Do you notice the inside of a clock aging? No, you only take notice once it's broken and even then it could take time for you to look at it.

Then how would you know brokenness? If everyone is rich, then no one is. You aren't grateful for the things you are given or have, things such as health if everyone has it, then you feel entitled. You are grateful for health and don't take it for granted when you are sick. You won't know light without darkness and darkness without light. Basically, if everyone has something, that something no longer has any worth and people feel entitled to have that thing. Then you won't be grateful for the blessings you have.

Here’s food for thought, what if god gives you the means to have a perfect life but you don’t follow through? Personally that’s why I believe. God grants me the ability, i choose what I do with it. If my life takes a downwards turn, it’s normally my fault. Not God’s. [spoiler]Please don’t hate me, it’s just what I think, i respect your opinions as well, please do me the same courtesy.[/spoiler]

Because something about sin and satan and free will that doesn’t make sense and is terrible.

[quote][quote][quote]Here's food for thought. I'm not getting involved in this debate but think about this: If god really existed, why does this world have so many problems? If everyone preyed to god to be healthy, rich and have perfect lives why isn't that a thing?[/quote] The short answer, that I can give is the bible says everyone will have problems, but those who stay in faith to God will always have a safeplace, if you will, to go to, so you can find peace. And, God isn't and genie nor does he want to "raise" spoiled brats. The bible stresses greatly on being having good moral standards.[/quote] Yeah god can not want to raise spoiled brats, but considering half the world live in poverty and in some places people are killed by the thousands just because of who they are I'd argue thats a little bit different. Personally I don't care if God exists. If he does exist I don't believe he is worthy of worship and if he doesn't then not believing in him has no consequences.[/quote] God doesn't really want mindless worship, he created us in his image so he could have friends, its up to us if we want to be his friend. Nobody gets to choose where they are born or the circumstances of their lives, but they can choose to do what right, and can choose where they spend eternity. In all honesty its going to be easier to have faith while being poor or in shyte circumstances than being rich. Because, when you literally have nothing in this world you basically have no choice but to have faith in a higher authority.

[quote]Another food for thought thing, forgot to mention, not so much about god but religion in general. Isn't it the reason why so many people hate each other and have committed (and still do to this day) atrocities over clashing ideologies? Some say religions are peaceful, but many 'weaponize' it and become radicalised. All the genocides, cullings, present day violence etc.[/quote] This is a religion vs faith thing, its honestly extremely difficult to explain. The best I can say is all religion is wrong, but believing in "the faith" is correct. You can't emplament a religious law, it obviously has failed. Even before Christ died, before christianity in the old testament it failed many times. Pretty much anytime we doctor faith into a religious law is fails. That's one reason Catholicism is effed up.
