RE: If there is a God, why do so many bad things happen? @ecotrain Question Of The Week
ok, now you ask i will point you to a very special post i wrote not so long ago.. I think i managed to explain it well there!
First and foremost, what you've provided is a beautiful piece of text. I am so far inclined to agree, to some extent, with a lot of what is touched upon. Especially, "When we attach too much importance to the results of our actions, we limit ourselves and also effect the nature and quality of our actions." Key part being too much. But that in and of itself is a powerful statement, and one I would argue true.
I do, however, have a bone to pick, so to say. A lot of what is translated to meaning stems from the presumption of God. That becomes a can of loose worms when considering the original question at hand: "If there is a God, why do so many bad things happen?"
In which case, I would ask what exactly is God?
Cheers for the consistent replies, @eco-alex. This discussion has given me plenty of food for thought and, in some sense, allowed the freedom to think.
Thank lorvain!
Your right this question assumes god exists to answer it! Im so. Sneeky ;) thank you for reading and great comments!
