The only way the Bible makes sense is if we conclude that god is a raving lunatic whose greatest thrill comes from human suffering. Its only when christians try to claim that "god is good" or "god loves us" that the story gets ridiculous.

This is supposedly a being that KNOWS EVERYTHING and has INFINITE POWER. Yet he stands by and watches every time a child is molested and does NOTHING to stop it. Does he strike the molester dead on the spot? No. Does he send a cop? No. Does he do ANYTHING to prevent it? No. Even though he could help the child with less than the blink of his almighty eye. Why? He can't say he didn't know. And he can't say he couldn't do anything about it, right? So he must ALLOW IT because HE LIKES IT!

The same with starving children and disease. Its entertainment for him. And even though he could change it all, with less effort than we could change the channel on our TV, he refuses to reach for the remote. Instead he'll just reach for a shotgun and blow a hole through the screen. YEE HAW!

This is one sick god we've got here. He loves human suffering so very much that he just couldn't get enough of it in this world. So he had to create a place of ETERNAL TORTURE so he could REALLY get off! And does he send people there who have done horrible things they need to be punished for? No, he forgives all of that. He only sends people who don't believe a story that says that the creator of all things is such a horrible monster that he actually created a place of ETERNAL TORTURE. If you think god is better than that you go to Hell.

Now reading the Bible what does it say Satan's big crime was? His ego. He thought he could do a better job than god. But looking at the world around us how wrong could he have been? Anybody could do a better job than this raving lunatic of a god. The christian god is just about what you could expect if the Joker from Batman had infinite power.

A christian will only suffer if his life style is at variance with the Will of God. A christian who obey the voice of God will escape suffering and tribulation

Well, I seem to be interested in the way you responded to the issue at hand. If you want to be content as an indicter finding faults with everything, or a seeker for truth, it all rests with you. Instead of seeking genuinely for truth, do not out of your vanity assume an air Of importance by spreading venomous bile out of your supposed knowledge.

I think the fault actually lies with those who portray God as an arbitrary Being. The being called God is not at all complex, wierd, mysterious, or irrational as depicted in numerous vain stories.

Consider a child who does not understand the language of its parent, what would become of such child? If a human creature does not understand the language of its creator, and, out of pride and arrogance, he does not wish to learn the language which is to help him navigate his journey in life, what would become of such a wilfully stubborn creature? Suffering, pain, distress and sorrow.

Our understanding of everything is based solely on our levels of inner maturity. God is simple, lucid and can be easily understood by anyone who wishes to. He does not wish anyone to suffer. Otherwise he would not be a just loving God. But how does suffering come about? Why is the omniscient God allowing all these 'evil' things to go on.

Man has been given the power to create 'forms' on his own through the gift of his freewill. This also goes with responsibility. Where there is no freedom of decision there can be no responsibility. Through vanity man has for thousand of years put form of ignoble features into creation and must reap the consequences of his decisions. The law says you reap what you sow. This may take several earth-life to completely expiate all your karmic burden.

This, Man created heaven or hell himself.

Just as a single action may bring about heavy burden of guilt, so also a simple action or thoughts of love can bring redemption. There are laws put in place operating and maintaining this creation. We, also are products of this creation and are thus subject to these laws. Nothing arbitrary. God does not concern himself with how man fares on earth.

If out of ignorance you act in contrary to the laws of nature, you must bring about a balance to it. Then you are free of the guilt. This earth is a school. Until you learn the spiritual lessons to mature your spirit, thereby cultivating the fruit of the spirit, you will always come back to go through the bitter process of learning.
