Does God Make You Angry?

Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!”

(Job 2:9) NKJV

Have you ever been asked this question: If God is a God of love then why does he allow little children to suffer? Some people focus their anger at God on questions like: why do innocent children get sick and die of incurable diseases?

This is a tricky issue and it is little comfort to grieving family members to be told that it’s just the process of genetic decay ravishing the human genome. Such as it is, it is a technically accurate answer. Some people ask things like: why did God create cancer? He didn’t. Cancer is a direct consequence of sin, because the need to reproduce allows DNA replication errors and the copying of mutations that occur as the result of harmful radiation. There are so many ways to understand it.

Devolution is change in allele frequency in a population, combined with accumulated mutations and DNA replication errors, that causes genomic decay, sickness, and loss of variability over time. It includes both macro and micro evolution. It began at the fall of man in Genesis 3:16.

– Devolution, definition

Most of the people who are vocal about how much they hate God because of the injustice that he allows in the world are self-professed atheists. Oddly enough, their anger at God is cited as the reason why they’re atheists. There’s a logical fallacy here.

• IF God doesn’t exist…
• THEN why are you angry at Him?

Pointing this out seems to make them even more angry, so it’s best not to. It’s fascinating that the online personas and presence of atheists is inherently theocentric.
