God and Distaster

In short, I don't believe that everything has to be nice, sweet, and perfect for God to exist.

What's interesting is that people who live in poorer countries - which often means a greater number of illnesses, deaths, and natural disasters occurring in those places - tend to be more religious as compared to people who live in countries with higher living standards. They are the ones who see more bad things happening around them than we do, and yet, they still believe in God.

Therefore, I think that hard experiences have an effect of reminding people of God in one way or another, as it happens to me as well, though certainly not the case for everyone.
