Atheist here, If there is a God why doesn't the MF'er just SMITE all the bad people on earth? Murderer, Child abuser, Woman beater, etc... We supposed to learn from these horrible experiences ???????
I'm not God (though I often feel He should come to me for advice, apparently you do too ).
My interpretation of bad things in life is that is the only way we know about good things in life. Everything for everyone is relative to some baseline. If there were no bad, we would not be able to see good. If there were no up, we would not be able to see down. No left, therefore no right. No ying, therefore no yang. As we go through life, we see good, we see bad, and we understand the reference point in the middle. It helps us prepare for the ultimate good and bad: Heaven and Hell.
