Why?

[Perfection]

What good people, where? There aren't any.

Luke 18:19
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone."

Teller is a good person.

 

[Quasar1011]

What sort of god would create people incapable of being good?

He didn't create people that way. We messed up.

 

[Quiet Sound]

We?
So you believe in holding people responsible for something that happened before they were born?

 

[Quasar1011]

We?

Are you not part of people?

People mess up, because they are descended from people who messed up.

I just don't see how stuff like cancer can really be the fault of us messing up. Seems like a bit of a cop-out answer.

Why aren't the punishments in proprtion to the crime?

 

[Tee Kay]

Why is it always the good people who get ill , suffer and die young? Why don't murderers or rapists get cancer or anything?

"Life isn't fair. Get used to it" -Bill Gates/dhighland

If you look at it from a Buddhist perspective, they are paying for the sins they commited in this or past lives. They could've been murderers or rapists in their past lives and now they have to suffer in this life, just as those who are murderers and rapists in this life will suffer because of their crimes in this life or the next. This way Buddhists dismissed suffering as a part of life and learn to overcome it. We can not be free of suffering until we have get rid of all our earthly desires.

I wonder where in the genetic code the genes for "messing up" can be found, and how a decision put them there.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

He didn't create people that way. We messed up.

better question: why would god create something that could fall? and if god knows all then why were there no safety measures put into place?

 

[StarWorms]

Because people forget about the bad people who die young and the good people that die old because that's what people like to expect.

We remember things which we believe to be out of the ordinary better.

 

[scipian]

Actually, those who do wrong die much more often than those who do well. Shootings, drug overdoses, heart attacks, blood clots, etc. A good Puritan life would keep you quite safe.

 

[WerBackIII]

Because good people die young, bad people die in the mid-ages... and the best people die much later than everybody else.

Because there's no cure for the cancer, maybe...

 

[Bozo Erectus]

The only question worth persuing is "Why shouldnt 'the good' get cancer and die young?"

*Adds to sig*

Oh wait, it's already there.

I'm not Bill Gates tho.

On Topic:

It may seem that way, because the media splatters sympathetic stories all over the place, while the bad guys get no mention of all. The media is a corrupt thing, it's impossible to get an exact story from them. You have to be there to understand. It may seem that it is always good people, because of how the media portrays it. But, know this, there are many bad people or future bad people suffering at the moment, we just don't know about it.

Whenever you find yourself asking why, remember the real answer is a question itself...


Why not?
