Why didn't God help?
50Where is God?
Not knowing why but this request caught my eye. Always looking for a way to kick religion around I decided to try a different approach. Drawing back to my impressionable years and the things that I have learned since, I shall try to defend God (even using the name starting with a capital, big step for me!).
The big question, why doesn't God help out and let bad things happen? Many different dynamics can be put into play here. The main one being God put us here and had a direct role in human events. After a few centuries of being betrayed by man, God left it up to us. Free will, determining how and if we would follow Him. Even under persecution will we crack or continue the steady march forward. The guiding light even if it leads to martydrom.
We are also in a war against the fallen. The morning star (a.k.a. Satan, the Devil, or whatever you call it), and his angels/devils. As the story goes a war in Heaven between the angels who were upset at Gods infinate love towards man, and the Lord and His angels. Winning the war God cast out the angels and the Morning Star fell to Earth. The hatred towards mankind is unbelievable. These angels cannot see why God loves humans and is so forgiving towards our transgressions. Even those that are unbelievers God shows compassion and forgiveness. These are the demons that haunt people to turn them and take their souls away from God. This is the plan to take mankind away and torture us in Hell, the greatest pain they can cause God. This is were the Guardians/Angels, come into play to help us along the way. So you can say that God is helping. But we still have free will to choose the wrong path.
God did help, and we turned our backs. So He then gave us an out, with His son to "take away our sins". With this He can help and wait. Besides, if he took away the bad how would we appreciate the good. If He took away death and pain, we could not know the joys of being happy and alive.

Thanks for the comment. I spent many years in the Catholic church, being taken to Baptist, Lutheran, and the rest of the religions by my various family. Some relatives refuse to even speak to others in the family because of the difference in the church they went to. After schools, sermons, being on councils and leading F.C.A. at a major university my studying and research led me to a different view. A shocking change to those around me, even in the science community that I was and am a part of. You cannot fathom how many devoted follower's of Christ are in the science community. Being in the military, university, or science did not change my views. It was a personal choice, one that I came to alone. I still read the bible on a weekly basis and any other religious book I can get my blasphomous hands on, but I read now in search of truth. Yes, I am anti-Christian. In fact I'm anti-religion, dogma, and myth. If a god reveals it's presence to me I will gladly change. But for now, only science holds truth to me. Thanks again and have fun.
Hi Ande,
God knows better what to do. Humans are too stupid to know the secret of God. The man tasked with all the capabilities that have been given by God. In this case, the will be very important. Lol
If someone wants to walk out on you and you manipulate them into staying, well, they're not really staying are they? Same with God and freewill.
Just my opinion.
Thanks for the comments. Good opinion Madame X. Thanks again and have fun.

For a professing anti-Christian, you did a good job. I find that when I don't understand something about the Bible or why certain things happen - I keep my faith. I do so knowing that God knows better than I do. God's mind is infinite and ours is like a peanut. By our own choice, we are flawed, so how can our minds, our logic or our reasoning even grasp God's ways? Like a child who gets angry at his father for making decisions the child can't understand, so we are. We can't understand everything God does, but I know he loves us, and we are like children when it comes to understanding him.
