Comments on: Is God Mad at Us? https://bahaiteachings.org/god-mad-us/ Personal perspectives inspired by Baha'i teachings Wed, 16 Jul 2025 20:46:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.2 By: Robert MARK https://bahaiteachings.org/god-mad-us/#comment-69652 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 20:46:40 +0000 http://bahaiteachings.org/?p=38621#comment-69652 The only Creation of God that is not Perfect is Man. We must learn and understand God’s Love. We are given great power – how we use that power is the measure of our understanding of God’s Love – if we use that power to preserve and develop ourselves and the perfect world to God’s Desire, we have succeeded in understanding God’s Love

Hi, Marina! We’re certainly not helping it, especially with the desertification of so much of our natural grasslands.

Yes, humans have done a lot to change things, mostly turning much of the grasslands on this planet into deserts, and there’s nothing hotter than deserts, which change the climate. Also, deserts don’t absorb much carbon since few plants will grow on them. This is a huge problem, one that could be corrected if people and governments provided the means to do so, using livestock and other means to restore the soil. Good soil absorbs tons of carbon and provides a balance of nature.

As my Father used to say: “You burn your arse, you get to sit on the blisters!” As humans struggling to evolve beyond our course aniamal natures, if anything, I suspect God is simply allowing us the opportunity to learn from our mistakes. Unfortunately, we humans need constant reminding!

It has been going on for millions of years; for 12 years, Solar Flares effect the earths weather and then for the next 12 yrs, it calm down. Nothing has changed except for the humans, as intruders, we have decided to build home in the areas that will flood (Huston or Miami), or live on Islands that are in the path of Hurricanes. Take for example the Islands of Philippines: Every year they get a Typhoon and every year people die and buildings get destroy, and every year they rebuilt and it goes on and on. WHY? Because we are attached to our homeland and pray to GOD to send the storm to another Island next year and spare us. Crazy
What God has to do with this?

God knows how we will act, but that is not the same as Him causing us to do what we do. I compare it to the TV weather forecasters . They can say a storm is coming because they have learned to observe and assess multitude factors to make this statement, but that in no way means the forecaster has caused the storm. God warns us where our actions will lead us because He is all knowing and knows that “A” will lead to “B”, but that is not the same thing as Him sitting on His throne somewhere in the sky and saying, “I will cause “B” to happen because of “A”.”

Both is equally true. This whole world, as far as perception, is a mirror of our own consciousness. The macrocosm is as the microcosm and vice versa.

Thus any hurricanes that develop will have the potential to be much more severe, more often. So we need the collective power of world unity to bring solutions to this mighty problem. It is complex. It won’t be easy, and it will require real cooperation on the part of everybody. Of course God isn’t mad at us, but I do feel that He desires for us to be happy and safe on this precious home He gave us.

Interesting thought. Could be.
