| Screamapillar said: What point are you trying to make? That nature is a peaceful force and should never harm any animals, humans included? Suffering isn't merely because of natural disasters, it's also because of what people do to themselves, whether it be directly (obesity, drug abuse, etc) or indirectly (electing politicians that destroy a society incrementally over a long period of time, that leads to severe conditions that ultimately lead to disasters beyond our control). I wasn't sure with your original post if you were being serious or not. I see that you are. Most people who believe in God do not believe that he should stop all suffering of all humans. Free will to live our lives as we choose is mankinds' greatest gift. Otherwise, what point is there to life in the first place? |
Let's assume that every natural disaster of modern times were, in some way, caused by humans. Even if that were the case, it wouldn't explain all the natural disasters that occured before politicians or even humans could have possibly had any impact on the environment. Those natural disasters were caused by God, since Nature doesn't have free will. Which means God causes extreme pain and suffering for no reason....also known as: EVIL
