If God is real, why are some people born luckier than others?

Question

I know a 14-year-old boy who wears $600 designer shirts and thousand-dollar Louis Vuitton jackets. Obviously, his parents are wealthy; this boy hasn't worked a day in his life. He was born lucky. Meanwhile, I have a cousin in a developing country; also 14, she had to drop out of school to work and support her family. If God has a plan for everyone's life, why do some people have to suffer? To me, if it's not hard work, then it's luck and chance, no God involved.

I often don't like to speak on these types of topics because I know my words will be drowned out by religious people. I know God exist. I do not believe. I can see him with my own eyes. I know you don't understand. I know you are looking at it from a religious perspective. God is immoral. There is a modus operandi. Ignorance does not absolve you from the consequence of being ignorant to this modus operandi. That is the only aim the Bible has. To free those of their ignorance to this modus operandi. The Bible is ancient knowledge. But it isn't Gods words. I know it seems just like some old book. But not everything that is old is a joke. The great pyramids... No one knows to this day how it was built. Nobody can figure it out. People keep coming up with ideas on maybe how but no one can figure it out. It should be impossible. Anyway, the issue with the Bible is no one understands and the few who do are drowned out by the traditional religions. You do not see the promise being carried out by regular religious people do you? And if you do it is random. How is it also that non-religious people have great lives?

I've told you the answer. I will stop now because that is all you asked for; but don't take the Bible so serious; it is not Gods words; it is a book of science. As I've told you, if you jump off a build without knowing about the Law of gravity, you will not be absolved of the consequence. God does not care. God is immoral and on top of all of that everything is God. I know you don't understand but maybe that helps a little. I don't like to prove Gods existence because people don't want it to be real and belief is stronger than logic. But it is so easy to prove logically and physically. The hard part is proving some of the modus operandi because very few people know about it and only like 3% of those people even use it. You know people know what they should be doing but still don't do it because of habits. There is plenty of evidence there but you will not fully accept until you experience it. You have experienced gravity so you have no trouble believing in it. You have seen the Law of Conservation of energy to some degree and to that degree in which you've seen your belief in it correlates. Talking about water to ice to gas. That is probably all you have seen. Anyway okay. I hope you take this with an open mind.

No one should worry about other people and what they have, worry about yourself, God blessed that family and his parents worked hard for his nice clothes. Also tbh people shouldn't be blaming God for what other people have. I don't do this because I know better, I just don't care about people or what they have, it doesn't matter to me and people don't mean nothing to me, only God does because he gave me life with the help of my parents

This question is obviously from someone that has the wrong impression of God. Most people expect God to direct them, and when things don't work out, it's God's fault. We are put on this earth to grow. If you have been given everything you ever wanted, during this lifetime, what have you gained as insight? If you have had to work your ass off your whole life, tell me what things you have learned?

The rich kids don't have a clue what the value of a dollar is, whereas, the poor kid has learned where every single of his money goes and for what. The star athlete accepts that he has a great talent for sports, but that kid that is the last to be picked understands he has to work harder to get the same results. The rich kid has brain damage from banging his head against other people, the less talented kid is earning a good living without being himself up.

Look at your own lives, and see what you are capable of, and what you are lacking in. God gives you the freedom to choose who you want to be, with the physical or mental restraints given to you at birth. It's up to you what you do with your lives. Fret about what you don't have, or thank Him for what you do have and make the most of what you have.

Matthew 19:24 Context

21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 27Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

I pity the rich kid, not am jealous of them. Rich people can be extremely spoiled rotten. Largely rich people frequent have need of nothing while the people in need of something pray to Jesus. The sins of the world are of satan, why do people always seem to forget about the great deceiver?

God knows the strength and fortitude of every single soul on this planet. If* He calls some of us to go through more trying periods than others, He does so for good reasons and for our benifit. Now the fact that the world isn't fair foundationally isn't the Lord's doing but ours, this world is fallen because of the original sin. God is above space and time itself, He sees all outcomes of paths and choices in our lives, naturally then He knows better than we do what path to take even if it may seem "wrong" to us in the moment. But just as human children often protest and do not understand the actions of their parents, deeming it unjust or even cruel, so it is with us and the Father often.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
-Romans 8:28
The key word here being "all things work together for good". Even those happenings we experience as setbacks in the moment.

Because life has never been fair to anyone. If God has a plan than it won't be a plan that humans get because that would mean that God isn't smarter as humans.
It's easier for us to ask the questions where all the bad things are coming while we take all the good things happening to us for granted.

Everyone gets equally tested in their life. That rich kid suffers too, just in different ways.

Like... I bet he doesn't have enough wardrobe space for all those designer shirts he could afford, and I bet he has to wonder all the time whether his friends are genuine or only just hanging out with him because of his money.

Horrible.

I used to wonder about that when I was a kid. My parents told me that Santa gives the best presents to kids that were good. I wondered if that was true because I knew kids that were just plain evil that got the top of the line bike and all the other good toys.
It turned out they were the ones with the rich parents.

come on. even me as an atheist can emulate the bullshit reasoning christians give as an answer to this question: "god chooses to challenge people to bring out the best in them and not everyone needs the same ammount of challenge, cause not everyone is the same". that's what every christian appologetic will tell you.

The answers to your question are found in the Bible - if you “dare” to read it. I’ll warn you, though: the answer to your question is very inconvenient, in that it challenges our selfish nature.
happy hunting.

Luck is different from being rich or poor in my opinion. I'm poor but l consider myself as lucky, I have knowledge and somewhere to live etc. I'm happy and that's the most important thing. You know your value as a person is priceless 😉

"If god is real" I don't believe he is real. There is no proof. Unfortunately life isn't fair.

jahaims · Answer

He isn't real and luck is just another way for people to explain things they don't understand. Luck is a statistical probability.

You answered your own question it has nothing to do with luck. His parents made smarter life choices. So take it down and never be jealous of what the next person has instead be smart and go and get it for yourself therefore your kids can have that
