Banter. Would you be happy to help me out with some confusion I have with religion?

I’ll say now, I think religion has been the greatest threat to mankind and it’s advancement since the ten commandments were allegedly chipped away with a hammer and chisel. Greater even than global warming, Nestle, Putin and covid combined.

If god is all seeing and all caring, why do small children contract bone cancer?

Our time as mortal beings is limited no one knows how long we’re here for.
There’s a purpose to every life regardless of how long.
It’s your choice to believe that when we leave here it isn’t the end.
No one is forcing anyone to believe that.
Why would you view that belief as being a threat to you.

This a great viewpoint. Humility.
Those that follow the religion of atheism/science are just as arrogant as those that believe that their religion is the chosen one.
Believing in a god, a power, an energy, has nothing to do with religion.
If you believe in a god, then it is real to you. And if it brings you comfort and peace, then it is powerful.
To believe in nothing, to believe that you are insignificant and worthless, and to defend that view so ardently, to the point of mocking anyone who believes otherwise, seems a very sad way to live your life.
