Perhaps because it causes massive pain and suffering? Because it does not discriminate between young and old, rich and poor?
Because there's no rational explanation why a loving creator would make some suffer so greatly?
Spiritual beings
Gods, angels, Ascended Masters, elementals, ghosts, faeries, Spirit guides and extraterrestrials can spiritually guide us, if we open ourselves to their guidance
Life has a purpose; this includes a belief in synchronicity—that coincidences have spiritual meaning and lessons to teach those whom are open to them.

Now you're talking like a vegetarian who likes to pretend that young carrots are not alive. :bugeye:
Caring about stuff is all subjective. There are some who put pictures of dead people on the wall and drink to their hail fellow well met lives.
Why blame God for your inability to get accustomed to mortality?
I induce diseases in animals, the younger the better. Its more educational.
i have experienced beings that WERE there, yet unseen. that was not god. i do not know that god is a being at all. god doesn't seem similar to any being i'm aware of.
and it might be exactly what i say it is. but here you are proposing that you are more capable of determining what's caused my own experiences than i am. do you seriously not see how incredibly arrogant that is? you have not experienced what i have. your conclusion is not based upon familiarity or knowledge. it is based soley on your own desire to be right.
no, i don't. and what you're saying about many religious people is true. the path is narrow, and i think i'm probably one of 144,000. and i am quite happy being a minority. now watch, you'll say i'm conceited for thinking i'm special.
well then why are you so hateful? hate is an emotion.
Try again, SAM. Your god does not present himself as merely the landlord. He's the creator, right? So that means he created cancer. The question, once again, is why such a terrible thing is necessary.

well genetics is a cause. and our genetics are influenced by many things as we evolve. i'm sure there are environmental influences and causes as well.
No Dawg, not "allow" but 'specifically, intentionally and intelligently created to perform a very specific function'.
I wouldn't of course but others might. Why would they? Well, I suppose that such facts of existence raise concerns with certain supposed definitions and characteristics attributed to certain gods. For instance: It is sometimes claimed that the modern popular gods are very intelligent - supremely so. Given that statement, the existence of wisdom teeth and blind spots raises various concerns.
Does that help?
make them? you don't think it's caused by magic do you? :bugeye:
A cosmic joke of course. Immortal cells for those who wish to prolong their mortality. You don't want your cells to age and die? Here try a bunch of those kinds.
Don't play that game. Your god says he is the creator of all this. Hence, he created cancer. Unless you're saying he can't control it, in which case he isn't really god.
Of course he is, didn't he say, beware of what you want, for you may get it?
Think of him as an overindulgent parent.
my observation.
cancer is an effect, and it has various causes. it's not random. i doubt we could isolate all of the cumulative causes, and even if we could, we still couldn't cure it, cause this cess pool of a planet has been way too far gone for way too long. :m:
That still isn't an answer. Your god gives us this cancer. He allows it to happen. Why?
that's all.
