No. There is no reason to such a belief. In that it's a belief, not knowledge. Even if people try to call belief knowledge.

Here's my thing. Even if he exists as some omnipotent diety, a God of this clearly wretched world, then the proof is simple enough to see: he's a terrible God. Suffering exists, quite a lot of it; therefore, God is either not omnipotent--meaning, not a God; doesn't care about humans; actively hates humans; or doesn't exist. Those are the only reasons which explain the suffering present in the world.

All the emphasis in Christianity is on humanity's sins. But if you ask me, people should be thinking about God's sins.

Truth is, people are scared shitless by the unknown--and the world in general--so it gives them comfort to pretend it all means something greater. You'd think they could come up with a better story, though. Or a better excuse for the suffering which exists, here.

Well. I could go on. But, belief is belief. Worthless to state rational points

@Tatsumi but God gives the suffering so that we can grow. We wouldn't grow without bad things happening to us.
