Why Do People Often Say "God Has Abandoned Or Forsaken Us"?

I’m not a believer in this corrupt attribution that some humans give to God. For me, God is solely the source of all wisdom, virtue and transcendent love. And with that definition, “forsaking” is not possible. - John Bruss

People are focusing only on the negative things in the world that is in front of them. We forget what is written in the holy books, the holy stories. We often get disappointed of the bad behaviour of people and getting bad results of our hard work, or are unable to find excitement in life. What we forget is to find the good positive things also happening around us. We don't indulge in those activities so we are not aware of them. We only know what the news show us or the bitching and gossiping. And they only sell negative impacts of the inhumane acts mostly to attract attention.  You fill find negative energy every where. But you will also find positive energy at those places or thoughts. It is what I choose to believe, what I choose to act upon. I believe even at bad time we just need to keep working and have faith in God and ourselves. If we are working, it will get better sooner or later. The negativity in the way will always ruin things but I am the one who is choosing to focusing on it or ignoring it. - Priyanka Kumari

God has not forsaken this world, rather man failed to manage it according to God's laws and precepts.

God is always good but man's heart is inherently evil. It's absurd that when man is living a life according to his desires and as long as he is contented, he puts God in one corner on standby in case man requires of Him again.

God is good when man is trouble-free.

Then comes a crisis and suddenly man is displaced from his convenient life, and now to him God is an angry apathetic deity.

It's amusing how we attribute everything that is happening with humanity to God. We have seemed to forget about our role in the picture.

While God is the supreme owner of this earth He gave man a specific role to manage and protect His creation. But as man increased in knowledge not only that he neglects his responsibility of being a steward but seized the role of God Himself and directly defied His laws.

The very thing that God gave us to preserve is the same thing that is causing harm to us now. The animals and other species that were assigned to us to dominate are the once dominating us now by becoming the sources of pathogens that cause sickness and diseases unknown to mankind.

Man believed a lie that God is depriving us of something that we need. Therefore we assumed the role of God and invented things that were supposed to satisfy our desires but rather it just generated an insatiable craving to have more than what we need.

God didn't forsake this world and He never will. But He will not likewise insist Himself to interfere in our circumstances if we won't allow Him to.

God is not unconcerned, we just don't want to listen. There is nothing wrong with what He gave us to preserve we simply failed to manage it rightfully so.

God the owner is not furious that He just took off and leave all this mess with us. He is still in the corner where we left Him waiting for us to cry out to Him and submit to His authority again. And then He will function as Lord the owner and creator of our home called earth and help us heal and restore what has forfeited, the glory of creation. - MP. Guevarra
