Hey people, we are all free to do whatever we want!!,,so if there are bombs falling on any country, its not like the bombers asked GOD "hey,,can I drop a few ones?" and HE said "ya sure",,people behaves badly coz they want to, we choose if hurting or healing, GOD doesnt either allow or forbid anything,,dont blame HIM for our own waned brain, sadistic desires, and incompetence.

 Human beings are the plague for human kind

Have a good day hehe

Misaki-kun: Christian rock?? Have you heard christian hip-hop?? When you listen this kind of hip-hop you´ll erase the rock of your list of "sufferings", hahaha!

Bakahashi:

 the Holy books should be perfect too. The Bible was not written by God, in fact it was written by many years for different persons. And persons are not perfect.

if god is all loving and created everything too, then by creating evil, God is not all loving. Darkness is the absence of light, so in the same way, Evil grows in the absence of love. We were (and are) blessed by God with his love, but a person away of his lessons is capable to damage, hurt or even kill.

gkisseberth That's a good question! I never thought you are a thoughtful person! Yes, why should some suffer for us? Why are not we the ones who suffered? I guess we should be thankful and help those in need! Are you willing to help? If yes, you are blessed, but why? If no, you are damned, and why? Is it all a CHANCE?!!!!! It happened that there were atheists all over centuries, you are neither the first nor the last, so do not worry. Believers may suffer as well as atheists for chances could be fair and unfair too, no big deal. Believers think that they will be rewarded, so they would take the matter easily, while atheists would probably commit suicide. Everyone would like others to follow one's path. You are free to promote your propaganda, but to underrate and disrespect others' beliefs it is unacceptable.

I think that life will be meaningless if we do not suffer.

You wouldn't enjoy happiness if you don't experience sadness or pain.

Imagine there is no death you will stay alive for instance if you had an accident or whatever happends to you you would not die.Will being alive be meaningful.I don't think so .Nothing makes sense if you didn't experience pain or suffering.

Finally I'm sure Allah is fair and I hope one day you will understand that.
