I understand what you mean, I just don't understand how God hears everyone. If he can hear us pray then why would he let people die in natural disasters or other things. I know people cant always live forever but at least let them die from old age instead of feeling a lot of pain and fear
I understand why you are thinking that. However, why do people always blame God for everything bad in the world? I am not saying that I am happy when disasters happen, and trust me, I wish that everyone could live a good life and die from old age; but, whatever we believe in, there are always choices which lead us into certain situations.
One cannot just rely on God and expect life to be a bed of roses. We have all been given a life and it is up to us to choose how to live it, off course based on our own circumstances.
However, I will make a different example to yours, just to make sure that there are two sides to a story too. You talk of natural disasters, I will talk of murderers. Don't you think that murderers have a choice in killing their victims, and choosing a way by which to kill them? Is that God's fault also? The victims sure do die feeling a lot of pain and fear, but it was not God who told the murderer to go and kill their victim at a certain place and time.
When it comes to natural disasters, I think that God does it in order to punish people for all the terrible things which they do in the world. It is God's choice, so I don't know how to reply to that. A human mind might not be capable of understanding his intentions, but who am I to stop him?
But why doesn't he help the people who are in danger. For example, a man/woman prays every day and goes to church on Sundays. One day they are walking and a man shoots him/her. They prayed and went to church every sunday, don't you think they should have had a good life. I really like your responses but I just don't see him as a God, I don't think there should be a god
Dying like that does not mean that they didn't live a good life. There are so many ways to die, and unfortunately people do get shot. I cannot explain God. However, I will not say something against him either.
I know what you mean and I know why people ask those questions, but how is he supposed to help them? (I know that he can, but his reasons are unknown) We all know that a person can die by being shot in their stomach. That person staying alive will pretty much be considererd a miracle, so it is not surprising that the person dies anyway.
Sorry for saying there shouldn't be a god, I felt like shit for saying that cuz you strongly believe in him -_____- I don't want to say I lost hope in him, I just don't see a God in my thoughts or life
I don't feel bad. I understand your point of view. It is just that I believe that one should have God in their life even though people find it hard to do so. Never lose hope!
Is it normal to not believe in God anymore?
