What the World has Come to.

You know what I don't understand, those who are not believers and the first question they ask me every time they find out I am. And it goes a little like this, "So then why do bad things happen to those around the world, like genocide and tsunami's, and cancer?" This question in their minds seems like a legitimate one that is supposed to stump more or something. In all honestly I find it somewhat ignorant. I feel like no matter how someone believes the earth was created, we should all be in accordance that the earth wasn't filled with nasty toxins as it is now. Therefore the things that we put out into the world create storms and natural disasters. Then they go, " okay yeah I agree with that but, why would God allow those things to happen to his creation." I don't know if anyone can tell but we live in a free world. We can do what we please as we please without too many harmful repercussions. At least, that's what it looks like on a shallow level. Things don't always go our way, but of course non-believers wouldn't blame that on their own sin but instead they would simply say, it happens (well with more cursing). When we live in a free world and we don't believe in a higher power how can we just assume that the God of this world more powerful than imagination would make our lives all honkey-dorey and nothing bad would ever happen. If something is so powerful they make the rules, and honestly the rules are fair. We want a free world, we got one. But with that we can't be protected from all of the evils. It's selfish of us to think that we should be taken care of all the time and believe what we want and do what we want. If that wouldn't fly with your parents as a child, do you really think the Lord of the universe would comply with that? I do not think so. Then the conversation continues to, " Fine I guess that makes sense, but there is still cancer Courtney, how do you explain that?" Sometimes I get to thinking, and I try to come up with the most logical conclusions for the questions I ask myself. But I truly do believe that the things we put out into the world like, chemicals, basically things that are man made not natural. Are the reasons there is sickness in the world. As time goes on we are erode the Earth and all of it's natural pure beauty. So the next time someone tries to test us, and our beliefs let's not just stand up for ourselves. But instead we should be prepared, and have well educated answers for their questions. Though we are on the Lord's team and one day He will prevail. We have to fight the good fight, every day for the rest of our lives.  ( I cannot believe I just wrote good fight, no but seriously, that is not like me at all).
