowed himself to be sacrificed so that man can now live eternally (I wonder how that made sense ). #Hurray mankind is saved at last!! 3 Likes |

Jesuobu:You think so? Why? Jesuobu: Can you give a better explanation for 'evil being absence of good' because the darkness - light analogy is not valid. While light has wave and particle properties, darkness doesn't. |

The devil came to steal and to destroy , God doesn't allow evil befall us , it is the devil that does that , to cause unbelief and turn us away from God .. That's why as believers we ought to stand and live by faith to quench the activities of the enemy upon our lives...and how does faith comes by hearing the word of God and acting upon it . |

Jesuobu: Another commonsense reason could be that there is no god existence and so NO control over what happens to you I suppose most black africans have not reached that level of thinking so the rubbish written here will do for now 6 Likes |

Miles300:yeah when we face problems, the devil laughs at it and rejoice that he has got the person. His intention is to see the person destroyed but God sees it the other way and use it to draw us closer to Him |

Religion is anti-nature This is why I favour some religion above Christianity. Vandata, zen Buddhism, different system of the yoga religion etc has somemore logical n reasonable answers to questions like this than hide under the skin of an "unquestionable God". Good and evil War and peace Friends and enemies Matter and antimatter Love and hate Etc Nature in it characteristics is of both positive and negative, it just finds a way to balance itself. When you speak of a supreme being that is malevolent and omnipresent, loving and kind hearted and from the bible " the plan of God for us is of good and not evil(I av forgotten d book precisely). And yet all the evil of the world happens under his watch, we need to question his claims therefore. I would accept a "supreme nature" rather than a subprime God tho.. My opinion 3 Likes |

It is not a matter of permitting when God was never in charge in the first place. God created the EARTH FOR MAN to HANDLE so what happens here has man behind it. Only man has the authority on earth. It is him that issues the licenses for intervention BY ANY EXTERNAL BODY whether good or bad. It is God's responsibility to provide the tools, the means of well being called Righteousness just as Satan provides the seeds of evil through temptation. The power to rule God gave to man in the Garden of Eden and man has been making choices good and bad since then and enjoying and suffering the consequences respectively. Man is completely responsible for what happens to himself. 2 Likes |

DeSepiero: while i am not a religious fanatic like the op, i would like to know the sins infants have committed to die in tragic ways like abortions, natural disasters and so on? Truth evil happens to all men eventually whether good or bad. Why it seems to the fanatic op that God allows it is because he is still in the school of thought that when man knows God he stops being human...SMH |

hahn: People are just ignorant, lazy, and refuse to take responsibility for their actions. This is the main reason people pray. Deflect responsibility. Bad shiit will always happen no matter who one prays to. Nigerians are most guilty of this mentality. Nigerians will not go for yearly medical check ups and when they drop dead at an early age or have a horrific preventable disease, the family starts yelling, "God, why"? 1 Like |

My Qur'an says "So after hardship there is relief And verily after hardship there is relief" So for every hardship there are two relieves and one hardship cannot over come two relieves, so just be patient as God love those that are patient. |
