If god exists, why does he let people suffer?

a religious man asked me this question, and I replied, because its not god that is killing us. God gave us life, he gave us a brain and what we do with it is our fault. Like war, god did not create war people did, god did not create global warming, we...

did. And as for illness is it not gods blessing to take us away before the pain gets to bad? what are your opinions?

I dont judge people, if you believe or dont its fine, my uncle is a pagan, and my cousin is agnostic. and I love them both

I dont think he exists so dont SHOOT me its MY opinion

Like you said we make ourselves suffer. God already gave us the answers to all our questions when he let his son Jesus Christ die on the cross for all of our sins. He'll never put more on us than what we can bare. Its up to us when we choose what road take. Some people just have their own opinions about about our God. You just be blessed.

lol same here I dont believe DONT SHOOT its MY opinion XD

thats cool =)... and nice =D

If we never had any life experience from getting over bad stuff wed be as mature as babies. Its philosophy of life I dont believe in god

I believe he exsists.. I heard some that goes like"there was a man at the barber getting his hair cut. The man in the chair asked his barber if her believed in god."no" responded the barber."If there were a God there wouldnt be so many people suffering." The man in the chair wanted to show that God truly did exist. After a while a man with a long beard was passing by."barber's dont exist!" exclaimed the man in the chair."what are you talking about the barber asked confused im right here". The man in the chair pointed at the man with the long beard passing by "if they did people wouldnt be walking around with long beards" ."Thats because they need to come to me or else I cant do anything" said the barber. "Exactly!!" exclaimed the man in the chair"You must come to God and let him help you with your problems and you must pray to him for him to answer his prayers"

um I dont know if I said that whole story right but I think you know what im trying to say..

well my friend maria wants to type something

Maria: 1st of all I dont believe in "god" I believe he is somethinng people made up a long time ago to explain nature like the europeans did with their god they had a god of rain and what not I just think "god" is no better than a good luck charm ,they dont work and you just use them when you need them. praying dosent help at all my perspective and im tired of people trying to shove religion down my throat.

Made god up? Is that the best you can come up with? How ridicilous!
So, Maria can YOU then explain why we are here and everything if god is made up?

like I said before, whatever your belief, it doesnt bother me wether budist, christian,, muslim, athiest agnostic whatever I dont care, my friends are all religions and I never shove my beliefs down peoples throat, I posted it on here to see what people believed, not force god down your throat! I dont like people who force there belief on you

lol
god is just to make people feel safe in the world when there realy is not = /
people who turn to god for help are weak and pathetic...not realy but 'god' is not going to hold your hand through your life you have to stand up for your self its the 21st century and there is crazy people who will want to hurt you and its not like you can pray them to sleep XDD

I have to agree with you on most of it, God gave us will and he left it in our hands, what we do with it is not up to him, some people cause suffering, and some people suffer, but God is always there no matter what you think.

god isnt real in my opinion and I agree with daydreamer161

I love you people =D lol just kidding
I don't know why but I like emos but im not an emo and im not in to that shiz ahhahahahhaha

I'm am sorry for Maria's rude comment she is just like that this is her computer she is allowing me to use so yeah..

Maria: LOL I agree with daydreamer161 XD and if you believe so strongly about this "fau" why mark your question so that people dont know who you are . ashamed?
thouht so. and me ridiculous?!?!? who is the one Making up and imaginary friend and naming him "god". the earth and humans are here because of simple science. I didnt say you were trying to shove religion down my throat when I said people I meant it in general. oh and carjon11208 look up lakewood church its houston's largest church when I go there,I mean forced to go there my mother made me go meet some marcos dude the pastor for the spanish service. thats what he said "he's like no matter if you believe or dont believe god is here and he exsits he got so mad and I just calmly told him what I think . WOw he made a fool of himself.

=D
add me if you agree =P
I will even allow the ones who disagree hahhahah I need friends on this handy website =O

I never said anyone was rediculous, but with the way you are acting, you are a joke, like a little kid defending themselves! im not a ott christian I like cradle of filth and slipknot, I asked a simple question, were I diddnt mind if you believed in god, and you read to much into it
