God makes us suffer?

Experts have stated taht 90% of world suffering is caused by PPL.
the other 10% are due to natural occurences (disasters etc.) Of these natural occurences, many can be avoided. By being more conscious of the Earth's resources instead of treating it the way we do.

its not that God makes us suffer, but He does allow it. God is in control of all things.

yeah I agree

so I guess the real question is why God ALLOWS suffering.. if He is benevolent and kind?

I dont think we'll ever know

in some cases its a test. Like in Job chpter 1, God told satan to test Job. "(10) 'Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. (11) But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.'
(12) The Lord said to Satan, 'Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.' Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord."

also, during the tribulation period which is to come, God sends many horrible disasters n plagues to show He is the one true God.
So He also uses these things to convert people or strengthen their faith.

well i think God allows us to suffer so that we can better appreciate the GOOD TIMES

for example, a person will never truly apprecaite good health unless he's been really sick before

so if I get cancer, I deserve it? Interesting

If God loves us unconditionally and is all forgiving, then where is your argument coming from? You are saying God is a vengeful God?

ignorance

When research is backed up by vast amounts of data and research, I doubt they are making it up. Sure ppl can manipulate statistics, like salesman etc. but the point is there - that a great majority of the suffering on earth is caused by humans.

from a deistic point of view, god allows it because he simply created the world, and even if he somehow moderates the world ...g-d (had to say it once) will never intervene becasue that's never god's intention.

from the view everyone else is coming from, hmm i'll throw out a bunch of cliches. Everything happens for a reason, god knows what he/she's doing. Penance comes in many forms, that of which we won't always know at the time of its occurence as well. Sometimes we realize the purpose afterwards. Or perhaps it's just simple lesson teaching god is doing. But i agree in the fact that people aren't controlled by god, humyns do evil...not god. That does kind of contradict what i was saying earlier...hmmm peoples free will isn't controlled, but their actions are perhaps? i haven't thought of it clearly yet, so thats not that great. I'll get back here and elaborate later.
