Damask- I wonder how you steep so low as a Pathetic girl, You were so nice. But, Now you always gotta be right no matter what you do.

So God is unable to stop bad things from happening to good people? This is why I say that in the Judeo-Christian religions, Satan is stronger. You just said yourself that God can't stop him. And an all knowing, all loving, all powerful being could and would stop him.

Animephan, piss off. People hate you more than her. I don't even see a redeeming quality in you. You're rude, arrogant, snotty, smug, and condescending.

Bob- Those are all my bad side qualities. I'm not always that way.
-
God CAN stop them, but he instead have us free will.
AP I'm sorry that expressing my opinion on the topic is being pathetic -

Damask- It's just that. You were nice, But. Nevermind.

bananabread NoviceQuestion A: Did you call me a dude?
Question B: So you are blaming my father's death on me, who at the time was a ten year old girl who had done nothing wrong. Not only me but my two sister who also had done nothing obscenely wrong as well as my mother. Just because we don't believe with God and we've done nothing wrong?
*Advice: answer carefully or I may just blow up on you* -
Aye yi yi. So where we at now?

"All evil is just a lack of God". Ok, so this God that supposedly loves all of us allows bad things to happen to us simply because we aren't worshipping him? I believe we have uncovered the great contradiction of Christianity: God loves you, but he'll f--- your s--- up if you don't love him back.
Yes, Pat (the son) made his own bed. But Michelle (his mother) has done nothing to deserve the pain caused by this tragedy, or by the years of drug abuse that led up to it.
PS I do believe in karma, maybe not in the supernatural form, but you get out what you put in to life. That's just a fact. -
OMG you did not just do the "I'm not a dude; I'm a dudett" thing, did you?
God gives us free will. Unless of course you are a follower of him; then he will bless you with things when you ask for them (I'm not referring to only physical objects obviously). Now I know you're going to say "okay so he blesses those who follow him but lets everyone else go through s--- just because they don't worship him?". Sort of.
When you follow God, you are asking for his help and guidance in life. Therefore he will do so and bless you with things.
But when you are not a follower of God, you obviously don't want his guidance in life, so he doesn't give it to you. After all, that's what you chose. And without his guidance some real s--- can happen to you.
Yes, bad things happen to good people, but there are a couple different reasons.
Example 1: disease. It was simply the person's time to come to Heaven.
Example 2: family member dying due to drugs. It was the family member's fault for taking the drugs; they let that form of evil into their life and now both them and everyone who loved them have to suffer because of his wrong choice.
I know I'm going to get answers like "well why didn't God stop his addiction?". Believe it or not, if the member would've asked (and truly meant it) God could've stopped his addiction. I have a story: when my mother was...actually I'm not sure but I think about 17, she had a 1-year old little boy and she smoked. It was really really hard for her to take care of the baby and leave the baby alone to go and smoke at the same time. She would have to run back and forth. Not to mention how crappy smoking made her feel (ick!). So she was like "Lord, please help me to stop smoking. Please just take the urge away. I can't do this." She woke up the next morning without even the slightest urge. She hasn't smoked since.
That was a little off topic but I just thought I should share.
Anyway......
@banana --- I don't recall saying anything like that. I need to look back at what you wrote. Just a sec..... -
Oh, I see. I never said it was your fault. It is in no way your fault!
First of all, I'm very sorry.
What caused him to pass? -
Oh and as for karma ---
I believe that if you are nice to someone they will be nice back (for the most part) and you know simple things like that, like if you respect people you will be respected.
But that's not really karma.
I believe that God has a plan for each and every one of us and that he has planned what is going to happen in our lives.
I don't believe in karma though. -
but bad things happen to christians as well...

He died of a sudden heart attack, late in the night. Thank you for explaining that in a very cautious way.
