If god only helps those who help themselves, what exactly is god helping me with?

if You do the preparation He sets up the opportunities

>>33264177
Is that why millions of starving kids die in third world countries? Because they didn't prepare?

>>33264130 (OP)
all of these empty sayings are just a way to make you work on yourself bro, there isn't a god but the work you did on yourself will be worth it and eventually some good thing will happen by mere chance and religious people will say it's the will of god.
just work on yourself and being better.

>>33264184
>muh starving kids argument
wow, god doesn't exist

>>33264184
>starving children means there's no benevolent God

God calls his own children back unto him all the time and refines all souls through suffering
maybe the only way a soul could live without sin is to die a hungry child

your life is just a season, a phase for your soul

>>33264224
Ok where was god when your mom died of breast cancer then? Where was god during 9/11? Was he just chilling on his throne cause he loves to watch people die for no reason?

>>33264233
>refines all souls through suffering
That's the kind of bullshit abusive parents always say. "It's for your own good."

>>33264233
>pray to god so that your loved one doesn't die
>just have faith...
>your loved one dies anyways
>oh they're in heaven now they're with god
kek can't win either way lmao

>>33264130 (OP)
There is no god anon

>>33264238
do a neck bridge right now and tell me that shit doesn't hurt

>>33264242
>practice sorcery
>God doesn't listen
wtf?!?

>>33264234
you can't deny or affirm the existence of god through these pointless things bro, human suffering is nothing in the great scale of things, have you seen the size of the planet compared even to our nearest star
it's like focusing on every ant you step on by mistake instead of the health of the whole ant colony or something
the proof that god doesn't exist comes from antropological studies, all human groups tried to explain the unexplainable in their own way and before monotheistic religions came most atributed powers to inanimate objects and tried to parlay with destiny and chance through offerings or rituals, it's just people trying to tackle destiny like you'd tackle making a mean, rationalizations of chance and statistics.
angry atheists are the worst kind of atheists because they make the rest of people think the rest of us are reneguing of the idea of a god out of anger or a sense or injustice or something when it's just rational.
also many of them go back to being religious once they get sick and recover or get a good job or some other good tidings of chance.

>>33264254
>no man prayer isn't a vending machine
yes this is what you tell the parents of the dead children
>god just isn't in the mood to save your ass right now hehe
>enjoy your crippling terminal illness hehe

>>33264234
>god is a person sitting on a throne and should save people in trouble
Sounds like those asian youtubers who put puppies in snake pits and "save" them while filming it.

>>33264270
terminal kids spent their entire previous past lives wishing they didn't have to work or wishing they could be a kid forever

>>33264259
>go back to being religious once they get sick and recover or get a good job or some other good tidings of chance.
So basically you give credit to god for all the good stuff, but put your head in the sand for all the bad stuff?
