were we created with different beliefs? Why do some of us suffer from hardships while others live a relatively easy life? Where is His unconditional love? Why can't He just destroy the Devil instead of allowing him to lead many of mankind astray?

Thank you for your response. Your viewpoint has raised t least one question. If God created His children, why would He becomes jealous of them? One who creates can easily destroys what has been created. Do not worry about what you have written. Not many of us really understand what has been written.

GOD created Earth, GOD created Human, GOD sent the prophets and messengers to set the rules, and done. GOD let play and just watch from a far. yes GOD loves us, yes GOD can release us from suffering, But GOD already make promised to let us free will, that means whatever we do is not GOD obligation, whatever disaster happened is not GOD intention, in just life playing... GOD just hope that we don't destroy ourself and dont fall to satan whisper. GOD just watch with hopes.

God just watch with hopes? This can lead to the inference that God is powerless. It can also be inferred that God does not know what the future holds whereas He is the All Knowing. Actually I have heard the points before. Most listeners were not satisfied with the answer. Thank you for your response.

Well i believe though my studies all religions, (not speaking of cults) began in Sumeria, And from their it spread throughout the world, Being separated they began to evolve to different religions, some became monotheistic while others stayed polytheistic. I believe they have more in common then they have differences. They all try to teach love and peace. But it is man who constantly screws things up and makes differences.

I do not disagree with you because a person who believes in Adam and Eve as the original modern man would probably accept this theory. The question is why the apparent inequality in the lives of mankind whereas it has been claimed that God is Merciful. I believe that there are many people out there waiting for a satisfactory answer, something which I think is beyond my capability. This question is applicable to most religions. Thank you for your response.

The reason why god is so powerless is because e doesn't exist. If an all merciful god existed he would prevent all the evils in the world.

Thank you for your response. This question has been bugging many people and what I wanted to know are other people's opinions or understanding on this matter. This is a question many religious persons are unable to answer clearly, probably because some of them have no real answer. BTW I still believe in God and I am not condemning you for your opinion. At least you are brave enough to voice out your doubts, and this is a step forward towards a better understanding.
