I'm finding it hard to maintain my faith after stumbling across this ... If God loves everyone, how could this be a part of his plan?

I guess you avoided all the problems whit parasites, viruses, bacterias , heat and cold problems on earth that will kill you whiout water or right cloths (none that god will provide)(Science will provide you whit ways of finding water(cactus), and creating cloths from seals to spider silk.'

Not to mention the millions starving for living in places where its hard to grow stuff, and wars and divide between lands has cut off food supplies to keeps up a artificial location for living.

I mean even las vegas is litteraly in a desert, and were wasting huge ammounts of resources to keep it running.

Miami that's right next to the sea on all sides are suffering from watershortages because its simply not just to convert sea water to fresh water... and so on and so on.

Now if you see things from a Christian perspective where Jesus trumps everything, belive in him and you should go to heaven. that means you can basicly cheat\scam your way trough life as long as you remember to ask for forgiveness.. not to mention if you read Christian comics (don't ask) where I see lots of people selling their souls, living life for many years then on death row they regreath it then magicaly some person reveals or tells them they just need to belive in jesus then they go to heaven.. making a contract whit the devil nullified, where they get all the good parts from making the deal in the first place and avoiding the cost on death... woopdedoo, dunno what that's gona teach everyone...

I myself have left Christianity for religions such as Buddhism (respect everyone and yourself), and Taoism.

I still pay attention to Christianity as its occationaly the lesser of 2 evils that id have living next door as it doesn't impose as much as islam (I have no good encounters whit islam exept its moderate people I found it much to easy to read into Koran that leads into conflict whit non belivers in a lot of passages, I can easely see how moderates who ignores these can lead to their children or friends of them converting easely can land on a more direct understanding on the religion and thus ignoreing the hadit as its not part of the core religion, and therefor in the eyes of us look like terrorism, but its simply them following the text that says how to deal whit non belivers or people who leave the islam faith.
