This takes faith and courage

1 Peter 5:6 - 7 NLT

So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.

Where is your God's "power" when those children ask for "His" help, but go hungry every night because their mother/parents spent all the grocery money on drugs?

Where's your God's power when that little girl prays to "Him" every night asking "Him" to not let her father come to her room and have his way with her?

I only present these realities to you because you seem to be claiming "your" god has all the answers, and it's apparent that he doesn't.

I'm sorry, do you mean the children should cope harder?

@calicuz God does not answer every prayer with "Yes". He is not a magic genie, and little children ARE his kingdom, but He does not promise them good parents. He gives us free will...and all the evils of the world occur when humans break God's laws...when they are horrible parents, and don't feed their own children, for example. Or when they perform acts which are an abomination unto the Lord.

God's justice WILL some day be meted out toward the evil ones, and the children who have suffered in their innocence will be folded into His arms on the last day.

I'm sorry my friend, that just isn't good enough for some of us, not when there are those that tout "their" god is so good. There are those of us who see all the shiny cars in the parking lots every Sunday morning so that god they have must be good to those people, but they shouldn't go around claiming "their" god answers all prayers.
This fake god has ruled long enough, and it's time for all of us to find the real "God."
I'm not claiming to have any answers, I now think logically. I think with the mind the "Real God" gave me, the One who created the Universe, the One who has no name.

@calicuz I am sorry, too, that you feel so free to diss God. Diss PEOPLE if you must, but God is NOT fake.

The REAL God, the One who has no name, and who created YOU is the One and only God. He is NOT fake.

The only thing that can be fake in your vision of a very imperfect world, is PEOPLE who claim to know God...but don't.

@4meAndyou

Exactly, thank you for saying that last part.

@calicuz why can't you see these "people" are responsible for their own actions

calicuz · 51-55, M

@Axeroberts

Wait, children are responsible for their own abuse?
