Well....These are actions caused by man, not god....
"Man" is responsible for his actions....If you look at the world today, these issues are wide spread and it's very saddening, but again, these are the actions of "man"....fueled by greed and the need for power. This is NOT the world that god had intended for us....

how can god be so ignorant? This was not a result of a need of power, nor was it greed. because all of 5 countries created from this war are all in the same position. Dieing. If it was all mans descision, god would have guided them to safety god would have taught them not to kill. these people were raised, taught that god was the supreme ruler of the world. My parents fled to america because of muslim people commiting jihads in public buildings. burning houses down. Killing innocent people. If this is not the world god wanted for us, then what the hell is he waiting for!?

sorry, lost my cool there.

God did guide the ones who lived to safety. You are here and safe right? Then that says maybe God has a plan for you.

Of course It wasn't the chicken or the egg that came first... It was God
How else do you explain chickens???

Which God are we talking about. I could name a million. Yes I do believe in God just not the Christian one.

But I worship the Goddess.

I was born after this massacre. I was raised Christian Orthadox and I was taught that Muslims were dirty horrible people. If christian teachings tell me this. then I refuse to believe them.

To rocket maybe not, but to those who believe I hope they understand.

Basically rocket, if your reading and you look around at the good things in life Miracle of life/ birth,nature, The heavens(space), our world. etc..etc..He has made his work evident to all. They know in their hearts but for whatever the reason, deny his deity.

Yes it's hard to swallow all the bad but, is it Gods fault or the peoples????

I could try to give you scripture as well if your really interested.

See there, you apologized before someone could knock your head.

Man is greedy, man is needy, man is self loving. Without knowledge of the Bible and God's word, it will continue. Mine you, Rocket, these comments are all coming from Christians, because your original post was Do you Believe in God. So the majority of us talking with you do believe and are Christians. Some of us are new at it and some of us have been through severals studies and have a deeper understanding to Gods word. Personally, I do not at all condone or agree with the actions in war-torn nations. However, I do not question God.

Well, wait a minute.....Not everyone is raised to believe in god, and not all of those raised that way continue to believe. So you can't say that everyone involved in this war is a believer of god and his wishes. You are a prime example of what I'm saying......PLEASE don't take that as offensive.....It is NOT meant to be!

The bottom line about what you are saying comes down to MAN and his individual motives. God doesn't control "man". He gives us free will, we do what we want with it, some do good things, others do bad things. The choice lies within each of us.....
As much as we love that we have free will...it could be the worst gift god could have given to us......

PLEASE don't blame god for these actions...

If I were to think that way, I suppose I would blame god for not winning the lottery.....
