Oh... I get it... You're angry at God! That makes more sense to me. Been there, done that. He never said that we wouldn't suffer, David. He did say that He would help us through our trials...IF we trust Him to. If you think that life is tough.... Hell is HELL...and it's forever!
God never condemned us to a lifetime of suffering....we do that to ourselves. He sent His Son so that we might have LIFE.. and have it in abundance.... the good with the bad.... the rejoicing and the sorrow. Many dark times in my life.... I wondered "why".... and didn't find out until later, that had I not been put in that situation....I'd have never met certain individuals to touch/help them, or vice-versa. It's not just about ME and how happy "I" can be! (What a concept in today's society, eh?) We have a real purpose in being here and serving Him, but we can choose our own way.... and choose to suffer the consequences.
James 1
2 Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy.
3 For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.
5 If you need wisdom--if you want to know what God wants you to do--ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking.
6 But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
7 People like that should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8They can't make up their minds. They waver back and forth in everything they do.
Now I have got some sarcasm out of my system, I will respond on a more even keel. The reason I no longer believe that God exists is because of a logical contradiction. It is as follows: 1.) The Bible says that God is good.
2.) The Bible says that many people will go to Hell, a place of eternal suffering.
3.) God made this place of eternal suffering.
4.) Good beings do not allow others to suffer eternally if they can prevent it.
5.) God could have prevented it by not doing 3.
6.) Therefore, God cannot be good.
7.) As the Bible says God is good yet God cannot be good from what the Bible says about Hell, the Bible cannot be true.
8.) If the Bible is not true, Christianity is a false religion.
9.) Therefore, Christianity is a false religion.
You have to dump hell to keep God good. But if you dump Hell, the whole reason to believe in God goes with it. If you go the other way and keep hell but deny God is good, you end up with the problem of why would a GOd who is not good tell the truth about anything?
This shows that the whole basis for the religion is flawed. All other spiritual belief systems that I have examined have similar flaws.
