If God exist, why do so many bad things happen?
@ecoTrain question of the week
First, Is there God?
Is He even a God?
How does God look like?
Is God a Man or a woman?
Questions, questions, questions and questions!
However
Yes! I think and believe there is a Super natural being called God and I will not use the Bible nor any book to justify Him but rather use science to justify God by asking the questions like:
“Who or what created the atom or the Universe?” I guess it’s not the Big Bang or the Nebular hypothesis coz if you say it’s any of them then I will ask you what caused any of these events and I will keep on questioning the origin of your scientific origin until you get lost like science has gotten lost in search for answers of the origin and is more focused on the future which is still a nightmare for them. I think NOW is the most important thing of our lives!
Since science has not been able to give concrete answers about the origin of everything, I think it’s best to believe it’s a mystery and to me, God is a mystery and that’s why I believe in him because he is a mystery.
One thing I know is that God in his wisdom gave man the wisdom to make wise choices to make the world a better place and this has taken me to one of my strongest convictions that we are God and Heaven is here on Earth.
However, it’s unfortunate that man out of his greed for wealth, power, food and everything has changed everything and this takes me to the question “If there is God, why do so many bad things still happen?”
If there is God, why do so many bad things happen?
GREED GREED GREED!
Yes, Greed is the answer to why bad things happen in the world today. I do not know how to explain this but I will try to.
Let’s begin with Greed in Religion. If you deeply look at Religion and question the unquestionable then you will realize that religion is a tool that is fueling greed in many forms.
I ask questions like “if religion truly preaches love and unity, why can’t Muslims, Jews, Hindus and Christians unite and form one universal church that has just people?”
“Why are Pastors, Priests, Imams living very wealthy and healthy lives amidst their poor followers?”
I guess you know where I am driving to because Greed is the one reason why there is soo much evil in the world.
Do I need to talk about Greed in politics?
Seriously, Greed is the author of jealousy, hatred, poverty, wars, and all the bad things that are happening in the world.
Greed is the devil in us.
Greed is the satan in us and in as much as we are the goodness of the world, we are also the evil of the world and that’s why I think satan is here on Earth and of course hell is here on Earth.
In all, I believe there is God and I think we have the choice to chose to be evil or to be good and it’s our choices that determine whether goodness or evil will prevail.
Man is God and Man is the devil. Are you God or the Devil?
Green greetings,
I think this is my last question of the week that i will answer as @thegreens. I have decided to start blogging our organizational issues at @thegreens and will henceforth blog about my life, eco-actions, ecotrain question of the week and environmental issues via my personal account @dukefranky.
To begin, i will be sharing my thoughts about what it means to be happy as per @ecotrain's last week question of the week via my @dukefranky account later today!
I look forward to keep reading your inspiring blogs and sharing with you updates from @thegreens and @dukefranky regularly.
The whole question has indeed been answered, it all boils down to choice. Deciding to do whats right even inspite of knowing the ramifications. So yes, its choice.
Thanks for stopping bye and its important we make choices that can inspire and make the world a better place like you said.
Fantastic response! Totally see it similarly, that heaven and hell are here right now and it’s up to us to create one or the other 👏🏼✨❤️
Straight up and we really need to push strong to make Earth heaven
I like the way you explained what or who god is for you. Are we god or are we devil? Great one! I think we are both at times, at least I am. I have certain beliefs that I will live by, like do no harm onto others, don't steal etc. straight from the bible...even though I never needed a bible to tell me the right from wrong. I was always in me. But even though they are beliefs I try to live by, I also know that the devil in me might turn away from those beliefs if my family is unsafe for some reason. If my children would ever be in danger, I could and would steal, lie or even kill to keep them safe...if I had to. So I think that's the part devil that always lives in me.
I also agree that greed is the true evil. And it's visible in nearly all religions. That and the hunger for power. I was always wondering the same: why preach love and peace if you are willing to wage war to bring religion? It's nuts. And it's definitely something that comes from the materialistic world we live in. You wouldn't have seen the Aztecs go around to neighbouring places and tell the people that they should follow their religion or gods. That they are wrong and need 'redemption' for their sins? No, this only came around the same time when money and worldly possessions became more important than anything else.
It's wonderful to see like-minded people from all parts of the world here and share their ideas. It keeps reminding me how much Steemit can be a game changer for us all.
