It shouldn't be about convincing others, but the questions are a way for actually challenging your flawed way of thinking and seeing other perspectives. By saying "oh just ask God" its like another way of saying "I give up in this conversation because I can't think for myself" It's the perfect example of using God as an answer to explain something you don't know… and sadly somehow people buy that answer I dont agree in the context, the question was asked in the reverse, it had the premise that God existed and was responsible for the 'bad things and suffering' that are suffered. Most Christians are forced to conclude that this is somehow part of the master plan and beyond our comprehension, but this is not the same as saying I don't know why the sun rises, God must have done it, it is simply acknowledging that if there is a grand plan, chances are very high that it's intricacies are beyond us. To be fair I do not think that the answer that God must have a good reason is a good one, and at the end of the day I am not sure why there is suffering, it is one of the harder things to reconcile as a Christian. I think its hard to reconcile for anyone.. but I think the idea of suffering is easier for a Christian to reconcile with because of the belief in God. And you even said that Christians put their trust into a being that supposedly has a grand plan for them.. so they accept suffering based on that concept and think that's good enough answer. I think the real question which obviously no one can answer is always "how do you even know God exists?" its makes this whole argument totally worthless. |
