The Notion Of An Apathetic God

Let's hear an argument from a famous athiest, Peter Singer:

Already done in heaven:

It is wrong to say God does not do anything. He started doing something to prevent suffering in His Kingdom in heaven.

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

How could there be suffering in the world?

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

The story goes like the earth has become a rehabilitation center for those who were deported out of heaven. It's like a correctional prison for those serving their sentence for the crimes they have committed. Now if you believe the Father in heaven has not done anything to end suffering on earth, then what Satan is doing on earth is perfectly working to make you think that way.

The last time He sent His Son healing the sick, blind, the paralytic and raised the dead back to life He was tortured and murdered, and people say it did not happen. People ask why send His Son to suffer on the cross when He could just fixed everything at the click of the hand? The coming of the Son of God reveals the true nature and character of our Soul. If you could not accept Him and the message that He brings, that does not make you deserve the heaven that is to come. If God will just fix everything and bring us all to heaven, what will we do there, sabotage the perfection there again? No way.

The pain, suffering and death in this world tell us that we have done wrong. Don't think you can make a short cut to heaven. It's unfair to the people there who have maintained their fidelity until now.
