it is hard to give an advice to the person who he/she condemn our god. but still i try to fix the wholes that it will bring a misunderstanding to a person who dont believe in god. they think that god dont listen to them because of the sufferings that they have.

No, i don't encountered such a person yet, and i think its not good to blame God for the sufferings that a person have. There's always a reason why a certain event is happening in our lives.

It's funny that you ask this question, because I just had a conversation with someone this evening who doesn't believe in religion. He said he doesn't understand a God who lets such evil things happen. We had a long discussion, but I don't think I did any good at changing his mind. It's sad to me.

There are times when actions speak louder than words. If after watching what you do and ask why then they may not only listen but more importantly HEAR when you explain that faith in God is what gives you the strenth to act in the manner that you do.

Yes, a friend of mine was on a "I hate God" kick one night I was on the phone with her. She had just lost her husband of 10 years & was very bitter. She kept blaming God for taking him away & making her life miserable. There was not much I could say to her to make her stop. I had a very hard time listening to her bash God. It's difficult to make someone with those ideas feel better about God & give them reason to believe.

It is difficult for all of us when we lose those we love, maybe more so when it is sudden, as with accidents. I feel for those who suffer with the loss, or have to watch loved ones suffer. God is not the bad guy. God is the one that sustains us (Footprints in the Sand). He is the one that comforts us to know that our loved ones have gone on to do of more his work. i look at as our loved one is needed somewhere else more importantly. Some may not believe in God, but maybe they can just believe in a power above their own. When we just look at the beauty of the world and all the miracles that do take us, we know it is not our ego doing this (though we can feel good about ourselves when we have a part in the good stuff. It is difficult to explain why and how bad things happen, but the important thing is that we should not allow it to control us or make us give up on True Life. God is Good, our faith in him gives us the strength to good. I BELIEVE!
