Do you think we are wishful thinking, in a God?

Sometimes in life Ill think, Im lucky to be alive. Theres times on the road a speeding car alnost creamed me, and just life in general I think, maybe someone is watching over me. But then I think of my aunt, who recently had a rare disorder that caused oxygen to be deprived, rashes. It would eat her own immune system they told her, and it did. One day, only having it a couple months, she said, I dont want to die. 😟 A month later, she passed from that horrible disease. Why wasnt anyone watching out? Was it truly just her time, at only 57??
And you hear of little kids...recently a boy kept a knife under his pillows because his mom was violent. Thinking ahead at a young age for protection. And then, his mother took the knife, and literally stabbed him in the back, and he died. An innocent little being. Was there someone watching over him????? 😢 While I do believe there must be some higher power and am astoundingly grateful for life, Its hard wondering theres a being watching us or that loves us etc, when you think of those examples.

how is extreme horror or pain , disease etc

It is extreme and painful. Although I suspect that you just got sloppy and didn't ask the question you meant to ask.

God never promised smooth sailing to anyone. The Bible actually makes it quite clear that faith in Jesus Christ does not guarantee a good life, but a perfect eternity.

@Budwick No I got real...I had faith in God years, many. It doesnt make sense, to create human beings, to have a life, but then only say perhaps if you love me, you can see if you can be happy when you die...Ill just allow chaos and confusion and suffering on earth.

And, now you don't.
I think you didn't understand or appreciate the teachings of the Bible then,
and even less so now.

I'm not sure slamming faith and God is the way to achieve your goal.

@Budwick well put dude . You have some really good insight . I’d love to read more comments from you like this and less about politics .

@AthrillatheHunt Thanks.
I admit my attention is drawn heavily toward saving my country.
Maybe saving souls should be tended to as well.

@Coralmist Everyone has questions Coral.
Even more so in troubled times.
I am suggesting that you bring your burdens to Jesus instead of Similar Worlds.
Best of luck to you.
