Christian ideas and concepts of suffering

God can interfere via miracles; however generally he doesn't interfere with human activity and the consequences of sin.
I like this statement, and I do believe in miracles. I guess you could callus random acts of kindness, as many of these miracles a rare but I believe they do happen

God is active in the world through his believers. In many disasters and tradagies god is active through the hands and feet and skills of his people
I find this challenging to believe because most of the time, these disasters don't have enough money to fully rebuild themselves and many people die and so Many bad things happen that he should want to stop

Isabel Allande

Different veiw on birth and death. You shouldn't fear death- she over came it. She grew through the pain and suffering of alot of the events in her life.

Guilt

Is guilt ever appropriate? Could guilt be good for you?
Guilt could be good for you because it might make you confess to something that will help you in the long run. Guilt is good because it is an emotion that makes you feel something that even if you don't confess, you know you babe done something wrong. I think guilt is appropriate.

Science and Religion

What areas of life do you think science is useful? In what areas do you think accidence has nothing to contribute?
Science is useful for factual 100% sure material, backed up my years if research and experiment and former knowledge that was formed overtime. Non science is useful for concepts that cannot be backed up. Science can be ideas.

The Riddle Of Suffering

Do you think god cares about our suffering?
Yes, I think god cares about suffering because he suffered a lot for us, but also, if he cares about our suffering then why does he makes suffer? Maybe he thinks it is only a small amount of suffering compared to what he suffered.

Do you agree that if there is no God, 'everything that happens- good or bad - must be thought of as the result of the random mindless Wastage of evolution?
I believe in karma, if I do something bad or that I regret and something happens to me, I'll think it's karma. I think that karma happens at different levels. Evolution might have happened because we needed to grow foreward for other things in this life to happen
