How would you like to be God and listen to all those prayers?

First your God creates all sorts of horrors and then he does not not like it when people pray. Why did he even bother to create any of us? Your God is a perfect nut case. Any way, this is you speaking and not your God. Your ideas, your beliefs, your narrow views

God can use adversity to teach but it is one of the worst ways because we aren't listening or communicating with Him. We get into our own adversity and then we go running to God because our way didn't work. God wants us to always communicate with Him. He loves us and loves to hear from us. A parent loves their children and loves to hear from them. Why should God be any different. One of the best things to tell God is that we love Him. I have learned that it is much better to be walking with God before the challenges show up. He guides us through in a much easier fashion.

i had my share of trials and adversity though not directly given by God but only allowed by God. as many of those trials are those that i brought to myself because of wrong decision. but GOd in his wisdom allowed me to make my own decisions and mistake and is using that teach me valuables lessons in life. But God does not want me to suffer those . though sometimes GOd give trials directly. but most things i had are more brought by myself and i don't blame. though many times i had wished that GOd could not be so respectful on my decision and shuold had intervened so that i would have more easy life now. cause i make poor decisions.

Hey i ever watch about this in the movie before, if I am not wrong the title was "Bruce Almighty" staring Jim Carry and Morgan Freeman, it is about movie that someone that fell unsatisfied about his live and protest to god. Yeah this is about our fate to god. Being god is not possible by any human being. God cannot always except our prayer, maybe because we are not suit in the future about what we want.

This reminds me of that movie with Jim Carrey, "Bruce Almighty." Did you ever see it? It was so funny. This discussion reminds me of when he is doing God's job, and all of the prayers of the world come to him through email. He's got billions of them, so he just sets it to answer them all with a "yes." It completely makes a mess of the world! It gives you a glimpse of what life would be like if everyone got what they prayed for! It would be a nightmare! LOL

This I believe is a typical case of a "Bruce Almighty" scenario. Like in the movie, Bruce thought he could take the easy way out, but ultimately it turned out to me a major catastrophe. In short it's humanly impossible to listen to the prayers of the teeming millions, let alone answering them. It's better to leave things the way they are. We need to do the praying and God needs to do the answering. Period.

Yes of course. Either way you see it, its the same. If you think the Christian way then our free will is for us to take our destinies in our own hands. As per the Hindu way, our Karma sets the tone for our afterlife and Karma is in our own hands...much like the 'as you sow, so you reap' thing. So why bring God into it? Afterall the poor fellow has been much maligned and misunderstood and misinterpreted over the centuries...he genuinely needs a break.

If there were a god (IMO) then no I wouldnt want to be her/him etc...I'm quite happy just puttering along in life and doing my own thing but to be "responsible" for millions of ppl etc naw I'll pass thanks....LOL I'd probably be one of the laziest gods ever known to man/womankind LOL

I suppose that is why God is Almighty, only He can handle it. God wants us to pray, every prayer is an akmowledgement that He IS. The wise learn from adversity, the fool can't stop complaining and blaming. Blessings

After watching the movie Bruce Almighty of Jim Carey, I never dreamed or wanted to be God at all. Being God or playing God is a tough act. Just watch the movie if you think otherwise. As an almighty being, I don't think God will ever get tired of hearing our prayers though. He prefers hearing us whine and talk to him for awhile rather than being ignored at all. He even wants us to talk with him what our hurts are so he can start working for the healing. I like your idea of giving God a break. But let's not give God the night off. Instead, let's start thanking and praising him for all the things he has done in our lives. As for the next challenge, there's no need getting excited over it. Adversities are always hurtful things so we don't look for them in life. They only come actually when we don't want to learn our lessons the easy way or if the devil wants us for himself that he'll do everything to win us in his side.
