I know that since time began, people have invented deities, "Gods", to try to help them explain what they didn't understand, if you choose to believe in your chosen "God" rather than face reality, that is entirely your prerogative,but can anyone explain to me why an all seeing, loving , omnipotent "God" would give a child cancer? And please don't give me that hackneyed excuse that he's "testing your faith".

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

Is this supposed to prove that there is a god?
Maybe some divine intervention to stop war, disease, poverty etc. might be a bit more convincing

I like this  2,700 yrs old. Seal Impression With King Hezekiah's Name Discovered in Jerusalem The Judean king, the biblical-era Hezekiah son of Ahaz, was a vassal of Assyria and borrowed its royal symbolism of a winged sun and ankhs. ![[Linked Image]](http://cdn.timesofisrael.com/uploads/2015/12/hu151202_Mazar_Tadmor_big-635x357.jpg) http://www.haaretz.com/jewish/archaeology/.premium-1.689594

I look at the world and the universe the stars and the planets and think CREATION then I think CREATOR then I think MIGHTY CREATOR. Then if only "one"- I think ALMIGHTY CREATOR who I call GOD. I then wonder if ,as part of Gods creation, we can communicate with GOD. Despite all the beautiful and awesome things in the world I look at all the bad in the world and wonder what if anything went wrong. Then I understand why scholars wrote "we have all fallen short of GODS purposes if we were made according to GODS design. I am then faced with moral conscious questions and decisions of what is right and wrong.
In one sense we don't need "religion" then on the other hand "religion" can just be the gathering of people with like minds---similar to politics
