Why do bad things happen to good people?

I wanted to share a bit about my religious beliefs… I am a very religious person, but also, am very much a fan of logic and science.

If you go to my article section and read a case for God, it makes my logical argument that God exists, but the question is, what do you do with information?

For all points and purposes, my logical theory is from the perspective that… There is a God, and God is Good.

It is the God is Good principle… and that is where I have drawn my logic from… One of the biggest questions everyone always asked, and is always an argument against god is… If there is a God or If God is Good, why do bad things happen to good people?… Well, I pondered that question good and long and this is what I came up with…

I think this dimension, or section of the base state of existence (see article)… Is a Trap, I believe that it is a trap for the Devil…

I hypothesis that when God decided he wanted to create a society, he envisioned a particular plan where there was a Super Man that would watch over and rule the population, keeping everything in order… A superman with super powers, far exceeding what everyone would be capable of doing… There is a particular power I think he created for the devil considering he was to give people free will… Because you could have free will, you would most likely be capable of good and evil… I think as a person became more evil, the devil has the power to control their thoughts a bit, to get them back on track, but could only control people if they had fallen into a bad way, unable to change a well minded individuals freedom of will… This could eliminate all need for physical altercations and threatening people I would presume…

Now, I think he created this superman (devil), and the devil went nuts, maybe he went on a power trip, perhaps he didn’t like that everyone was going to be having fun and he was going to have to work for eternity, I don’t know, maybe he got miss wired… but he went nuts and possibly took a vendetta in one way or another against God… which God couldn’t just have the now Evil Superman just running around heaven…

So, he had to make a trap to catch him… which brings us to our dimension…

Now this dimension or section of a dimension… I should say universe I suppose…is clearly not optimal for sustaining life… To begin with we all die, not to mention all the different ways we can die, but ultimately it is even natural to die here. I actually think this universe is a sewer compared to heaven, full of pain and disease, although we get some glimpses of happiness… We mainly find happiness because we were born here and learned to adapt and live within this environment and overcome, we can even delusion ourselves in to believe that the universe is a beautiful place while people are starving and dying of flesh eating diseases everyday… We innately seek happiness and try to make the best of our situation… My point being though, that this place sucks and that I don’t think it was created to host a society…

I believe this universe was created for a specific purpose and with a specific plan… which I think a trap is the only logical reason that is in keeping with answering the question, if God is Good, why do bad things happen to good people? There should be a good answer to why children get cancer or why loving and caring people die horrible deaths or endure pain and suffering, kids starving in Africa, the holocaust, etc, etc… you could probably sit there and name horrible tragedies one after another for your entire life because they are happening every day, perhaps even every minute…

But, the trap for an evil superman fits the question very nicely…

I think the extreme length of time it took for the universe to be created and the human race to come into existence was a plan… I think it was to play into the devil’s boredom, with nothing else to do, he would gradually come to be obsessed with this place, wanting to control it or do whatever he wishes. I think we endure pain to show that God has no power here, that the devil has some control. I think the devil has tested that power many times, for example if you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, he suffers this horrible death all while God has no power to save him, I think in large part it was to show and convince the devil that God has almost no power here… I think God created a place that he has virtually no to limited power….

I think God, wanted us aloof to the plan and set it all up in a way that the we were bait for the devil in a way, that the devil could fill us with different ideas and try to rule over us and etc etc… He wanted it to be a mystery whether God existed, had to let people to turn evil, many different factors to get the devil into the right state of mind to be trapped….

You see, I think people actually can be possessed, that using that power discussed earlier, as people become more evil, and the eviler they are, the more power the devil can potentially exert over them… Which is why I say part of this initiation I was in was a cult like ritual… I think some of these organizations have been gladly turning people evil to sacrifice them to the devil in a way to be led by him…

I think the ultimate goal was to put the devil in the state of mind, that he would fully take over someone’s mind and manifest himself here, which he would then trap himself here and then be in the life and death system like all of the rest of us.

He would be officially caught and subject to God’s judgement after dying here…

This logically answers the question, if God is Good, why do bad things happen to good people… to me, I can’t find any other logical reason why we are in this hell hole, that still uses the principle that God is Good. Because if he is good, he would have to have a darn good reason, for all this madness, pain, and a place where evil has a chance to flourish.

I am telling you, the more you think about it, the more it all clicks, it answers everything. This is of course if you believe that there is a God and that God is good. Which I think in my article, A case for God, I have proven that God exists… so it would be a question of whether you think good is good or not, or if you think God isn’t good and we are just in some fish bowl for his amusement.

But, this is what I believe anyways, I think it is the most logical belief system on the planet right now in my opinion.

“you rule out the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth” – I think sherlock holmes?

I will discuss more about my thoughts about religion and science later in time though… Hope you enjoyed the read… Have a good day!
