True or false? If we are God's children and

Question

We believe there is a a God. Then Why would anyone on Earth want to harm another person? What is the use? If there isnt a God Why do we want to hurt another anyways cause then that life becomes more precious if there isnt any afterlife.

Answer 1

Those individuals either don't believe in God or purposely disobey him.  

Answer 2

That's a meaningless question really.  People hurt others for a vast assortment or reasons, all revolving around emotions.  Jealousy, anger, envy, fear.

God has nothing to do with it.  More people have been killed in the NAME of a god than just about any single reason.  Was a belief in God responsible?  Probably not, it was probably other factors (see above), but 'God' is a handy excuse to use sometimes.

Answer 3

So, to boil it down, your questions is really, "Why do people hurt others?" Right?

Not a simple answer.  First, if they believe in God or not is immaterial.  Even those who may use the "they needed killing" justification in relation to their religious beliefs are engaging their own human nature rather than anything bequeathed to them by God.  God created Man.  God created spirituality and human curiosity for things spritual.  Man created religion in an attempt to deal with and reconcile that curiosity.  I defy anyone to offer for example any religion of man, past or present, that was created by and is practiced by Man as God intended.  Save you the attempt; there are none.  It is the dogma and disagreements with disparate dogma of these creations of Man that become the problem as relates to religious based violence.  Why?  Because each of us believes we each personally have it right and everyone else has it wrong.  When in truth, we all have it wrong.  Even me.  Especially me.  All God ever really communcates to us through the Bible is the one thing he really wants for us to do.  Everything else is intended to point us in that direction.  It is the easiest thing in the world, but the most impossible thing for any of us to accomplish.  It is an enigma.  It is a puzzle.  It is a completely foreign idea.  What is it?  Give up.  That's it, just give up.  Give up your ideas, your hopes, your dreams, your fears, your desires, your anger, jealousy, envy, pride, lust, everything that makes you who you are, take those things and give them up to God.

But we can't.  Because that would be too much like suicide, so we instead take the frustration caused by the void within us out on those around us.  We point fingers at those other evil doers in a juvenile attempt to distract attention from our own failings.  We kill evil so the evil in us will not be recognized.

Or, so I think.  

And way over simplified at that.
