Why does God allow suffering?
















Christians believe that God is:

  • All powerful (OMNIPOTENT)
  • All loving (OMNI BENEVOLENT)
  • All Seeing (OMNISCIENT)
So the question is...if God loves people and can do something about it, why does he allow suffering?

TASK
If you were to meet God (supposing that God does exist for this exercise) - what event, problem or issue would you want to ask God about?

i think god allows suffering cos he maybe doesnt no the suffering is happening or maybe isnt powerfull enough to stop suffering from happening. I dont believe in god myself but im sure if one of these reasons was correct then if he could prevent suffering from happening or did no it was happening then im sure he would stp it

i dont think god is real as he would help people out as that is what the bible supposedly teaches!

I always believed he allowed suffering after "adam & eve" either that or he doesn't exist.

if he does exist he probably thinks its not right to interfere and let us all play out our "free will" alot of things tht happen to people may be caused by something with free will (i.e dieseases, people such as scientists or terrorists or criminals)

God?
There is know god,
Just a figure of imagination the government and church made up so you listen to them and celebrate stupid holidays after them.
If there was a god, he would allow suffering to teach lessons to other people, but i don't think he does because he would have to watch a hell of alot of innocent people die because of him.

God allows suffering because maybe he had parents aswell and they used to knock him around and he might have brought himself up to think that smiting people is right
