No one "knows" there is a God. No one "knows" there is not a God. It is a choice. Because of the fact the question exists, every individual is forced to choose between believing in the existence of God or the nonexistence of God. There are many, logical, sensible, very good reasons to choose to believe in the existence of God. There are no, good, logical, sensible reasons to choose to believe in the nonexistence of God.

The question of the existence/nonexistence of God is a 50/50 issue. Whatever you choose to believe concerning eternal rewards, eternal punishment, or nothing after death is a 50/50 issue. Before any of you Believers/Nonbelievers tell me you are more than 50% sure God exist or does not exist, be prepared to tell me and I do not mean "Predict", "Guess" I mean "Know" exactly, in intricate detail, what the Stock Market is going to do three weeks from Friday and be ready to take my money and get the highest return or personally guarantee double my money back. Feelings, emotions, and theory are not evidence of fact and knowledge of anyone's immediate future, extended future, or life after death.

I am so fed up hearing these people ask every time after a tragedy why God allows such a terrible thing to happen. The answers I hear seem to always try to show proof that God exists and it is someone's fault. This always seems to be the question from those who choose not to believe in the existence of God. This always seems to be the answers coming from those who choose to believe in the existence of God. Neither question nor answer is relevant concerning this issue. The people asking the question are trying to confirm their decision to believe there is no God and the people answering the question are trying to prove there is a God. Neither of which has happened nor is going to happen.

The very idea of one questioning why God would allow such tragedies to happen is in total contradiction to the belief of the one doing the questioning, there is no God. If you do not believe there is a God why are you questioning the reason God would allow such a tragedy to happen. That in itself makes absolutely no sense.

The answer is very simple. God did not allow and does not allow any tragedy of any sort to happen. Tragedies happen because Human Beings make them happen. Tragedies happen because Human Beings cause them to happen. There are thousands of reasons people decide to do bad things or cause horrific tragedies to happen. God is not one of them.
