A lot of people ask themselves...If God is all powerful and loving, then why is there evil and suffering in the world. Evil as in crime and murder and suffering as in earthquakes, hurricanes or even an illness. What I have learned in my R.E lesson is that if there is no evil and suffering, there is no generosity in the world and the best thing I like about Islam is that most of it is to do about thinking less about yourself and thinking more about others. Most important is to give to charity. If there is no suffering, there is no charity, and if there is no charity, less people will think about others.

Why do evil suffering cause some people to reject belief in god?

Where did evil come from and why is there suffering in the world?
A:In philosophy, this is called the problem of evil and suffering. Evil must come from somewhere, but if God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all good, and the sole creator of the world, then why is there evil and suffering? The problem can only be resolved if at least one of these propositions is false. Therefore if God is all-powerful, he is either not all-knowing and is therefore unaware of all the evil in the world, or he is not all-good and is unconcerned about all. Evil and suffering exist because at least one proposition of religion is false.
Why do evil and suffering cause some people to reject belief in God?
People's rejecton of Almighty God is most likely due to their lack of accurate knowledge of God. So let me walk you through a few Scriptures that will help many to really understand who Jehovah God is. According to the first book of the Bible Genesis 1: 1 reads. " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Isaiah 45: 18 reads. " For this is what Jehovah says, The Creator of the heavens the true God. The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, but formrd it to be inhabited. " I am Jehovah, and there is no one else. Genesis 1: 31 reads. "After that ( his creation ) God saw everything he made, and look ! It was very good. ( Not only good but VERY GOOD ) God's creation on earth was built for humans to live forever on it. So God had given them a modal to follow . Genesis 2: 15-17. Their happiness depended on the rules they were required to follow. Genesis chapter 3 and Romans 5. 12 is mankind's history, which explains why things went from bad to worse. The worst is when death was spread like a disease on the human race. Suffering and death came into action as the consequences of no longer living according to God's modal. 1 John 5: 19 shows that the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. And Revelation 12: 9 describes the wicked one as the original serpent, the one called the Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth. Genesis 3: 15 explains that from that day when Adam and Eve decided to follow some other voice, there came to be two offsprings. Satan's offspring and Jehovah God's organization . The human race has a choice to make, just like Adam and Eve had that choice. 1 Timothy 2: 4,5 reads. " Whose will ( God's will ) is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, Jesus Christ. Thus God has made Himself available to mankind for all those who chose to draw close to Him. Acts 17: 27 explains that God is not far off from each one of us. Romans 1: 20 shows that God's qualities can be seen , because we are surrounded by His creation, where nothing is missing. Accurate knowledge will help us to understand that Jehovah God sent his precious Son on earth 2'000 years ago, to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan. Read John 3: 16; 1 John 3: 8. When Jesus was on earth he told us to pray for God's kingdom to come, where His will, will take place as in heaven also on earth. Read Matthew 6: 9,10. God's kingdom is the government that will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done. It will provide: perfect health, peace and security, and a clean environment for all those who choose to take their stand for God's modal. That choice was offered to Adam and Eve. By accepting God's way, it is our opportunity to let God guide our steps and at the same time show Him how thankful we are to receive the gift of life . Psalm 37: 29 reads. " The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it". That promise was made by Jehovah God a long time ago, who is a God that cannot lie. According to Titus 1: 2. So to answer your question. people who reject God, need help, to be able to become familiar with who God really is. 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 describes a person who is familiar with God's truth, as someone fully competent, completely equipped for every good work
