[i]Is God willing to prevent evil but not able ?[/i]
[i]Then he is not omnipotent.[/i]
[i]Is he able but not willing ?[/i]
[i]Then he is malevolent ![/i]
[i]Is he both willing and able ?[/i]
[i]Then whence cometh evil ?[/i]
[i]Is he neither willing nor able ?[/i]
[i]Then why call him God ?[/i]

God not only said He loves you....He proved it, by dying on the cross, to pay for your sins. Does that sound like someone who hates you, or is out to get you? That they would go through such excruciating pain to save you from the condemnation sin put on you and us all? There's so much suffering in the world, because man is sinful.

There are two sides to man. Physical and spiritual. Neither must be ignored. When our spiritual side has been ignored, it leaves a "void" in our Spirit, which longs to fellowship with God, who made us. If not, our spirit feels empty, alone, unhappy and neglected, being separated from God, because of sin. Sin always keeps us separated from God, until we ask Jesus to forgive us of our sins, and He does, which allows God's Spirit to unite with our Spirit, to make us a whole new person and complete, joyful, peaceful, and filled with the Holy Spirit which transforms us and guides us.

God doesn't exist. Humans are responsible for suffering.

@SW-User He must do as "god" is just a figment of some people's imagination, it doesn't exist in reality.

One guy I used to work with said "Poor old God gets the blame for everything when it's Satan we should blame for it". I'm not saying that's what I believe, just what someone else said to me years ago. Your thoughts?

Well, isn’t Satan a creation of God? @NankerPhelge

@offingg I thought he was supposed to be God's opposition. If I was religious I'd definitely say that.
Well from a theological point of view, this world isn’t the world god planned for us and is the result of human emotions of greed and ego influenced by the devil starting from the garden of eden.
@Insomniac100 God quite clearly refers to satan as "the god of this world". That is the dynamic.
We are actually supposed to take better care of each other. It's not God's fault, it's mine. I'm personally culpable in that I hate around half the world. Especially in the western hemisphere. I hate 46% of the western hemisphere, but I rounded off.
