I remember the first two weeks of basic training. Everybody got shat upon, we were treated unfairly, blamed for things we didn't do, run ragged, everybody was punished for the mistake of one, etc., etc. They treated us like that on purpose, they wanted to see how we handled it. Some folks took it, continued to do the best they could, helped others that were having trouble and soldiered on. Others bitched and complained and blamed everybody else. After a while, they let up on the first group but came down even harder on the second.

I think life is a lot like that. The problems aren't there to be solved, they are there for a reason. Someone just wants to see if we - each person individually - can rise above them.

let's talk about the system, ok?




Because it doesn't work that way. The world and the humans are in a fallen state. The pathway for us is through Christ to elevate us from our own fallen state. The Earf and all in it is temporary and is going to pass away eventually. We are required to try and do our part to try and make it a better place. The fact that we fail miserably at it proves that without God we aren't schitt and that His plan is going to fall into place at His choosing. For Him to interfere and try to fix our failure would also violate the free-will thing that we have.

No, I did not.

I pointed out that Gus's question rests upon an unproven presupposition. Perhaps you also noticed I referred to a general god, not your specific God.

If Gus wants an answer to why no god seems to be looking out for us, his first question should be does one exist, and if so, which one or ones?

The left has spent trillions of dollars and murdered millions of people( believers in communist countries) in an attempt to disprove the existence of God. Remember the billions spent on the particle accelerator in Switzerland which was supposed to prove or disprove the existence of God. How did that work out ?

Gus, in a very small nutshell, because we wouldn't learn anything. Real answer.

The scientist operating the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) were not on a quest to prove, or disprove the existence of any specific god, but, among other things, the existence of The Higgs Boson, which they succeeded in doing.

The Higgs related experiments at the LHC, worked out very well.

God does have a solution to the world's problems and it will come but most people are NOT going to like it. The world is how it is because of man's sin. God will bring back a sinless world, peopled by those who believe in him. The rest will fall deeper into depravity until God destroys it all.

God gave us free will and over time that free will lead to bad deeds and greed. There’s much good in the world but there seems to be more bad as time goes on. There will be a forced realignment (a reckoning) with good Ultimately winning out.imho

Absolutely. It is playing out exactly as prescribed.

Because so many of the problems have been created in his name?
