no, suffering is a perception of man.

A child may 'suffer' if it wants some candy but its parent denies the child for its own good. The parent still exists and understands the child is not truly suffering. The child may bring upon itself a fit of suffering at not getting what he/she thinks will make it

we can not conclude if god exist or does not exist based upon our perceptions of what we think the human condition should be

No. There is no discernible proof that "God" does or does not exist. This is why agnosticism is the only viable solution when considering a higher power.

Also, understand that your "suffering" is only your interpretation of events. Take for example a serial killer. Yes his victims "suffer" but to the killer the event is exciting and perpetuates his existence. This is an extreme case, however the point I am attempting to make it that "suffering" is relative, and even the person who is suffering can teach themselves to accept and even enjoy things that they now feel pain from.

OR

It could be argued that suffering is necessary for your soul to learn an experience, or that others can learn from your suffering.

It can promote sincere feelings of empathy or pity and the will to do as much as possible, to avoid unnecessary suffering.

Either way, this could be seen as the work of God, in order to guide our souls to righteousness.

Good Luck.

Why do non religious people suffer?

They are always worried about dieng and not going to heaven, trust me i am non-religious. It's not only non religious people who suffer. But, maybe, if you believe they do, it's because there is no God that look after them, because they do not believe in any God. Also, I think that maybe non religious people THINK they suffer, because they, unlike religious people, do not have a God to trust in. If they did, maybe they would not find their sufferings as difficult and would not claim that 'only non religious people suffer'.


Why does god not help people who suffer?

Why does God allow people to suffer?

When the original people sinned in the Garden of Eden, God made them leave, and at the same time gave them and all people free will. No longer would people be under God's protection as they were in the Garden. Suffering is a result of people having that free will.


How did people react to prophet habbukkuk's message?

What is faith? Why does God allow people to suffer? Why does God not punish the wicked immediately? About 605 B.C. God called a sensitive man to show His people God's purposes as the wicked Babylonians gained control of the world and made demands on Judah. Habakkuk used dialog with God and a hymn from the temple to show what faith is, why God would use such a wicked people as Babylon, and why God would let his people suffer. Habakkuk shows: a prophet can be perplexed at God's rule of history. God wants persistent commitment to and trust in him; and a psalm of confidence expresses faith in tumultuous times. Habakkuk is a call to faith for people who see no hope.
