Because God doesn't exist. And everyone suffers sometimes, it's part of life!

no, man is bothered with the future God has set out for them not the other way around. God already knows what our future is. So there is no need to be worried, and he knows how it turns out. So it would be pointless to worry about it, although man is constantly worried about his future.

And herein you hit upon one of the biggest problems with religion. The idea that god is all knowing, all powerful etc, but also it matters what humans do. Why does anyone need to pray if a god knows they will do it - surely the god can decide to perform whatever action the prayer would have solicited without the need to actually hear the prayer - as you say, the god knows it's coming.\n\nThe idea that "god exists out of time" is an answer so devoid of meaning that it beggars belief.\n\nAlthough an Atheist myself, I'm not sure if your subtitle to this message (about "stupid Christian") really helps, even if it is meant ironically - it's unlikely to tease out the most interesting responses.

God may want something although logically wants exist only when one is himself not able to obtain it immediately based on his existing means which of course rules out God wanting anything. The bigger question is why we assume to know what God wants and then try to force others into following that. Our behavior is based on the laws of nature like survival, compassion , cooperation (which again are need for survival) and since they help us exist we assume this is what God wants. Actually this is what we want and correctly want. Hence those who don't follow these ideals are the misfits and threat to human society like murderers, arsonists etc. So its biology , evolution and our interpretation of these. And this capability to interpret is perhaps what God wanted and he got it done (although not quite efficiently it seems from humanity's destructive tendencies).

God answers prayers. He loves his creation, and cares for them so much. We can pray for help with a certain problem, and he may answer our prayer...but what if it seems our prayer doesn't get answered?\n\nWe have to be open to the thought that God might answer our prayer in a different way than we thought.\n\nPaul dealt with a 'thorn in the flesh' his whole life. He prayed to have it removed, but that never happened. God DID help Paul to deal with his problem. God has perfect wisdom, so he knows best when it comes to our problems. Sometimes, our problems may not go away, and we have to endure through them. But as you will see if you look up the scriptures below, the right attitude can help us deal with whatever trials we may have to deal with while we patiently wait on God.\nRomans 5:3-5\nJames 1:2-4\nHebrews 12:11\n*1 Corinthians 10:13

So that we know about Gods existence and the beautiful things that He has made.\nWhat would God do in a lonely world.. so He simply blew life in it.

God works in mysterious ways. It is not for us to understand God's work. We must have faith that He is all knowing and His actions should never be questioned.Our feeble minds could never comprehend Gods love for us.

My Dads sermon last night was about how prayer changes things.The fact that you have asked for prayer shows that you believe that God is able to answer those prayers.Hold on to that faith,God is very concerned about you.Keep looking past the problem and to the solution.God is the solution.My heart goes out to you.Jesus is the answer.

One of the things that my Pastor always says is that the creation tells man that God exists and that man has a obligation to look for God also.  I think God is sayin that they don't have an excuse cause he made the things so they would know.    \nRomans  1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

I believe that God does know the future. As for why He does things, we may not understand them. But, they are all within His plan.

People try to rationalize things in thier own minds, to suit themselves.  They try to make GOD in the image that "they want", instead of conforming to GOD'S way of life.\n\nIt doesnt work...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

I have often wondered why God "lets" things happen.  However, I've thought a lot about it and God doesn't let things happen.  He cannot intervene in our lives other than to give us strength when we need it, along with a host of other virtues to help us through our rough times.  God laid down the law many years ago and stated how things would be and how they would get.  He gave us freewill to make our choices.  God does not make people do bad things, people make choices, good or bad.  He cannot give evidence that he exists.  You have to believe on faith alone, which is why he cannot interfer.  People are people, we sin, and that is why the world is the way it is.  If you believe biblical prophecy, then he will return and take the saints and leave the sinners.

why not just be happy?\nBecause problems always come and never end. Eventhough you have home,meal and clothes. The richest man and the poorest man , both have troubles too.\nso , why not just be happy dealing with our problem?

God is not a genie, that he would appear to us and grant us our wishes, we should be asking him "What Can I Do For You Lord" I believe that is one of our biggest problems we are so worried about what we want that we tend to forget what He wants. But IF God were to ask me What Wish I had, that is that we would ALL Know Him, so their would be no more killing in the name of God
