I believe that God created this reality and acts in it. Reality is what it is, warts and all. Like the non Xtian realist, I take life as it is. Unlike the non Xtian realist... I read it all as being the way God intended it.
The bible sets out the precept that physical ailment can also be related to spiritual ill health. It also states that spiritual health elevates a person above their physical needs (manna from heaven replaces bread).
The Xtian God is different from other Gods of his time in the ancient world. People are the Xtian Gods' representatives on earth. People serve gods in other religions... they aren't images of him. So to think of God as distant judge punishing his play things isn't the Xtian model. He isn't punishing you for the lulz... you are punishing yourself if you choose to live against the laws of nature. He has you in his love ray beam and you erect the anti ray cloak.
Shit happens. It happens indiscriminately. God chooses to shit equally upon the righteous and the unrighteous. The plan might not suit us, but then we're not privy to the goal.
We accept life in nature as some sadistic shit going down in part, but that being what makes the wheels turn. You can choose to look at nature as oppressive or constructive. I choose to look at it as constructive.
