Everything that happen to us can be classified as follows:<\/p>\n
A favour<\/em> is something good that happens to us. e.g. we have food in front of us. Or we get a promotion in our job. Or we have a healthy body.<\/p>\n A test is something which we consider as ‘undesirable’ such as property loss, getting sick, your children dying, getting a leg crushed under a truck. Theory says God is testing your patience and loyalty.<\/p>\n Punishment (Karma) is a like a test but it is for people who have done a previous bad deed<\/em>. For example, if one person steals then falls sick, it will be said that because he stole, he is paying<\/em> for his action.<\/p>\n By definition,<\/p>\n “God is good.” (Quran, Bible, etc) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n If he created Satan<\/em> means he created a testing tool<\/em>.<\/p>\n Some tests<\/em> end in ugly ways. Children getting exploded in Syria, Palestine; Women getting raped; Dying in famines; People born handicapped; People being mentally retarded.<\/p>\n How can God be still good? Different religions try to solve ‘the equations<\/em>‘ by either saying: OK, there’s paradise<\/em> in which the people will finally rejoice. Others say it is because they did wrong in their previous lives that karma<\/em> is punishing them. Next life would be cool.<\/p>\n Planet earth, if considered alone, seems to be unfair<\/em>\/unjust<\/em>\/cruel<\/em>. Based on the discussion above, we see that an external entity<\/em> such Paradise<\/em> or Reincarnation<\/em> is needed as a parameter to solve the equation of life and to be able to yet have a good God<\/em>.<\/p>\n And for those who think the equation hasn’t been solved, theory says: <\/p>\n God’s wisdom is infinite (∞)<\/em>. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n It should be enough to overpower<\/em> any finite variables such as tests and punishments.
