Personally I'm a non-believer but it is said that there is a reason for everything and although we may not know what it is and we may think it is mere evil we all must have faith. Because in life we will never know the answers to these question. And While there is a god there is also a devil and these things may be his work. Concentrate on the good in the world... In other words stop watching the news.

Oh my brother Jesus and my father God are the biggest jerks you can meet. Praise me, praise me I am a jealous God yadda yadda. Have you seen the morons he allows to be in charge of the world? Poor pathetic humans.

If it wasn't for Jesus Christ you wouldn't be able to exist. You are forgetting who your creator is. I belive that Satin is the one who is responsible for evil doings.Not our Lord Jesus Christ!!

In response to Jesus Freak Needs Ancers, Jesus said he was coming back and why is it taking so long? In 2 Peter 3:9 God says "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." This verse gives a little look at the answer.Your other questions are so thoughtful and sincere. I know that bad things happen partly because there is sin and evil in the world. God does have a plan to take care of it forever and that is through his son Jesus.

1 God exists God keeps score In other words, the question assumes that God is sitting in heaven looking down on us, answering our prayers and keeping track of who is good and bad on a minute-by-minute basis. We assume that God keeps a record of "goodness" and "badness" for each of us. Under the Standard Model of God, the reason why God is keeping score is so that he can decide whose prayers he should answer and who should go to heaven once they die. But what if we were to approach the question from the opposite angle? What if we hypothesize that God is imaginary? Bad things happen to everyone To get a clearer picture of what is going on here, let's take a simple example. In the real world, what are your chances of getting cancer if you are good? We find that they are the same as your chances of getting cancer if you are bad. That is easy to prove statistically -- believers get cancer just as often as non-believers who have the same risk factors. |

The thing for you to notice is this: If we assume that God exists and that the Standard Model of God is true, then the question "Why do bad things happen to good people?" is a complete mystery. Our world makes no sense. However, if we assume that God is imaginary, there is no mystery at all. Our world makes complete sense.
That lack of mystery is one way we can know, for sure, that God is imaginary. All evidence points toward the fact that God is imaginary. God is not reaching down from heaven and arbitrarily modifying the laws of probability on behalf of believers. We know that, with certainty, by analyzing the statistics. Nor is God sitting in heaven answering the prayers of believers. Statistics show us that as well. Therefore, bad things happen to good people all the time. Hurricanes, volcanoes, forest fires, tornadoes, tsunamis, car crashes, diseases... they do not care whether you have been bad or good. They are equal opportunity disasters. We can prove this both with common sense and statistical rigor. One of the things running through your head right now may be "God's plan." This is the way that believers traditionally explain things like cancer, hurricanes and car accidents. Under this view of the universe, God plans everything. If you think about this simple implication for a few moments, you will begin to realize how impossible "God's plan" is. If the concept of "God's plan" is true, you can first of all see that God wants us to be aborting children. Every single abortion is planned by God, so God must be doing it for a reason. Second, you can see that both the mother who requests the abortion and the doctor who performs it are blameless. Since it is God who planned the abortion of the child the mother and doctor are simply puppets who are fulfilling God's plan. You can also see that all the believers who are fighting against abortion are missing the point. They are actually fighting against God's plan, and their fight is completely futile. God is the all-powerful ruler of the universe, and his plan is for more than a million children a year to die in the United States through abortion If God exists and God has a plan for you, then God is actually the direct cause of every abortion on earth. If you find that notion to be uncomfortable, I would agree with you. Unfortunately, that is the logical outcome of God's plan. |

. Since God has planned each of our deaths in exact detail, murderers are actually essential to God's plan. Why do we punish them? We should be rewarding them for doing their God-planned duty. What if you get raped tomorrow and get pregnant? God did that because he planned the exact time of that child's birth and death. God actually pre-planned your rape, and the rapist was God's puppet. Rather than hating the rapist, we should celebrate God's plan.
Do you believe that murderers and rapists should be rewarded? Do you believe that Hitler was sent by God to kill millions of people in the Holocaust? Do you believe that God is the direct cause of every abortion on this planet? Do you believe that you have no choice in your spouse or the number of children you have? Probably not. But that is what believers are saying when they say, "it is all part of "God's plan." You should be able to see reality now. The statement "It is part of God's plan" is meaningless. when you sit down and think it through using your common sense, it makes no sense. |

2 Evil is something that exists in the absence of God's perfect holiness. So evil exists in our world because we have a sin problem. God sometimes brings and/or allows what we call bad things to come into our lives to teach us or to train us in becoming more like Jesus. He can take something that's happened to us because evil exists in the world and make something good come out of it. God always promises believers a good outcome, whether in this world or our heavenly home. Ps 37 tells what the future holds for evil people who reject God. Ps 31:19 "How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you,..." |

Matthew 6:19 Luke 14:33 Matthew 6:24 Matthew 19:21-24 Matthew 19:28-29 Luke 9:23-25 Matt 13: 22 Hebrews 13:5 Phil 2:3 Acts 2:44-45 The message is clear. If you want to follow Jesus, you need to "sell your possessions and give to the poor." It is a very simple message, and easy to do. Have you done it? The fact that you are reading this page would indicate that you have not. Chances are you own a computer, pay for an Internet connection every month, live in a home or apartment, have a car, etc. In other words, you live a life at a level of wealth unimaginable in Jesus' time. Meanwhile, billions of people on the planet live in startling, abject poverty.
Why don't you sell everything and follow Jesus, as he requests in the Bible? The reason is simple: Jesus and God are imaginary, and you know it. If Jesus were real, you would do what he says.
