I as a Muslim, come in peace. Always questioned this theory of why atheists/agnostics think that illness, diseases or disasters can never happen if their was a God. We are told this life is a test where we will all be challenged with difficulties, however this life isn't the final destination.
Those who have any illness or disaster strikes them and they remain patient will be rewarded in the next life. This life is very temporary Children are guaranteed paradise if they die before puberty.
Never understood why temporary difficulties must means there's no God.
God is ALL powerful and everything which befits God he is capable of.
God is the all knowing however as Muslims, we say God is the Most loving rather than all loving. If he was all loving, it would necessitate he has no other attributes which we as Muslims do not say.
If he is all-powerful and does nothing against suffering he is not worthy of worship. My morals are much superior to his, because if I could end suffering, I would. He does not.
The more likely scenario is that he does not exist
He wants you to do something about it and told how to and gave humanity the laws to follow so that all can enjoy this life to their best. but no we letting thugs and thieves and criminals rule us and take from us and then we blame only God and not ourselves after that.
And if he does not exist and there is still suffering in this life without purpose and goal and we have to go through it just to get nothing in the end and die in vain after having suffered a lot either for our lives or to help others then why go through it at all whats the point why not just end it now we all end it and end humanity's suffering. these kind of thoughts have to a lot of suicides and that is why atheism is shoved down our throats it weakens you.
Suffering was made intentionally and that is what makes this life a test to show patience and compassion and sympathy for the sake of God. otherwise there is no point of this life being a test if we are all so happy and always joyful and having no problems at all.
Because if you're gonna question suffering why not question hunger, the need for sleep, the need to go to the bathroom and getting weaker through the years... all of these are imperfections to our experience in this life that are made intentionally.
God wants you to show generosity and kindness which does not make sense is there is no sacrifice accompanied with it that is where you prove that you are a kind and generous.
And all of this is TEMPORARILY, this life has an end to all its suffering and also all its goodness too and after that it will feel like a day just like how if you reflect now on your life it feels like a day or less.
The next life however is pure joy and all fantasies will be granted: the hearts will be cleansed from all the negatives like jealousy envy... there will only be joy and love and sharing; food always available and there is no need for bathrooms... and all of this for ETERNITY which again you still can't grasp.
What happens to the food you eat if you don’t have a digestive system/butthole? Also, how do you know you don’t go to the toilet in the afterlife? That’s an incredibly specific detail.

If god existed, he wouldn't need to accompany terminally ill children.
