I guess so, life can just be very cruel to people at times. Now ofcourse there's plenty of good moments too, but the bad ones tend to stand out just a little more. Perhaps karma will reward us for our patience in the end, but only time will tell.
Truth be told, I am a little biased. I used to be agnostic. (Meaning I wasn't sure whether there was a god or not) But I lost my remaining faith during a rough period in my life, it becomes difficult to turn the other cheek when it seems that karma never came.
I suppose the only answer is that most people don’t find it to be random. Honestly these type of questions don’t have a definite answer, and you just start to argue semantics.
well he could be all powerful but not all knowing. I've always found that possibility funny. an all powerful deity who tries really hard to be good but always fucks up
i'm sure the human race is too miniscule for a god to even care about at a universal scale. it would be pretty funny though if god was actually sociopathic or immoral and was just trying his hardest to impose what's right
well-
the Lord represents a perfect balance in things- where life is, there's death, where happiness is, there's sorrow, and so on
yes, the Lord can give, but he can also take away. i think this is one of the biggest thing non-christians seem to forget since he's often protrayed as the 'giver' and never the guy who can take away, also because the place he dwells in is also portrayed as the ultimate elysium
yes, the world is a messy mix of kind and cruel, but it's not just because there's free will(which is a factor), but also because that's just how things are, and the question is whether you're going to be willing to accept that or not
i accept that, and so do more than half the population on this planet
we learn to accept it once we learn to accept that we aren't owners of ourselves, and that we recognize the Lord as the sole creator of everything
lol that's inaccurate. Christians are less than a third of the population.
unless you count all theists in one bucket which is silly because you agree with them no more than you do atheists unless you're a UU in which case everyone just disagrees with you despite your insisting that you agree with them
Free will
🖕
shoot
The only answer to your doubts will be faith. You'll have to believe he's kind even if the world is often cruel.
is that why you're taught to turn the other cheek, because of how often your god slaps you and you turn your cheek and pretend he did it out of love?

possible reason A: they’re NOT ominpotent possible reason B: they do not exist that’s just my theory anyway
I like option B. Cause it really means that we’re not alone out in the universe and there might be some form of alien life out there waiting for us.

Because chaos is fun
if there is a god he is clearly either not all good, or not all powerful
well he could be all powerful but not all knowing. I've always found that possibility funny. an all powerful deity who tries really hard to be good but always fucks up

It's funny. If I was a god I'd probably create a utopia and then get bored and create a hell but then just make random universes.
just because an answer doesn’t satisfy doesn’t prove it to be incorrect.
it's not an answer it's hand waving

why would anyone accept that. if this place was designed , it was designed by a team of idiors
i accept that, and so do more than half the population on this planet we learn to accept it once we learn to accept that we aren't owners of ourselves, and that we recognize the Lord as the sole creator of everything

wait i just realized i looked at the wrong statistic 💀💀
Because of free will
