Religion and Conflict
- Christianity & suffering
- Life is a test- develop as good people by
helping others dealing with sufferng
through religion
- God knows the answer but humans do not; we should
follow Jesus, pray and help those who suffer (parable
of the Good Samaritan)
- Free will leads to evil and suffering-
we choose to hurt others.
- Evil- exists as a being(the devil or Satan)
- If there was no evil, we wouldn't know
what good is. It makes us realise
human weakness and try to be forgiven
for our sins, as well as learning to grow
spiritually/morally

who struggled, but always kept
his faith and belief
