Does God Exist?
Is there any evidence for the existence of God?
Were we created?
Is life the result of natural forces, or divine design?
Why allow evil?
If a loving God exists, why won’t he end human suffering?
WHAT IS JUSTICE?
How can a loving God leave anyone in endless torment?
PROBLEMS
It’s okay to ask questions.
If the thought of a God who abandons most of his creation in flames forever doesn’t trouble you, then maybe it’s time to ask more.
evil
The world endures unspeakable pain and anguish. Innocent children suffer. Cruel and barbaric acts are often done in the name of God.
If God exists and cares about us, why let us suffer?
hell
Many world religions teach that God loves us―but also that he will allow many people to burn in hell forever, without any hope of escape.
Is this the best solution God can come up with?
ignorance
Many religions claim those who don’t hear and follow the right teachings will burn in flames of endless torment after they die.
Why doesn’t God give everyone a chance to hear the truth?
injustice
Some teach of an “age of accountability” at which we become responsible for our own destiny.
If two sisters born into the wrong religion die early, will God send the sixteen-year-old to hell, and the six-year-old to heaven?
Obvious Problems
These are just a handful of the dilemmas popular theology has created in an attempt to explain the existence of God, the problem of evil, and the afterlife. Flawed religious beliefs have created a tragic wake of destruction that includes:
- Mothers drowning their own children to save them from endless hell
- Forced religious conversion on threat of death
- Suicide missions to kill those of “wrong” faiths
As a result of this madness, many people have understandably rejected religion altogether.
But what if we got something wrong?
