I am a better person than God!

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I asked a pastor once why god lets thousands and thousands of kids under 5 die everyday from malnutrition , he said that we have to believe that it is all for the greater good and our ways are not his ways.    

We had what seemed to be the whole town praying for a boy that was getting a heart transplant,  and he got the heart.  Died from complications 3 days after the surgery,  his body rejected the new one.  

I've seen enough of gods moral virtue.  The christian one anyway.

You should be asking yourself why you an the rest of humanity allows these children to die, there is enough food in this world to feed everyone, yet nothing is being done about it. Why? Could it have to do with love of money, love of self, I'm just one person what can I do, space travel that will not help the starving children, wasted money on fancy cars, homes and clothing, feeding our fat bellies till we complain we've eaten to much, shall I go one I'm sure there are at least a 1000 more reasons man cares so little. The pastor should have answered you like this, God has put us here to help those in need, we are the physical hands and feet of God, we are to go and do for others, give of ourselves. Now I'm sure that many atheist here will respond for different reasons but none will admit it is our (human race) responsibility to give up all the stuff we think we deserve to help those who are in need. God help us all!

Of COURSE human beings bear the responsibility for human suffering - there is simply no one else to blame it on.

But if you live in a haze-filled Godism, it is incumbent upon you to determine why children get bone cancer, harlequin foetus syndrome, and 1000 other fatal or debilitating birth defects when God could simply have made those impossible.  Or - in the case of children dying from malnutrition or preventable diseases - it is YOUR job to explain why God couldn't at least ameliorate this by making people less greedy and more giving.

In a universe with an all powerful, all knowing and all merciful God, EVERYTHING has to be laid at God's door, any other position is simply ludicrous nonsense.  In a universe without such a God (and ONLY in such a universe) we have only ourselves to blame.
