Why do bad things happen to good people?

Because nothing about Christianity or other big religion makes any sense.

Simple as that.

Are you certain you want an explanation? I'm not sure you do, but no problem; Bad things happen to good people for the exact same reason that they happen to bad people, and for exactly the same reason that GOOD things happen to both good and bad people. See where this is going? Things happen. They happen to everyone. There is no one making the decisions about what "should" happen or what someone or other deserves, they just happen. And remember this: EVERYTHING that EVER happens to you is the result of one or more of the following 3 causes, and no for no other reasons: 1. Your actions. 2. The actions of others. 3. Random chance. That's it, dear. That's why stuff happens. Feel better now? I'll bet you don't.

I think that is only part of the equation. Bad things happen to bad people, they often end up in jail. Bad people end up getting divorces. And sometimes bad people seem to have a strike of good luck. I don't think you are seeing the whole picture and are just looking for good people having bad things happen to them.

I don't think God causes bad things to happen, but He allows them to happen. Sometimes these bad things create the greatest of good. Many charities have been started because someone had something bad happen to them. The American Red Cross began with Clara Barton's experiences with terribly wounded soldiers of the civil war.

Why do bad things happen to good animals , as an evolved species we have the ability to consciously interact with an energy that increases acceptance of what we can not change , and make changes to our consciousness that effect our evolution and decrease the man made bad stuff that as good as it gets and of course there is life after death.

search for goodness and string theory

Well, if you're going to reject whatever explanation anybody offers, you'll just have to live with thinking that there is no explanation. Why the fcuk do you think there's an explanation, anyway? Isn't that in itself an expression of the kind of "faith" you won't even allow us to talk about?

If you're going to censor other people in advance, then just sit in a cave by yourself. Then nobody will every say anything to you that will disturb your little already-made-up mind.

It is not only to good people, they might love God, and worship him, but because sin entered into the world, people (all) people have good & BAD things happen.

Soon the promised Paradise will be restored, and God "will wipe out every tear from our eyes," and even the dead will be brought back to life!

Like this picture below:

God can allow bad things to happen to good people in order to teach them lessons, to discipline them, to improve their character, to encourage them to depend on Him, etc. We know from the Scriptures that nothing occurs without God's permission (Ephesians 1:11). We also know that God is good, so we must conclude that He allows bad things to occur because they are according to His sovereign plan; and ultimately it will work out for good--especially for those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
