Why God allows suffering
#3
RE: Why God allows suffering
Suffering exists exactly as it would if life had no guide or creator. It is nothing like if there was an omnipotent, omniscient, benevolent creature guiding everything. Suffering is completely uncaring about what happens or to whom. It's because no one is sitting at a safe distance, twiddling his thumbs until the day that he can reward the few and punish the majority. A benevolent creature would never be so uncaring. But a lack of any supreme being explains suffering perfectly.
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”
- Buddha
"Anyone wanting to believe Jesus lived and walked as a real live human being must do so despite the evidence, not because of it."
- Dennis McKinsey
