God is dead. why does god let bad things happen?

a significant majority of people in Western civilization deny the existence of God, and claim the credit for all their own successes on their own superiority over Nature and the World.

Yet those same people, when faced with failure, pain or suffering, blame God for "allowing" it to happen.

is this normal?

  • You know what, I think you don't even care about these issues and you're just posting these stories to get a rise out of people. Is there some sort of method to your madness or do you just enjoy watching people quarreling over pointless crap?

    I don't think people truly understand what they are doing when they blame "God" for the bad things that happen to them. Good or bad, it's just another life lesson. You should at least try to find something useful to do with the new knowledge.

  • I dont believe in god by name I do believe something is out there that is the reason be that something like god or not but to say "Why wont god fix the problems we make" is too selfish and I think the people who think if the creator hasnt fixed the problems "We" make then it doesnt exist are just plain morons.

  • What's the question here?

    All I see is you pointing at hypocrisy in human nature and while that's great this has nothing to do with IIN.

    • Now do you understand why I say that some stories are pointless for the site?

      • Yes I've always understood and I agree but sometimes the best way to snuff out the fire (bad stories) is not to rant about it, but rather to deny them any comments.

        Subtlety mon ami! There's more than one road into a city and some are more bumpy than others.

    God is a mystery.
    Man can never explain, justify or understand.
    That is part of the faith.

    Quoted from the the old TV show "All in the Family"
    Archie Bunker: "Faith is somthing that nobody in their right mind would believe. But you do anyway."

    Well god is real he rose again on Easter. And ifbu are a Christian thanbu should tell them he is real and he is coming AGAIN. But it is not normal to not believe in God and still blame him for it! They just want someone to blame

    Do you honestly think that god does bad things.
    Its the Devil man, Earth is the devils playground. God loves use no matter what we think of him.

  • When humanity has tried everything in it's power to be autonomous, and miserably failed in every instance, God will reveal himself. We are like the rebellious teenage son who the father has kicked out of the house.

    Friedrich Nietzsche: Gott ist tot.

    Seriously, go look up some of Nietzsche's work, especially "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", which covers a lot of that stuff.

    I'm an atheist, but I don't blame god for bad things. I blame the situation or myself. When you don't believe in God that means you don't have that invisible being as a part of your life, good or bad.

    mostly out of habit. I used to do too even when I realized existence of a god is pure horseshit. Now I don't either I can fix it or can't, no one else will do it for me.
