If God exists, and he is mercifull and good, how come my brother, who is twice the man i am, is in the hospital bed instead of me?
Deus vult.
saved thumbnail, lol.
bump

>who is twice the man i am
That's why. Obese people tend to have more health issues.
>>70679229
You can't self bump here, Alberto.
>>70679229
Ask God.
>>70679229
I am not religious, but still.
Because God decides what is good, not you. God wants your brother to be in hospital, that means that your brother being in hospital is great.
>>70680613
Yes, i can, and i did
>>70680360
funny american
>>70680823
Yeah, being in a near death situation is really exceptonal (pro-tip: He is not out of danger)
>>70679229
because you are an eternal moor
>>70681190
you are literally portoguese
>>70681260
No, i dont have any filthy moor blood. My grandfathers came from italy fleeing from ww2
>>70679229
It could be that the Lord is punishing you for being a Christ-hating genderqueer.
"What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" Job 2:10.
>>70681134
It's exceptional if God says so, if God tells you raping babies is good, it means that it's good. that's how God works.
>>70681134
>Not knowing god tests your brother's faith
>Thinking life is about everything in the realm of god
>Unironically bashing god for giving us test to overcome ourselves

>not moorish niggers
>>70679229
God wants him sooner than you. You're clearly not ready to die
>>70681379
that's curious, where in Italy?
>>70681558
Maybe in sicily. But they came from Pordenone wich is in the north, both had blue eyes and light hair
>>70681776
A small city called pordenone.
>>70681558
I would reply properly but then I remember the US is a 60% ""white"" country ruled by a negro so I avoid adding further embarrassment to the whole thing.
>>70679229
Life and death have nothing to do with divine favor.
>>70681869
You're part eggplant.
There is no God.
Only Hitler

Posting once more so you can admire my glorious ID. Admire it. You know you want to.
Ah, the favorite argument from an atheist. Just stay quiet for a while and really listen to what the Lord has to say.
>>70679229
We don't know G-d's calculations.
>>70679229
"Since God is the highest good, He would not allow any evil to exist in His works, unless His omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil."
>>70679229
Because you are both sinners
>>70679229
God isn't real.
If your brother dies, it's because he was weaker than the rest of us.
Praying to that can of green beans your mum shoves up her snatch before dinner every night would be just as beneficial as praying to some fake God.
>>70681790
North Italy is still nigger. You're still a filthy mongrel.
>>70679229
>God is involved with everything and decides everything that happens
Well that defeats the whole idea of free will.
>>70682260
You know. I love that everybody depicts Augustine as a white guy,
>>70682560
He was born in North Africa near the coast, right? He could've been white.
>>70682421
Exactly, if god is omnipotent then we don't have free will, only his will.
>>70682631
His mom was coal black, dude.
>>70679229
1- free will
2-Because the giving or taking of life or quality therein is not objectively 'good' or 'bad' or 'merciful' to a being that exists outside a 'living' spectrum. If there were a God or God figure that exists outside the finite realm of what we consider 'living', then death itself ceases to be a negative state so much as a transference of sorts.
>but if God exists, why do bad things happen to good people?
Because no God has ever promised to be a divine arbiter of holiness and justness on Earth, but rather one of the afterlife. If he did, there would be no 'good' people because nobody would ever be tempted or tested to do wrong, and therefore we'd all just be incredibly content, neutral beings that never had to develop a sense of right and wrong.
>>70679229
>asking this retarded question.
When you die just ask God why.
>>70682714
>God is omnipotent
truly the worst meme in religion.
>>70682726
>Scholars believe that Augustine's ancestors included Berbers, Latins and Phoenicians.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustine_of_Hippo#Childhood_and_education
He was probably Middle Eastern looking.
>>70679229
Awww that sucks man
good shit to your brother
>>70679229
Because God doesn't care about physical body, retard.
>>70682787
"we'd all just be incredibly content, neutral beings that never had to develop a sense of right and wrong" ....whats wrong with leaving it like that?
Oh I get it. Its because that would be very boring for God. Glad to know you are your creators' "play thing" and that he allows you to go through the pointless struggle for His own amusement.
>>70679229

It's all a test. If you truly believe in God then you know in the end you and him will end up in a better life.
>>70679229
>>70679229
maybe to make you a better man,
to prove that he his a good man and can go through anything
to influences someone elses life
fo the lulz
who knows but i love god and life is so much easier when you focus on him instead of having existential crises
>>70684489
honestly tho i believe god doesn't do anything to affect this world any longer, he stopped interfering, and just observes or left us
let evil overtake the world to truly see who will still believe in him
