Christians say that God gives us hardships, pain, and sufferings to be "testings of our faith in Him." Also, they claim that God loves everyone so much that he sent His son to die for our sins and then be resurrected into heaven three days later.
We all know that story.
Yet, I look at this world, where suffering is inescapeable and pain is reoccurring, and thoughts deep inside me begin to wonder if a loving God, or even a God at all, does in fact exist.
When you think about it, and I mean really think about it, the idea that a loving God exists becomes harder and harder to believe. Once you realize that every day children are starving to death, people are losing their jobs, innocent people are being kidnapped, raped, or murdered, and that natural disasters are robbing people of their loved ones or even their own lives, the statement that God is a loving and just God seems pretty fallable.
If a God does in fact exist, then he isn't a very nice one.
Try and convince me otherwise.
[As I told you in a previous post, I consider myself to be a non-religious person with some dabbling interests in Neo-Paganism and Wiccan]
