QOTW || If there's a God, why is there so much suffering in this world?

What a fantastic tie up question I must say! The question itself is an answer in a rhetorical way. While a lot of people believe in the existence of God, some like me are Agnostic, and then there are Atheists. All of us will have different views and answers here and I'm interested in reading everyone's views. But let me first talk about my views.

So the question is very apt, if we say there is God then:

Why are people dying of hunger?

Why are there so many fatalities?

Why are there wars and terrorist activities?

Why is there so much Global Warming?

After all, God should be able to raise a stick and make all these bad things go away in less than a second.

According to me, and my thoughts are absolutely based on how I perceive God, God is no special person. God is a form of a living being who was/is so pure and divine, without any malicious intents or negative/bad/wrong thoughts that he could focus on creating this world and all the good things we see around. It was no superpower but his focus, concentration, and positive mindset that he was able to bring things to life.

As evolution happened and there were more living beings on this planet, not everyone had the same intents. People started to develop other kinds of feelings which were not very positive in nature, varied interests which were not in the favor of all and so, their focus and thoughts were not always in the right direction.

With time, the proportion of such people grew above those of saintly people and hence things started to go in the wrong direction. With 100 God figures and 10000000 creatures with varied mindsets, it kind of became difficult for those 100 creatures to keep the planet in a good shape.

With time, the God figure remained the same while the so-called human beings kept on growing, and here we are, a planet full of terrorism, wars, pollution, poverty, malnutrition, diseases, and a lot of other problems.

We can't put this on God. He's not responsible for everything good or bad that's happening on the earth. He gave us a place to live which was beyond imagination. It is us who have ruined the place and as we know, to every action there are consequences. So we have to bear them, there is no escape.

It's high time we stop blaming God for things we don't like. We are responsible for our sufferings and we will have to bear what comes our way. God did his best for us, we weren't able to appreciate it the way it was meant to be.
