    Doesn’t mean they have to be passive. They could say God did this to provoke me to do something against this.

    I mean it’s similar to the question why god allows all this suffering and evil in the world. I think the common answer is to test us and to give us the opportunity to do good or something like that.

      That is convenient. This way you can explain anything you like. I think, Sam Harris said “it’s like playing table tennis without a net”.

        That’s the point of religion. Providing some kind of psychological comfort by giving answers to questions we can’t answer.
