The suffering in the world isn't caused by God or any other being but ourselves.

Most suffering is caused by war, war caused by pride, selfish interest and religious bias. Every day, people die, become homeless or displaced, children becomes orphans all because of decisions made by leaders.

As sad as it sounds, some of the diseases people suffer today are even made by man. If you didn't know it, now you do. Wealthy people fund scientists to produce new diseases so that they can benefit from the drugs they sell to the infected making people suffer.

Now from all these things I've said, do you think God should be blamed for the suffering in this world ?.

Sort:  

It's kind of convenient to praise God when good things happen(despite all the effort and work humans put it), but then turn around and absolve God of all blame when bad things happen don't you think?

I understand that God isn't bad, but why does He let bad things happen? You honestly can't say every time something went wrong it was the victims' fault(sin).
That would be absolving the rapists, murderers and other criminals of their guilt.

I wish God would be a lil more active in redeeming and helping His children. There's too much suffering in the world.

Yes you wish, we all do. Sometime ago I read a post that says God isn't responsible for the suffering we go through but he allows them happen for a reason best known to him, we as humans can only wonder about it but in the end will God really allow bad things happen just to make us feel pain?? No. me personally i feel God's reasons for allowing bad things happen don't not only have the negative side but positive side as well....it's more like saying if those things didn't happen it would have caused more harm than good to us in the future.
