Default Re: Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?

[ QUOTE ]
I think the problem that people have is the belief that there is some inherent meaning and order to the universe. It would be nice to think that there is, but I've seen nothing compelling to indicate that is the case.

Of course, belief in God doesn't necessarily add any "meaning" to the universe (this is one of the great fallacies of believers in my opinion). A supreme being creates a universe for the purpose of testing his creatures. Those who "believe" in Him, he takes to the afterlife with Him so they can serve and worship Him. Those who don't, He casts into an eternal fire. So ... where is the meaning again?
