I’m an atheist. So why can’t I shake God?
RE: I’m an atheist. So why can’t I shake God?

Just because they happen doesn't mean God wills it to happen. He doesn't want it to happen at all, but earth is a place for learning, and through pain people learn lessons, which effect the universal consciousness of us all in hopes that we will learn to prevent those things to happen. Just like a parent doesn't want their child to get hurt, the child will experience life and through pain learn a lesson to avoid that in the future. It's part of life and learning. Do you get upset when a carnivore kills it's prey? It's the circle of life and nature.

So what lesson does my wife learn from being struck down from birth by a pair of as-yet-incurable diseases of the immune system? How is it okay for her free will to be violated by god allowing her to have those? Look man, clearly your god is a good god, because he took the time to help you rake leaves while ignoring the deathbed prayers of this devoutly christian woman who had foregone traditional medicine until her organs began to fail, such was her faith in the kindness of this god; I mean, her kidneys shut down and everything, but hey, you didn't have to do a chore, so it all worked out in the end, right?
