It seems it's pretty much acknowledged God can protect us from evils, but doesn't. She can eliminate unnecessary suffering but doesn't.
She can have created a world without all these wars, disease, famines, poverty, but didn't?
The question is further complicated by the fact, if we personally can reduce suffering in the world, we ought to do so. That being the case, why isn't God required to do so?
If we should strive in science to eliminate all disease or find cures for illnesses, why doesn't God reduce all diseases and illness to practically nothing or eliminate it all together?
It's further complicated when many of those who die, are children. Children who will not have the ability to build their character and be tested with regards to the evils. What will be their fate? If it's heaven and their life was worthwhile, why couldn't heaven be the starting and end place of all humanity?
These are important and pressing questions.
You do realize we as humans can solve the problem of war, disease, famine and poverty.
It should be obvious that since your god can fix all these problems but chooses not to should be a hint that
your god doesn't give a fuck about humanity.
1. Medical scientists are striving to cure diseases and illnesses.
2. The problem of war can be solved with Diplomacy the ability of telling someone to go to hell they enjoy the trip.
3. Poverty easy enough fix more opportunity for jobs, increase in minimum wage, and social services to help those who are less fortunate
getting them back into society.
4. Famine well.. either or study the wheather patterns.
