Why does God allow good things to happen to bad people?

Well. I believe in "Karma" theory, though God can modify the effect. Whatever we experience, is in reply to our previous "Karma" (what we have done in the past). If we realize it and pray to God, He can minimize or remove the effect, I believe. May be those "bad people", done some good things in their past and enjoy the benefit. There is a saying in my region "every 30 years, the wheel turns upside down".

Don't good things happen to everyone?? Next, your judgement for someone being bad might not be the same for others. What did Mae West say? When I'm bad, I'm better. Lastly, if one had total bad, how could they ever understand what good is? How could they then want to strive to be good?? Yes, it's all a delicate balance. I'm glad I'm not the one making the final decisions. I might not be quite so fair.

hi stand: i agree with friend's point upside,but on another side, it's also a test to you.god wants to tell you that we can not be down in spirits even there is some unbalance happened to you.we have to keep up a good state of mind all the time.right?

I think its applied to all people. God never differ his treat to his creation. But his creation, human, sometimes never realize how kind is God with us. And they never thankful to God. I think God allows good things to happen to bad people, because God want that those bad people realize someday, that God might give them more good things, if they don't do anything bad anymore. If bad people can get good things from God, I think God will give more than that for good people.
