Fortunately, there is a "Way"! Jesus. It's basically submitting to the, "Will of God". Accepting Him. Trusting Him. Loving Him...and each other.
Most of our problems are caused by us? So when an earthquake happens and kills 300k people in an instant how is it our fault? And how would accepting Jesus helped us? Or when a 3-year-old gets brain cancer how is it our fault?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
