I'd make the world realise what a lazy stance the "if there's a god why does he let bad things happen?" argument is.

Why is it God responsibility to change it ?

It is us that change it because it is humans that are screwing it up not god.

I believe in god but i believe god is their to give me strength to face life challanges. God wont do anything for me. I have to do it myself, but having his strength will guide me

It is not a lazy argument. Try to argue it with someone and you will see how bottomless the point is.

Our top priority for change would focus on helping to restore the health of the planet - achieving this change benefits everything upon it in the longer term.

Many other things to do too.

Evil is subjective - what I may consider evil or immoral, others consider acceptable behaviour. Higher standards should apply for those who wield greater power and potentially huge levels of catastrophic harm. I'm reasonably certain that there is no god.

"What would you change about the world if you could ? If you believe in a god why hasn't that god changed it. "

If I could change anything about this world , it would be to eradicate man's inhumanity to man.

I am agnostic - however, those that do believe , maintain that God gave people free will. Good and evil reside in the hands of the people.

Evil thrives in the right enviroments. Especially environments lacking love, oppertunity and positive role models. Often its a cycle. If I could change something it would be be more love, more education and a more level playing field for all.

As to God simply you have to find some reason to understand why your chosen God would allow such things. I would say its hard to believe in inteligent design and then say your god is seriourly flawed. So a justification is needed. In the Christian faith alone there are many different opinions why. Some would say it's because God gave us free will, so may say it's a result of God's disapproval etc, etc.

Biblically speaking, God created man and woman and let them live in the Garden of Eden, paradise basically, on the condition that they didn't eat from the Tree of Knowledge. After eating the apple they became aware of the suffering, hardship and pain (inc childbirth) of the world outside Eden. God expelled them from Eden.

Basically by eating the fruit humans chose to have free will to make their own choices and accepted the harshness of life. Free will also means that the future is not written and we have control over our own destinies so to speak.

And there's the problems we face .

We are given choice and free will , and inevitably we make poor choices and our will is driven by greed , power and evil .

"Evil" is simply a term that was created by humans and is subjective to each person.

It is been proven that each and every human being has the ability to be "evil" or commit acts that would be seen as "evil"

What is "evil" to some may be justifiable to others.

Personally I think some things happen and as horrible as it is there's no stopping humans from committing such acts no matter what things you remove. Unless you remove the human race that is...

'God' did not make the parents of 'innocent' children live next to a live volcano, nor did 'God' infect the children with disease or famine (which could also be argued to be the fault of the parent to some degree). 'God' gave life in all its glory. Just because 'God' can exist does not mean evolution and science can not.

It's about taking responsibility for your own actions not blaming the devil, or whatever other form he takes in the countless other works of fiction out there.

I never said I believed in 'God'. However, in order to answer your question as to why God allows the death of children we have to assume 'God' is real.

Seriously? If an omnipotent and omnipresent entity that had reality altering powers existed, we wouldn't be aware of it because it has already happened (unless a glitch in the matrix occurs)

Also, without evil there is no perception of what is truly good. If you are this almighty being, do you do away with the possibility of any misfortune occurring at all?

""Evil" is simply a term that was created by humans and is subjective to each person.

It is been proven that each and every human being has the ability to be "evil" or commit acts that would be seen as "evil"

What is "evil" to some may be justifiable to others.

Personally I think some things happen and as horrible as it is there's no stopping humans from committing such acts no matter what things you remove. Unless you remove the human race that is...

~Miaexclude human acts. Now let's talk about mass destruction of children by volcanoes or earthquakes or disease or famine. "

I don't think you can class acts of nature as something that can be defined as evil.

It's just something that happens.

It is unfortunate but you can't define natural acts as evil as it isn't done deliberately unlike human acts

"What would you change about the world if you could ? If you believe in a god why hasn't that god changed it.

I'd make the world realise what a lazy stance the "if there's a god why does he let bad things happen?" argument is. "

No one likes to take responsibility. ..We blame everyone else because....of course they are responsible but never me..... So god why did YOU let it happen if you exist?

There must be no god because he/she (gender neutral) has let evil happen as of course they are responsible and not me or us.

Argument :- there is no god because I can't take any responsibility for the shit that happens here.

You cant legislate against the intent to perpetuate criminal behaviour and you cant prevent oppertunity by increasing defences in vulnerable locations .....

Again suffering is subjective. What one human views as "suffering" another may view as normal.

Suffering happens to every species and they adapt and evolve around said problem.

And suffering must continue to exist so that evolution and intelligence is still able to continue and to grow and change.

Bits and bobs of talk about God on here. I have no idea if God exists or not (but I tend to doubt it). However, for anyone that does believe, then you must surely know that there is also the Devil.

In addition, contrary to what the lefty tree huggers think, good does not far outweigh evil. All evidence points to it being a very fine balance - and we all hope good finally wins, of course.

That's one of the current problems - the lefties keep preaching this "one love" nonsense. The evil ones simply laugh. You are converting nobody nor standing up to nobody.

Time has come for good to FIGHT evil - end of.

"I would take hatred jelaousy and anger away. "

How does one know love peace contentment with out experience and knowledge of the opposite?

I once asked someone from Romania many many years ago to describe freedom. They said they did not know as everything was done for them... choice had been removed. They really struggled to live and fit here because they couldn't comprehend that they had a choice on everything and they hadn't learnt to make choices and learn from those choices.

It's a nice idea to remove those things...but ultimately it only works by showing the better option, hoping we have shown them so convincingly that they then hopefully choose appropriately.

The best quote I know on this subject is simply this by Edmund Burke :-

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

People need to think long and hard about that because it is profoundly true - and, by and large, what we as a nation have been doing for decades now about the fundamentalist evil - basically nothing. Just listen to the kow towing lefties and you will understand what I mean.

If Corbyn gets in - Lord help us.
