在“到底有没有神?“里,苏颖智牧師说到:
“无辜者受苦又怎样解释? 这个问题影响我最深,导致我七年都不肯信主。休漠(David Hume)说∶a. 若神是全能,神能制止无辜者受苦。b. 若神是慈爱,神应制止无辜者受苦。c. 但世界充满无辜者受苦。所以∶a. 神非全能,他爱莫能助;或是b. 神非慈爱,他在玩弄人类;或是c. 根本没有全能慈爱的神。”
苏颖智牧師的解惑是:
“上述反对神存在的理由中,其实都有一些逻辑的问题。例如上述休漠的逻辑,第一前题没有问题,神绝对有能力制止无辜者受苦。主要问题出自第二前题上,神是慈爱的,但不表示他一定要制止无辜者受害、受苦才称得上慈爱。
首先,许多时候人借着苦难才更加看到自己的需要,才去亲近神。其次,人往往是借着苦难,才能够去帮助那些同样在苦难中的人。第三,我们往往借着苦难才更加成熟、成长。我们若一直一帆风顺时,好像长不大一样。但当一进入社会,磨过、碰过钉子时,会发现自己忽然智慧增长,成熟了许多。让我们成为一个更加能够去服事别人的人,不再只是倚靠别人来服事我们。。。。“
我不知道多少人会因此而豁然开朗。也许我是太愚笨,或太缺少灵性,但我不得不问:如果无辜者的苦难只是为了彰显神的意愿“借着苦难才更加看到自己的需要,才去亲近神。其次,人往往是借着苦难,才能够去帮助那些同样在苦难中的人。第三,我们往往借着苦难才更加成熟、成长“以便今世还能得救,那那些今世无辜死去的人呢? In particular,那个被五个美国大兵轮奸后残暴杀害的14岁伊拉克小姑娘(Abeer Qassim al-Janabi (1991-2006))以及同时被杀害的她的父母和六岁的妹妹呢?
[The Mahmudiyah killings and gang-rape of a 14-year-old girl by U.S. troops occurred on March 12, 2006, in a house to the southwest of Yusufiyah, a village to the west of the town of Al-Mahmudiyah, Iraq. Five United States Army soldiers of the 502nd Infantry Regiment were charged with the crimes: (i) Sgt. Paul E. Cortez, (ii) Spc. James P. Barker, (iii) Pfc. Jesse V. Spielman, (iv) Pfc. Brian L. Howard and (v) Pfc. Steven D. Green (whom the Army discharged before the crime's discovery). Abeer Qasim Hamza was raped and murdered, after her family was murdered: her mother, Fakhriyah Taha Muhsin, 34; father, Qasim Hamza Raheem, 45; and six-year-old sister Hadeel Qasim Hamza.[1] As of September 2009[update], Spielman and Green have been convicted and three others have pled guilty.

难倒Abeer和她家人今世被残暴杀害只是为了让他们来世“更加看到自己的需要,”“去亲近神”或者“去帮助那些同样在苦难中的人“吗?? I certainly cannot second this!! Instead, I have to, just have to, echo the following crying and questioning from someone else mourning the death of Abeer!!!
My Soul Cries / Hector Rubalcava (new friend )
Dear Abeer,
I find so difficult to understand the god that religions worship and defend his existence. According to most religions, this god is powerful, knows everything, he can listen to every single one of us, and he can be everywhere at the same time.
I question all the religions and their god himself, why didn't he prevent this horrible thing that happened to you, if he was watching you suffering and crying and did not do anything to protect you, he has become an acomplice of those rotting-alive monsters.
Why the Christian god, the one who preaches love, step aside and let those beasts eat you alive.
Where was Jesus?, where was his mother Mary who was 14 also when she got pregnant by this god?
Where are all those who preach on behalf of this god? where are all those who boast about to be religous and spiritual? Where are those pious priests, nuns and bishops and their leaders?
What is porpoise of these religions if little inocent children suffer horrible attacks by others who were raised in a society that claims to live under christian values, they even say One Nation Under God.
Religions have become obsolete because none are serving to protect angels like you. Those living-rotting beast were kids like you, whose parents took them to a church on a sunday and heard about that god and still didn't grow with values of respect to other humans or respect to life itself.
I do not want to blame only god and his different religions where he gets all the worship and tributes. All mankind seems to be in great danger, something really evil is turning children into beasts like these, to destroy and to make suffer innocent people.
This time my beloved Abee, I am not going to pray to this god, I am going to demand his followers and his churches to make their god come to the earth and give some explanation.
In some desperation I am going to ask people to become guardian angels and protect a 14 year old child on your behalf and teach him/ her good values and to denounce the hypocracy of religous people and promote change in all the societies to raise healthy children and not ever become beasts like these ill-born ones. |
