If God is truly good, why does suffering exist?

If you only want to say bad things about God, then go do it somewhere else. Cause God is AWESOME!

@enuggett ...u should question, what the sence of the bible is; u should read it to figure it out but above all, u get to know God. You get to understand, that there is no other way than God has chosen it for this world. You will notice that this is the best way, because God has chosen it. You will get that everything he's doing has a good background, even if it doesn't seem to be so at the 1st sight. You shouldn't forget;we're just human with a restricted mind; God's mind is different than ours

@enuggett whaddaya wanna say with that? Do you wanna say that God is evil? Are you questioning his actions? Do you wanna say you could do it better at his position?

Or do you wanna say that God doesn't exist? Then it would be so, that all these bad things are happening because we are bad.

The secound is partially right: We human are bad, since we are acting evil as you can see in this world. But, God does exist and he hates evil. Who said that God said a raped woman shall marry her rapist?...

How do you know God didn't want robots? How the FUCK can YOU make such a claim? Do u think you can just make stuff up? Oh yeah I forgot.YOU ALWAYS DO! The entire bible is made by someone who wanted attention. Priests now just have the authority to "pile on" to the story however they damn well please. Grow a pair for fuck sakes. CAI NA REAL! Face facts, if you are a priest you are wasting your life away and your living off all the people who work their asses off. People who have REAL jobs.

@enuggett you should read the book "Is God a moral monster?" I forgot who it's by but it's pretty good. Im agnostic and i had a lot of those kind of thoughts especially with old testament laws, but it changed my view completley.

@kapeoow And what do you make of God commanding all the Amalekites to be killed--men, women & children? What do you make of God saying it is ok to beat your slaves as long as they are able to get up & walk within two days? What do you make of God saying that a reasonable solution to having been raped is for the victim to marry her rapist? What do you make of God saying disobedient children should be killed? I could keep going, but you get the idea. Those are God's commands, HIS choices!

[enuggett]

@kapeoow Free will is a cop out. But I'll let you have it if that is what you need in order to make sense of divine inactivity. (I do wonder, though, if free will is so sacred to god, why he bothered opening and closing wombs, parting seas, sending plagues, talking through donkeys, sending chariots of fire, etc.) But free will doesn't answer catastrophes and natural disasters that have nothing to do with free will. If you were god, would you send a tsunami to kill hundreds of thousands?

[kapeoow]

@enuggett Whatever God does is for our own good, but he can not force our will, you obviously didn't catch the message, because the things people do towards these girls are from their own will, and they go against God's will by causing suffering for other people. And according to the other part, God is endlessly wise, and we can not understand his ways because we are but human.

@4lifecopt-If you were an all-mighty, all-powerful divine being, I believe you would not have sit idly by while thousands of little girls cried out for help every day for the past several thousand years to save them from forcibly having their genitals cut off. I believe you wouldn't allow tsunamis to wipe out hundreds of thousands of innocent people & destroy vast infrastructures. Why do people excuse God from such heinous behavior? The point is...these things happen because God doesn't exist.
