God, our creator (made in his image) is love and wants to share His love with all of us. God allows each of us to chose the path that we follow - either good or bad. He wants us to return that love, but does not force us.

If we trust God, He will lead us down the right path. We may face struggles and suffering, but will eventually lead us to happiness knowing God in Heaven. Otherwise, we will continually look for answers and not be satisfied.

God created nature and allows the sun to shine and the rain to fall on the good and the evil. We can appreciate all that God has provided us and thank him or ignore God. God wants us to be righteous and love Him. And he tests us to show our true selves.

Satan is also active in tempting us with empty promises to do evil like he did to Adam and Eve.

I agree. But there is an atheism (point out by Walter Kasper — a Catholic theologian) that thinks nature doesn’t change — things will be the way they are — so it’s pointless to believe in God. I think many people fall for it.
