Paper God and Moral Suffering Regardless, there is one word that in a perfect religious world seems to be the answer to any question about religion that cannot be explained, and that word is faith. Or in other words, trust. Followers of religions have faith in the ideas expressed by the religion, and in a perfect world one must not question the mysterious and at some times morally questionable acts of God. However, time has reached a certain point where it seems many people have accepted the fact that not all works of nature are intertwined with the religions they remain faithful to. For example, if a survey was conducted on a random group of religious people presenting the question “where does rain come from?” how many people would respond “God is crying”? This may be a vague example, but it represents the point I am trying to make in that I feel like a majority of people tend to be members of a religion, but are selective in what elements they believe in and are generally intelligent enough to be able to understand some of the random and unplanned elements of nature on our Earth. However in a perfect world, we are taught that everything happens for a reason and what does not kill us makes us stronger. It is my intention to argue that believing in an Abrahamic God is compatible with our awareness that a great deal of widespread and profound suffering has its origin in nature and befalls innocent people based on the premises that I previously mentioned and also the fact that the nature of our planet is part of a bigger picture, of which we cannot fully understand, and also that these religions promise a utopian, blissful afterlife. As I said before, religion would not work without faith. Abrahamic religions set out to firmly establish right from the beginning that their Gods are all powerful and wise and you must trust the religion, better yet (as it is so commonly referred to) believe in it. In a perfect world, religion is devotion, trust, faith and loyalty....
