My God is a sick god…
Many conversations with atheists seem to follow the same script. Freewill is a common theme followed closely by the idea of suffering.
A huge stumbling block for the non-believer, and admittedly, many believers, is the idea as to why God allows suffering.
I could go through many reasons to explain the why but I’m going to focus on the atheist angle here. The atheist tends to use the emotional argument that there is some small child suffering horribly in some corner of the world and because God allows this he is a sick God. Offering up the idea that this child has an eternal future is not good enough because the atheist does not believe in god so the idea of suffering sickens him.
As it should. Sin, suffering, and death should sicken any sane individual. However, in the world of the unbeliever, there is no god, no eternity, and no future. We simply rot in the ground and turn into worm food.
In my humble opinion, this is a much sicker world than one without god. So basically this innocent child is born into a horrible world, suffers and dies for no greater reason than to satisfy nature’s natural progression. We are simply the next link in the chain for a universe that came into existence from nothing as we crawled from the primordial soup, stood upright and then suffered and died due to the cruelty of nature.
One day, the universe will collapse, the sun may die out, or we could be hit on earth by a giant meteor. After all of humanity’s accomplishments and suffering and dying only to be but a forgotten memory in nature’s cruel progression.
And MY God is sick. Right.

I’m going to assume that you are a Christian; that seems to be evident from the language you use.
The Bible shows us that God has no problem committing murder and causing great suffering. Men, women, infants, animals, the Bible records God killing great multitudes of them all.
In my view, the fact that the biblical God allows suffering is not as much an issue as God directly causing suffering. There is simply no way that many of the killings perpetrated by God in the Bible were just; to assert that position would require you to be believe that it could be just to kill an innocent infant or child.

Thanks for the comment, however what I wrote was about general suffering. Those comments would have to be addressed separately from this article.
And yes, i am a Christian.

Quote: The Bible shows us that God has no problem committing murder and causing great suffering.
You have obviously been hurt very badly in this life. I am sorry that someone – something – or a group has brought suffering into your life (apparently great suffering)l
The Lord did not create suffering – we did – when we “signed on” with Satan in the Garden of Eden. Hell was created for Satan and his minions – it was man that joined up.
But going a little further with your thoughts … you can choose to be bitter about what happens on earth – or you can learn – as I did — that the Most High God IS GOD. He created us – and He redeemed us by sending His Son, Jesus, to give us a way of forgiveness that we can (even though living in a sinful world) follow. There are only two types of people on earth – those that are saved by Jesus Christ and those that aren’t. Those that are bitter and want to put their fists in God’s face – you are doomed to an eternity of suffering.
He can do with us WHATEVER HE WISHES. There is a verse in the Bible about humans telling God (who created us) what to do!! I figured about about 15 years ago this is a very silly thing to try to do. HE IS IN CONTROL – NOT YOU. The earth is a little “ant farm” that He can shake up any time He chooses. You can “sign on” – or you can “sign off.” But “signing off” isn’t a very smart choice. You can “sing with the angels” for all eternity or you can scream with torture – it is your choice. And bitterness will only land you on a one-way slide into a room of eternal torture. Right now – you are already in a slide.
Besides all of the above – He DOES love you – that is the reason He created you in the first place!

I have seen much written about a race called “reptilians.” I have come to believe that this is a race of the ancestry of fallen angels. They are “the elite” – the BLUEbloods – the rulers of old – the mighty men of reknown as the Bible calls them. They were here before the flood and they ae back.
The above article talks about reproducing babies without male sex. On Greys Anatomy the other night they had a program about a woman with both sex organs — and that she could “choose” to be whatever sex she wanted.
The “Orient Express” is an occult term for the “train” moving forward to recreate this race of fallen angels in plain site, going forward in the night, but unforseen by the masses.
This is a description in Wikipedia. Please note that some creatures able to reproduce like this ARE THE SYMBOLS of the reptilians. It is in clear
site if we will open our eyes: GEICO – the gecko – reptilians. They use comedy to tell truth (but keep it hidden from our eyes). Obama is their “Joker.” In plain site- but doesn’t exist. He is their cartoon character. Check out his “photoshop” pictures” (As well as Michelle’s.)
Here is Wikipedia:
The word “parthenogenesis” comes from the Greek παρθένος, parthenos, meaning “virgin”, and γένεσις, genesis, meaning “birth”.[1] The term is sometimes used inaccurately to describe reproduction modes in hermaphroditic species which can reproduce by themselves because they contain reproductive organs of both sexes.
Parthenogenesis occurs naturally in some invertebrate animal species (e.g. water fleas, aphids, nematodes, some bees, some Phasmida, some scorpion species, and parasitic wasps) and some vertebrates (e.g. some reptiles,[2][3] fish, and very rarely birds[4] and sharks[5]). This type of reproduction has been induced artificially in fish and amphibians.[6]
The “top” of the Reptilian ladder is Queen Elizabeth. Queen of England matches “Virgin Mary” in Antichrist Gematria. Their “Virgin Mary” is a reptilian and the “baby” in her arms is not Jesus, but a representation of the “babies” they are now flooding the earth with.
Just AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH! The Lord destroyed them with water the last time – this time it will be with fire.
