For all those who blame poverty and sufferings of humanity on God as an excuse not to acknowledge Him, here are hard facts that reveal how the pains of humanity is a result of the actions of man most exclusively than on any supposed negligence of God.
Aside from the fact that two current wars – between men – are causing suffering among millions of families, women and children, people cannot seem to relinquish the notion that God allows too much suffering in the world. Even to the point they blame Him for the self-inflicted wars against their own lives. To the point, however, economic data suggest that if poverty is rising, the reason is not individual foot-dragging, but corporate greed and thirst for power.
On the contrary, God gave humanity the resources and tools to cultivate and replenish the earth for all, not just a few, or to hoard and fight over. When the concept of survival of the fittest was introduced into the world, it gave place to selfishness and greed. This ideology should have been damned from the beginning.
The most current example is during the pandemic of 2020, when the government shutdown the economy and supplied families and businesses with supplemental income through government tax credits and loans. When workers were kept at home for months and businesses were forced to shut down, the corporate world began seething because it was not making any money.
Thousands of businesses closed even though there were loans given out for recovery. But the main players, such as oil and gas companies, the food industry, and many supply chain businesses that depend on overseas product suffered loses. Once the pandemic ended and the government reopened the economy, the corporations that lost money vowed to get it back.
This is when they raised prices on consumer goods including food, gas, housing cost and rent over and above what was needed to regain the loses. They claimed the supply chain was interrupted for too long and they needed to recoup. “In short, the rise in inflation has not been driven by anything that looks like an overheating labor market—instead it has been driven by higher corporate profit margins and supply-chain bottlenecks. The already-excessive power of corporations has been channeled into raising prices rather than the more traditional form it has taken in recent decades: suppressing wages.”
As a result, currently, many families still struggle to make a decent living even though wages have risen. When wages raised, however, it gave an excuse to corporations to raise prices. And they have not stopped nor returned prices to pre-pandemic levels. They now call it inflation and blame the current president when all the time it was them and their need for retribution for the loses they incurred.
In addition to the pandemic, the war in Ukraine also became an excuse for corporations to raise prices even after the end of the pandemic. According to a report from the Associated Press entitled “Food prices Soar to record levels on Ukraine war Disruptions,” it explains why food prices have increased and how various countries and their people are and will suffer hunger in the near future.
This suffering is not an act of God and has not gone unnoticed by God, the suffering is caused by the acts of man, his greed, and his thirst for power by means of war. God calls for peace but man constantly seeks reasons to go to war; and as a result: “Prices for food commodities like grains and vegetable oils reached their highest levels largely because of Russia’s war in Ukraine and the “massive supply disruptions” it is causing, threatening millions of people in Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere with hunger and malnourishment, the United Nations reported.”
But war is not the only reason researchers have blamed for the cause, but also weather and supply chain issues are included. Again, this is not the fault of an unloving God, but of the indifference of man. With constant warnings of climate change and worker exploitation by the wealthy, man has ignored these warnings to fulfill selfish needs and corporate greed.
One researcher of such events “told reporters in Geneva…he couldn’t calculate how much the war was to blame for the record food prices, noting that poor weather conditions in the United States and China also were blamed for crop concerns. But he said “logistical factors” were playing a big role.”
“There is a sharp deterioration of the food and nutrition security in the region,” he told reporters, saying 6 million children are malnourished and nearly 16 million people in urban areas are at risk of food insecurity.”
He goes on to discuss how the World Food Program has appealed for millions of dollars to meet the needs of 22 million people in certain regions of the world. This appeal of course, depends of the vote of actual men who have power to release the funds or not, which could save the lives of those suffering. This is not an act of God, but of man.
Also cutting into the daily lives of working people and the cost of living is the rising oil and fuel prices. Not only is it effecting people at the gas pump, but all fuel cost such as jet fuel, which raises the cost of travel, heating oil and diesel cost – that power homes and the trucking industry – have all risen causing the working family to struggle.
The resources of food and oil play a large role in the daily survival of people on this earth, which are abundant as natural resources of the earth for use from God, but stifled and manipulated by man for the sake of political purposes and greed.
“Those nations rely on affordable supplies of wheat and other grains from the Black Sea region to feed millions of people who subsist on subsidized bread and bargain noodles, and they now face the possibility of further political instability.”
As the researcher stated, this is political instability. Poverty and suffering has nothing to do with God, but everything to do with the politics of man. The politics of man decides who gets what and when, thus creating a trickle-down effect of which countries eat and which ones starve, which all comes down to who has the money and who does not.
