  Does God care?

  Is it part of his plan?

  Does it matter to Him?

  I don't know.

  Do you?

  Does He care? I like to think so - but I might be wrong.

  Part of his plan? Does he have a plan other than that of 'salvation'? I don't think so, I don't believe in predestination.

  Does it matter to him? Again I like to think so - but I might be wrong.

  He might care enough to give mankind the resources to sort out any problems - but again, it's up to us to use them, but like you say it ain't that simple - but I don't see how 'we' can blame God for 'our' inaction.

  I don't believe in a co-dependent God/mankind setup, that's why I say we can't expect him to fix everything for us, the solution is often very much in our own hands.

  No one is blaming Him.

  We're saying He's nowhere to be found.

  We're saying He's nowhere to be found.

  That's what I'm saying though - maybe he's right there kicking us in the ass saying "I've given you all you need, get out there and fix it!"

  Maybe he's also in the faces of the sick, the starving, the refugees, the homeless...

  saying "You have all you need, why aren't you helping me?"

  Like I said, the suffering are pawns.

  Precisely!

  In my view they're pawns in man's game! (because I don't believe in predestination)

  From an atheistic view - technically it should be the same answer since there is no God!

  I wonder if we broadly agree although 'tackling' it from different angles?!
