Well there goes your problem, you're countering something that these religions don't claim in the first place:
None of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc.) claim that God is pure love, butterflies and spreads happiness on earth.
Their scriptures explicitly talk about how life on earth is (also) filled with pain, disease and man-created problems.
I'm not sure why this criticism ("What kind of god gives kids cancer") on religion is so common in Western countries... it's a giant strawman that a simple question to a believer of such religion would dispell.
- HenryBemis 6y agoLet me reiterate. There is no god. If there is one and we have evidence of Her, let her show herself and lay a lightning on me. Oh wait, there is no god. Now then, most gods (or the fanatics that self proclaim that they are the chosen ones on this earth) tend to write books etc that either speak of love or of hate. I am the kind of stupid that I prefer the love over the hate. We can find a million reasons to hate one another. I prefer to go with the one million reasons to love one another. Thus my god = love. Either way, this discussion is moot since there is no god :)
