Who's God did this?!?

Frodo is correct in what he has stated, you all want to see God in a bad light and so you do. God does love us all equally but that doesn't mean everyone gets the same life or the same breaks in life. It doesn't work that way. Let's look at it this way, a family with several children in it, some are physically fit a few have slight physical defects and a couple have bad physical defects. The parents have the means to get help for two with the bad defects and they do ( good parents ). What about the ones with slight defects, the parents get them help because the children complain they were not treated equally (good parents ). Now the ones who have no defects feel left out and want something done for their looks and the parents do so (good parents). Now all the children that had physical defects feel that they deserve to have more surgery to bring them to the standard of the ones who had no defects and on and on this goes and the parents do not know how to stop this maddening cycle and give up (bad parents). So whats the answer, all the children wanted to be treated equally and the loving parents wanted to give them what they wanted yet the result was unsatisfied childern. Where does this kind of attitude end, with all the children mad at mom and dad. This is the human condition, we will never be satisfied unless we love the One in control unconditionally.

Two things....
No. 1 - those hypothetical parents do not have supernatural powers that run out with one or two people. According to you, your god is everywhere and omnipotent - Therefore comparing a set of parents with money problems to your omnipotent god is just a poor comparison.
No. 2 - You still won't answer the question. Not a huge surprise, most christians wont because they cannot.
Here it is yet again: (a simple yes or no... give it a try)

Since you believe your god knows all and controls all things - Do you believe that your god is willfully allowing those people a lifetime of suffering for some unknowable plan of his making?

First thing to get out of the way I said the parents have all the means to give their children what they wanted. Second thing the (good parent, bad parent) part was sarcasim. Third thing I did answer your question, just not in the way you believe I should have and since it is my answer I get to do it my way. Let me make this simple for you, God wants to be loved by us not used for our own petty little things we feel are important. Yes I know these people are suffering and if I were in their shoes I would want relief too. However if it did not come I would trust God for my future and the reason I would trust Him is because He is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and loving beyond your ability to understand.

Now to give you an answer in the form you want it NO! Is that plain enough for you. They are suffering because of sin and not their own but because sin exist period. You would call it evolution and because you do not believe in God then you must blame evolution for their fate. So where is their hope at, in people, people seem to give them a wide birth (lots of love there), so where is their hope, does it lie with all those people that make jokes about them and tease them and say cruel things about them, where is their hope, does it lie with you. What are you doing to help these people you so lovingly refer to as poor bastards.

This paragraph doesn even come close to the topic, much less a theodicy. The topic is "Who's god did this". In order for this paragraph to even come CLOSE to the topic, the parents would have KNOWINGLY had to have created the children with these physical defects. So you believe your god only has enough cash to deal with certain ones who are bad off, and the others he has no cash or power to help fix. And then, eventually, your god does not know how to stop the maddening cycle and then he just gives up?

Hey, that was your comparison. Apparently your solution to the problem of evil is to claim that your god is NOT all powerful, and is therefore helpless in the face of such overwhelming malevolence. He might be able to help some people some time, but according to you, your god is not all powerful and is overwhelmed by the maddening cycle of disease and hate, so therefore gave up.

Doesnt sound like a benevolent god to me. Sounds like you worship a faulty human, who breaks under pressure and is unable to handle his own creation.---and you wonder why we are not interested in converting to your beliefs.

In your paragraph, you also make a very common, and very WRONG mistake when discussion of god come up. You are trying to compare an all knowing, all powerful god to mortal people. Can those parents easily snap their fingers and cure every physical defect of their children? No. Would they if they could? Well, if they could but chose not to, that would make them sons-of-bitches in my eyes. Something tells me you would agree with that.

...NOW....

Insert a god into the mix. This god can snap his fingers and get everything he wants. God could easily snap his finger to cure all four of those children, but he doesnt. A benevolent person, and most especially a benevolent god, would not think twice about curing all 4 of those children, no questions asked. God does not cure those children. ANY of them. Which leads to the obvious conclusion that your god is NOT benevolent at least.. and maybe, just maybe, doesnt give a fuck.

..and you worship that careless prick.

I worship a God who is loving and I understand how His love works within this world which gives me the ability and desire to worship Him. You on the other hand and that goes for Nepo and Thor have no idea of Gods love or who He is so it only make sence that you believe the way you do and that is sad.
