Can God exist with natural disasters?

With such mouths as speak here, blaspheming the glorious god, who gives everything its life, WHY SHOULD HE NOT DO AWAY WITH YOU ALL?

If you want to be in his perfect world, where there will be no hurt, sickness or sorrow, you need to seek a place of repentance from your wicked words and thoughts. Else, pay the price.

God simply is NOT protecting his enemies,...so your 'god', satan is having his way. If you knew anything at all about the true God's word, you would know this, and be afraid to speak such trash against the one who created this entire universe, and YOU CAN'T CREATE A THING.

so how you gonna judge his things?

We are subject to the laws of nature within our own bodies.Our bodies age and get sick and eventually die and decay.

We all must cross over from being here to being somewhere else.

People die every second of everyday Noa.Whether it be by natural disasters which kill less people that disease,famine and war.

The Christian thought which permeates our culture has had 2000 years to grow into this assumption that God watches over us.

This is wrong.

God helps those who help themselves and I don't mean in a worldly sense.

The world like humanity is not perfect so there will always be imperfections in humanity and the world.

If everything is God then that includes evil and I can't accept that for evil is the lack of God for if God is ambiguous then evil and disasters are within God's remit and considering most disasters occur in the 3rd world then God would be selective in who he capriciously chooses to kill.

I think we all should consider God to be a mysterious force instead of placing our opinions and beliefs onto God.

I think that we should know ourselves and our world more and use our God given intelligence to try and look at the reasons why people die in natural disasters on all levels.

Why is there so much poverty linked to greed with children being born within that world of natural disasters?

Why did they build a nuclear reactor in an area prone to tsunamis and earthquakes?

What is the purpose of that and who is enriched by it?

As for Atheists Noa what do they know?

They tell you that no matter how you live and die all is nothing when you die.

So if your out in the rain and the lightening strikes you and you were a decent fellow who was loved and will be missed terribly and those that miss you will never be the same again then that is all it amounts to.

Your manner of death is just an event.

This Noa is the cold sterility of pure Atheism.A superior view by people who can only see what they want to see and instead of just being happy with that like those Religionists they spend all their time in their heads on this forum telling you they know different.

God does not exist in our ideas of time and space Noa and God exists in a realm that is beyond our imagination.

Would it comfort you to know that maybe those souls who die in disasters of all kind may go straight to a universe without pain and suffering.

I would hope so even for the comfort of the thought because Noa your exhausting this argument however I feel your anguish and I see your looking for a reason but the reason lies within you Noa.

For atheists: Do you think natural disasters disprove the existence of God? Do you find natural disasters evil when they cause suffering?

No, it just disproves the idea that a god who does not want natural disasters to exist.

Natural disasters are not evil, because I don't believe in evil. There are only things that I oppose for reasons related to my physiology. But that doesn't make them objectively wrong, for no objective moral code exists. Morals evolved like the rest of behavior. I defend my loved ones because my brain is programmed too, not because a higher intelligence is telling me to do it.

If you think natural disasters disprove the existence of an all-good, all-powerful God you are making a presupposition I don't agree with. This is that suffering is necessarily bad/evil. Imagine a life without any suffering. The ancients believed that suffering brought wisdom. Rabbi Abraham Heschel says simply, "The man who has not suffered, what can he possibly know, anyway?"

Ancient Greek Cynics thought similiarly:

-Demetrius thought that a life without suffering would be like the Dead Sea, lifeless and motionless.

-“Wisdom comes alone through suffering.” - Aeschylus

I think God allows human suffering because he can bring a greater good out of this suffering, namely drawing people towards himself, their final end. He has showed before that he allows suffering to occur for the sake of a greater good, for example Jesus' death on the cross for our salvation.

"all things work together for good to those who love God." (Romans 8:28)

I'm an atheist. No, natural disasters do not disprove the existence of a god - just the existence of one which is good and also all powerful. The universe formed naturally and has no brain and therefore does not care about living organisms on it.The lack of evidence for any gods is the strongest motivator for atheism.

They do not provide powerful evidence of the non esistence of God. They merely show that the natural world groans and writhes with the corruptness of sin as it awaits the coming of Christ the second time. God can prevent these things from harming us, but He chooses to not do so for then He would feel compelled to constantly intercede on the behalf of everyone. This would lead people to choose to put themselves in harms's way expecting God to save them from any harm. It would cheapen the value of life, steal away any meaning to the concept of love, and would not lead anyone to accept God as their Savior.

God is not responsible for suffering, but Satan.

"He put another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?' He said to them, 'AN ENEMY HAS DONE THIS.' So the servants said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them?' But he said, 'No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn."

"Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field." He answered, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear."

Matthew 13

The happenings on Earth are a lesson showing that God is just in his dealings with mankind while respecting their free will.

The natural Disaster don't have the fault that the Humans Settlements cant run out of their way,

They are just Amazing amounts of energy that prove that the earth itself is (thermodynamically) alive

If there were a god, and it was kind, loving, all powerful, caring, disasters that ended up having a child die every 5 seconds of starvation on this planet wouldn't happen.

Hence, your god either:

1. Doesn't exit.

2. Is one mean and nasty dude (see Job)

3. Or isn't very powerful, nor kind nor loving. In which case, why worship it?

Natural disasters say absolutely nothing about any gods. They are natural disasters. You don't have to wait for a thousand people to die in an earthquake to know that gods or god don't exist!
