Here is how I see it personally.
God is giving us free will. He's not gonna come through the heavens and stop Hitler.
Our life on here is to judge where we will go in the afterlife.
And while many people suffer here, our time on this earth, in the grand scheme, is literally nothing compared to eternity. But it is also our most important.
I truly believe there is something after we die. I can't sit here and tell you what it is. But I know it's not nothing.
God has constantly interfered with humanity. why not stop someone like hitler or change his heart or do any number of things that do not necessarily interfere with free will?
free will also doesnt explain natural causes of suffering like natural disasters or freak aneurysms or birth defects, unless u believe in original sin
why does an eternity with god excuse suffering here? How does suffering play a role when we are of different religions or suffering causes some to sin? Or do u believe we all go to heaven or are judged differently regardless of religion?
in which case, how is it even fair that we are all dealt very different cards in life and we are all judged ultimately by how we choose to play it?
if soul A goes to heaven for living life A but wouldnt go to heaven if he lived life B, how is that fair?
the measuring stick of who goes to heaven makes little sense if god is judging our performance by how we deal with adversity
do people who suffer have a better chance of going to heaven?Suppose we're talking about people Who suffer all their lives. What would cause them to go to hell regardless of their suffering?
If eternity is the bigger picture and this world just a momentary hurdle, should we be hoping we live more suffering lives since god may judge us more Leniently? Does someone who suffers from poverty get judged less harshly for committing sin if his sin comes from desperation?
