Because the universe is a cold, uncaring place. It is up to us humans - the only known beings with anything resembling a sense of justice - to make sure that bad things don't happen to good people.

What is this god you speak of? My "prayers" only mean one thing - that I'm fervently hoping that forces beyond my control or knowledge would somehow end in something desirable to me. Praying is something I would do to comfort myself - I wouldn't expect it to actually accomplish anything.

isn't he a god of love?"
His "love" is that of an abusive parent. All the pain and suffering he heaps of you is your own damn fault. You make him do it. But he still loves you.
Just kidding. In a world without any protective deity, hardships are something you should expect. But we've come a long way to make things better for ourselves.

Such things tend to happen when people listen to ramblings of madmen.

What about it?

MIA. As he is in all other situations.

That'd explain the perpetual stick up his ass.

Other than that they can kill you for disagreeing - nothing.
