When someone close to you dies, don't you know there is no God? Such cruelty could only happen by chance! An-

Question

imals eating each other to survive, people killing each other as a survival instinct gone mad (war). On a day when you are feeling bad, you must surely realize that a world where such cruel and heartless things happen to everyone, both those considered good and those considered bad, must have evolved by chance. No dominant force like a God could have been no merciless!

Answer 1

Why do assume a God has to be a good God?

Answer 2

dont be upset at the world,because there is a god,in everyones hearts.you will understand when your older.take care now..yours,mary.c.

Answer 3

The only reason you know there's such thing as "cruelty" is because you have something good to compare it to. So couldn't you also say in a world without a God, there would be no good? You never know God's intention.

Answer 4

There is no god, but your thought process is messy and jumbled.

You are assuming a god would be benevolent, but where exactly is it guaranteed that a god can't be merciless? You are assuming that a person needs to feel "bad" or be having a bad day to recognize that there are a lot of things wrong in the world. Evolution doesn't happen "by chance," whether it's evolution of living things or evolution of social and political phenomenon. People die of natural causes because the body is susceptible to disease and deteriorates with age. People die of unnatural cases because they or others make bad decisions, or through no-fault accidents. And I'm not sure what you think animals have to do with any of this -- animals evolved as either predators or prey, and there is nothing cruel or wrong in the natural order of things.

Answer 5

I don't know what you are getting at.

I do know there is no god.

Answer 6

Pain is hard to deal with and can make a person quickly arrive at an opinion like the one you have stated.  But one must remember that we do only see things from a VERY limited perspective, and though they make no sense now, whenever you leave your body all things will be known and you will know exactly why everything that has happened has.

Everything that happens, large or small, affects everything else in this world, and everything really does happen for a reason. Imagine for a moment that the place you go to is infinitely better than this place and the only way to get there is to die.  Then dieing would seem like a blessing right? And living like a curse.  That is why the day you die is better than the day you were born, because you must endure so much in this world.  Dieing is the end of the test.  You are being tested right now and you are denying the existence of God because you do not understand what is happening. A common error. Keep searching. Don't give up.  One day you will understand all.
