(1)Some don't get that chance, like infants and children killed by disease, famine and natural disasters. (2)Do they get a free pass into heaven? If so, (3)why do they get to grow up in heaven without having to deal with the temptations and tribulations of this world while the rest of us poor ******** do? (4)Why do some people randomly luck out and are born in areas where they believe in the right religion and others are damned by being born into cultures that worship false gods? If the christian god is real as portrayed in the bible then (5)he plays favorites. (6)Do you really think the biblical god is a good role model for how people should behave?
(1)Some don't get that chance, True, in that they might not make it to the age of accountability, which in my understanding is the point at which we become as like gods, rulers of our own desires.
(2)Do they get a free pass , absolutely, because they never had the chance to become as like gods.
When we do become as like gods, separation (Death) becomes the penalty.
This is the point (Anger) that many have against God, asking "Why did you place me here in this hell hole"? "I didn't ask to be born"!
(3)
why do they get to grow up in heaven I don't believe they grow up in heaven, because I believe we are all of the same age, sort of speak. There is no time measurement in heaven, only here on earth.
And I believe that for those of us left here to endure suffering and pain, is because God wants us to learn to manage our godliness for the betterment of mankind.
Hence we try to make it a better place when a tragedy happens, and or try to take steps to protect ourselves and others from things we can control.
(4)
Why do some people randomly luck out, I have this belief, that what ever goes up must come down.
So, if we were lucky to escape extreme suffering, as the "UP" side, then the "down" side would have to be the giving of ourselves (Compassionately)to those who are not so lucky.
Love is born from the trials of life.
(5)
he plays favorites., I don't believe He does, in that He manages our training periods with obstacles, whether they be with people, animals,natural disasters, deceases.
In other words, using the natural turn of events as props.
I have allot more to add to this in my understanding of it, but would be to lengthy of an explanation.

Do you really think the biblical god is a good role model for how people should behave?
Absolutely!!! In the Old Testament dispensation, meaning the covenant made by God with Israel by Moses, God made it impossible for mankind to achieve a state of righteousness that would equal to that of God's by giving them the Ten Commandments.
It was an impossibility, thus mankind was under condemnation from the day one was born, meaning as becoming as like gods.
The role model was that under all those circumstances, the condemnation of all mankind, God sent His Son with His (God's) righteousness upon Him to deliver us all from the condemnation, by condemning Jesus in our place.
Jesus then demonstrated to us what God is all about by submitting Himself under mankind's rule, allowing mankind to judge, condemn and place Jesus to death without so much as Jesus saying a word against us.
Jesus did ask the Father to forgive us, for we knew not what we were doing to Him.
If that is not a true example of love, then there is none.
Blessings, AJ
