Elitists who promote communism/fascism/socialism/totalitarianism/liberalism substitute big government (with themselves at the apex of power and wealth) for God. They control the masses by supplying their basic needs while taking away their inalienable rights and liberties (which the elitists do not believe in, and most definitely do not believe come from God.)

So the question comes down to this: Who will each of us choose to serve? God or man? God or (fill in the blank)?

The world is proof that there is a God. You cannot get something (the world) from nothing. Something had to have always existed. You can call it energy, or you can call it spirit, but it is all-encompassing (except for evil, which is the result of free will.) I've always thought that the more legitimate question is: Does God take an interest in his creation?

It is abundantly obvious to me that what happens to our bodies is not a top priority with God. We all must die sometime, and we owe God a death. I think it is safe to say that God's interest is not in anything in the material world, but in the spiritual only. Everything is on loan to us, including our bodies and our lives. We may not like that fact, but all evidence points to it being the truth.

The day will never come when human beings will fully understand God. Science does its best to understand this fallen world, but it cannot explain the First Cause. Rather than acknowledging that fact, some choose to ridicule those who believe in a "God of the gaps." To them, as scientific knowledge increases, God decreases, until finally, some day, God will be eliminated altogether and human beings will at last have progressed beyond their silly superstitious religious beliefs. That is the goal of the globalists who are trying to seize control of this world from the peoples of all countries.

Wow! What a good post! I am Roman Catholic, but another way to understand why bad things happen to good people is to view God the way the Eighteenth Century deists saw him, a supreme being, the Creator, who is good and who chooses not to intervene, for his own reasons, which we are not privy to. He sees no need to explain his actions.
