If god is all knowing, all loving, and all powerful, then why is there so much suffering in the world?

He’s not real. It took me decades to be able to realize that because I wanted to believe in him so badly. But he’s not there. We have to take care of problems ourselves.

Ask Job… he lost his entire family over a bet with Satan.. a bet that “god” already knew he would win.. lol 😂

Dude, Job’s story made me SOOOOO MAD

by red_eviction · 1 heart

It’s absolutely disgusting. And it’s ridiculous when people reply back with he got 10 times what he had previously, like that meant more than the 10 children that he lost. Absurd. People are so lost.

They say we were created by the image of God, reality is, God was created by the imagination of humans.

god is just the dream of some ignorant illiterate shepherds 🤷‍♂️

by grey_ownership · 1 heart

I agree. I think it's because they want to see their deceased loved ones again in some way. So they start believing in this fairy tale to help them cope. Which I understand that part. But c'mon if God was real, he or she would get up from the effen chair and save this world.

by 🙄psyquack3000 · 0 hearts

lol allot of things would be different. but i agree with your theory bc it's incredibly natural to think those kinds of things in that situation

by Caveman91 · 4 hearts

Doesn't it also say in the Bible that God is a spiteful, jealous and vengeful God? Soooo if that's the case wouldn't it make sense that his revenge is to allow the bad to happen?

by Helifaxlove · 3 hearts

God didnt create evil and suffering, humans did because God allows free will bc love is freedom, not control

by JustinatMagnify · 1 heart

The Bible says otherwise. Or are you saying/implying that you're a higher authority than scripture?

by Huskerdust · 0 hearts

Sin/free will only explains some human-caused suffering. It does not explain earthquakes, childhood cancer, genetic disorders, parasites, birth defects, tsunamis, or millions of years of animal suffering before humans existed. And even if humans chose sin, an all-knowing God created the system knowing that would happen. So saying ‘because sin’ doesn’t solve the moral problem. It just says God designed a reality where one failure could lead to massive suffering for everyone

by 🙄psyquack3000 · 0 hearts

if there was a god who was all powerful they could create a world where choice existed and suffering didn't. so your argument is that your God is NOT all powerful. is that what you meant?

by olive_gardenns · 3 hearts

just because he knows, just because he can, and just because he loves, doesn't mean he has to do anything. he is BUSY. he still hasn't gotten bored of playing the tony hawk 1&2 bundle on the switch

🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥

by Huskerdust · 0 hearts

If God knows, can help, and loves perfectly but “doesn’t have to do anything,” then you’re describing indifference, not love. Being “busy” also doesn’t work for an all-powerful God. A limited being can be busy. An omnipotent one can’t.

by I didn’t do it · 3 hearts

Free will. Short answer

by Huskerdust · 0 hearts

Free will doesn’t explain why suffering needs to exist. Especially natural suffering

by I didn’t do it · 0 hearts

Free will has conferences. Death is the wage of sin

by Huskerdust · 0 hearts

“Death is the wage of sin” because God chose to design the system that way. That’s not loving at all

by Quickly · 3 hearts

Because he gave us free will

by Turnip_Mash · 2 hearts

So since there's no suffering in heaven, do we lose our free will when we go there?

Free will doesn’t explain why suffering needs to exist

Free Will

by Icedcoffee_ · 2 hearts

Then god isn’t perfect

by PilotGuy 🛫 · 1 heart

There is nothing more loving than giving us free will. The alternative is enslavement.

by lainofthewired · 0 hearts

Why won't we sin and suffer in heaven? If we still have free will there, then we can have free will without sin and suffering. If we don't have free will there, then it's not that important after all. Pick your poison!

Blah blah "mysterious ways." They have no logical explanation.

by ThatOneGal000 · 2 hearts

maybe because its scared of what it created and doesn't want to go near it?

Why would an all powerful being be afraid of us?

Last time He showed up we nailed him to a stick and stabbed him with a spear as He was already dying. Would you want to come back to the world that worships you as the Dead Jew on a stick religion? Hell, I am God and I'm only willing to say that because I'm in a country with the right to bear arms/carry weapons.... so if y'all little psychotic apes try to Lynch me again. I'll just kill everyone who comes at me with evil "in their hearts"/evil intentions

by Verboten2 · 2 hearts

Nobody ever said that God makes everything perfect 🤷

by Huskerdust · 0 hearts

Then that’s not a tri-omni God. If God creates an imperfect reality on purpose, knowing it will produce disease, disasters, abuse, starvation, and suffering, then the question is still why a perfectly loving and all-powerful being would choose that design.

by Verboten2 · 0 hearts

I'm curious as to what litergy ever promises you a perfect life?

by Huskerdust · 0 hearts

Strawman. Never claimed perfect life was promised.

by Nuwday · 2 hearts

The simple answer is because of sin.

🤣🤣🤣 sure that's it

He didn’t “create evil” he created FREE WILL 🤦‍♂️

by Huskerdust · 0 hearts

Could God have created a universe with free-will but without evil?

by grey_intrigue · 0 hearts

😂 then there wouldn’t be free will nor knowledge of good and evil

by Huskerdust · 0 hearts

Then he isn’t all powerful if he’s unable to do that. Also, does that mean there’s no free will in heaven?

by Someroofer · 2 hearts

Tooth fairy. Easter Bunny. Santa Claus.... All on the same level of reality and this Great Gazooh you speak of.

by Unbreaking82 · 2 hearts

Because it's our world... this is where we make our choices.

by Huskerdust · 0 hearts

Not all suffering is man made. Are we more powerful than god that he can’t stop suffering?

by 🙄psyquack3000 · 0 hearts

that whole line about suffering/choice is a total canard
