juggalo its hard to explain the idea of why God allows people to suffer. Think of free will like this:

Free Will = You moving out of your parents house and having to fend for yourself. You make choices yourself and you have concequences for those choices good or bad, and your choices can effect OTHER people. So, the children who are dying and starving and stuff. No it isn't their fault, its their parents fault, or there parents parents fault... somewhere down the line its someone in their families fault. There choices effected their grandchildren. So, God is not going to just come rescue someone. We are on our own... we aren't going to get help from God, because we are on our own on earth. However, christians feel you still have to believe in God and worship him, because what would be better... having a crappy life or not having a life? Everyone on earth should be greatful... they are all alive.. which is a blessing. Again, just my take.
FrenchInhale Reviewed by FrenchInhale on . question to the faithful i used to be a christian and now im a agnostic. i lost my faith in god due to mostly the bad things i see happening all around the world. i have a question to all christians how do you reconcile a belief in a merciful god with the millions of children dying of aids in africa and the innocent people all over the world who suffer and die needlessly? how does a child dying of starvation fit into gods plan? every christian rants against those who support reproduction rights as 'baby killers' why Rating: 5
