Even the devout suffer the ravages of famine, disease, natural disasters, hunger and a countless litany of other horrors. Where is the compassion of Christ for the infant with harlequin ichthyosis?

The power of churches is a fiction, kids. Grow up. If gods really, seriously cared for their followers, prayers would be answered at a significantly higher rate than chance (and don't post links to this or that study showing the efficacy of prayer. GIGO.). Why doesn't your loving god do something about the flood of Syrian refugees, or malarial epidemics, or crop failures, or any of the myriad of other things that are inimical to human happiness? Every discovery - without exception - that has made human beings happier, healthier or safer has been the result of the painstaking work of human men and women. No gods need apply.
What's that? There's a better life a-comin'? That's the trouble with you religionists - it's always jelly today and jelly tomorrow, but fuck-all for today.

Well in the bible it states that god gave the world to us and the enemy rules around here, this is because of Adam & eve's sin. so the fact that they did sin changed how god was planning on guiding us on earth & that's why god can't do anything about it all but giving your heart & life to him is the way he gets to guide us while we do his will down on earth.Want to know more do some research on Google type in your question there and it will give you one.
