Question: Why do people hurt and kill children!? Is there even a God!?
If there is a God, how does he let this happen!? Would you let your kids die in front of you!? Why would god do this!? This proves that there is no such thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree - this an many other incredibly cruel and senseless acts continually prove to me that there is no god, perhaps a satan, but definitely not an all-powerful, loving god!. I say BULL!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I believe if there is a god he has no vested interest in interfering in our lives!. To be honest, I don't think we ever really die, just leave for a while!. I think the universe / reality is a big loop or sphere, like earth and everything starts over again!. Kinda like existence recycling!. If you have lost a child i am truly sorry and hope you find peace!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If someone hurts or kills a child then I assure you that G*d does not turn a blind eye!. He allowed us free-will, and He does not control what we decide to do with our lives!. Otherwise we would be nothing more than puppets on a string, and incapable of truly loving Him or anyone else!. Evil may escape punishment in this world but it will not escape it in the world after!. also, the innocent will be awarded as well!. I know it may seem of little comfort here in our current reality, but try and remember this when you see these sorts of things in the news!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust!. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust!? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line!. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust!? If the whole show was bad and senseless from A to Z, so to speak, why did I, who was supposed to be part of the show, find myself in such a violent reaction against it!?!.!.!. Of course I could have given up my idea of justice by saying it was nothing but a private idea of my own!. But if i did that, then my argument against God collapsed too--for the argument depended on saying the world was really unjust, not simply that it did not happen to please my fancies!. Thus, in the very act of trying to prove that God did not exist - in other words, that the whole of reality was senseless - I found I was forced to assume that one part of reality - namely my idea of justice - was full of sense!. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never have known it was dark!. Dark would be without meaning!.


quote from C!.S!. Lewis
(Atheist that looked at the evidence and became a Christian and speaker)

As for people God chose to make them have the choice to love, the choice to hate the choice to heal, the choice to kill!.!.!.

God sent his son Jesus as a role model that cared for little children, raised the dead, healed the sick and died for the sins of those that hated him if they would repent and believe!. God sees the begining and the end and the salvation of the soulis much more important!. Jesus came as the saviour, the messiah and God watched him die for the sins of those unworthy of anything but hell and judgement!.!.!.!.!.

What more could you want!?

P!.S!.
Psalm 30:5 (New International Version)
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning!.

For those that believe there will come a morning in heaven that all pain will be forgotten!.

As far as heaven though Don Piper was declared dead in a head on car crash and talks about what he saw A Baptist Minister came upon the crash and felt that he had to pray for the "dead guy", a very strange thing for a Baptist! So he got in the crushed car (the body was still crushed in the car) and started to pray and then sang the hymn "What a friend we have in Jesus" and when he got to the part that says "because we do not take everything to God in prayer" Don started to sing along!. Apparently the minister had some problems convincing the ambulance and police that "the dead guy is singing"!. Here are some links!.

Did you just lose a child!? If so I am sorry for your loss, however you must believe that God needed your child for something more important and that his/her time was up!. Morn and rejoice for not all is gone even though you have suffered a great loss!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i ask that question too!. if god was real why are so many kids suffering!. it doesnt make sense, as a pagan i see things differently, that life is a bifg circle, and that death is not the end, and when someone hurts a child, then all they deserve will come to them!. hope ur ok, if this has affected you!.blessingsWww@QuestionHome@Com

Some people are just awful! If there is a god then he will make the killers or people who abuse kids pay for it!. If there is a heaven then God will take care of the kids there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
