abubin,
I have felt the sting of losing a loved one. Not once, but three times. Yes, that made me doubt God. And when bad things happen, I wondered if He existed at all.
As a matter of fact, I've led my life in a path that is way beyond what I wanted. Things happen after another and sometimes I look at God with anger.
I'm sure God has been pretty unpopular among people like us, people who have gone through a shit load of life events. After all, it's always easier to blame or be angry at Someone who is supposed to be in charge of everything, who is supposed to make things better.
But, spare me a minute. Have you heard of His son Jesus?
He most certainly did not live in the shell of his own life. Temptation? He's got it straight from the source. Mockery? You have no idea the millions of people who hated him despite his holy identity. Betrayal? By his very own disciple, leading him straight to the hands of enemies. Pain? Look at the cross. Losing a loved one? He was the darling of heaven. God's most precious son. How would you feel if you gave up your one and only Son to save the very people who led him to his death?
Everything you've felt, or have been feeling.. God has felt them too... He knows.
Why do bad things happen? I don't know if I should go any deeper into this. If you are willing to discuss, feel free to message me. =) Peace.
Ah, lets keep the Islam vs Christianity out of this please. A forethought.
Indeed, if we take it into context, Jesus Christ surely has suffered more than anything we can suffer. I believe, one shouldn't refer to deities as "Fix-it" or solutions to life's problems, but rather as inspirations (guides) for people. After all, I don't think many of us have seen a miracle, so just keep living on huh.
