Is the devil to blame, Is God to blame or do things happen without explanation?

To often people want a scape goat when tragedy ocurres even when there is no apparent explanation. Because seeing God as the creator it is easy to blame God for everything, particularly when God is seen as being in charge and the fact that is pictured as love and goodness.

I believe life and the world can be understood with proper knowledge, chances are humans will never decipher universal DNA to comprehend life.

Why do bad things happen to good people? What is a good person according to the measurable standards of the world? Does the world recognize good or bad person acts? Karma is said to reflect a person’s life by the life a person leads.

I don’t know why children die or the purpose of illness to some and good health to others? Nonetheless there is a valid explanation even if it cannot be understood.

Reminds me of Uncle Fester Addams Family lighting the way with his screwed in light bulb
 
Most things that happen have a logical explanation and are the result of our or one of our ancestor's actions. Newton's third law.

Since we are born with the DNA of our Ancestors, we are far from perfect, we inherit their imperfection much the same way let's say a Baker that bakes bread in a tin with a dent in it. no matter how many loaves of bread he makes they will always have that imperfection.

Flawed DNA is part of each and every one of us.
That being said Science and Biology are now out the point of creating designer humans.

You could say my purpose is me and your purpose is you? I get the jest, everything is all in our head?

I could say that, but that's not what I'm saying. One defines their own purpose, and since I'm not a believer in altruism, purpose is driven by individual need. No, everything is not all in our head.

If not in our head, what is purpose but an idea and where do ideas come from? A thought from within our head?
 
My simple version. I’m not a theologian. God gave mankind free will. We are all sinners, and will always be. No one is better than anyone else in this way. Every sin is equal in Gods eyes.

We were designed for eternity. None of us will know all the answers until we die and depart this earth.

Bad things happen as the result of sin. We all have free will to make decisions. Some of us may be inclined to sin because of sinful events that we had nothing to do with.

I have come to believe the tragic events in life ie a young child’s death we don’t know the whys. Just keep in mind we can’t foresee eternity. That child is in heaven having the best possible life, free from evil and sin.

Oh, I'm sorry Ed, I misunderstood you. I thought you might have been saying everything is one great big fat hallucination. Don't know why I made that leap. Must be all in my head!

Yes, ideas come from within. We may hear ideas from others, but when we incorporate them they become part of our within.
 
Why not God for everything good & bad? A belief system that accepts the idea that a supernatural sentient being billions of years old was responsible for creating our universe, populating earth & deciding what takes place after death should be accountable.

People believe God instructed Noah to build an ark so that he could murder all except Noah & his family. I guess rethinking took place & starting all over was the intent. Apparently that didn't work out either except this time instead of mass murder, sacrificing his son was supposed to influence mankind.

Hate to think about what is next. IMO so far the attempts to get all of mankind to exercise free will for the good of all humans isn't working.

What's next. Well, all the Jews have to go to Israel whether they want to or not so this earthly plane will end once and for all. Big Bang becomes Big BOOM!
 
I believe there is no "god", no heaven and no hell. We are created by a sperm cell fusing with an egg cell and simply cease to exist at the end. Our only "savior" is Father Death who takes us all at the end and ends all our pain and suffering. Our only option is to enjoy each day as if it were our last since it well may be our last....

Wow. I just realized once again it's all up to me and my brethren. Big responsibility, I think I'll pass, and since ALL must be there I clogged up the plan! Yay me.
 
Not everyone will come to believe in God and the Bible. It is written in scripture that, not a quote, only a few are chosen. God of course knows who. We do not know. It is our free will to make our own decisions, based on a vast amount of information in the world. It’s not about saying a few simple words. Faith and knowing God is something you feel in your heart. Similar to knowing in your heart that your spouse is your soulmate.
 
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that exactly 144,000 faithful Christians from Pentecost of 33 AD until the present day will be resurrected to heaven as immortal spirit beings to spend eternity with God and Christ.

Guess the rest of us just stand outside the window looking in.
