BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?

Q - Why can some very terrible "accidents", grave illnesses, horrible crimes, tragic deaths, etc happen to or against very godly, good and kind people, even morally upright religious leaders? Why doesn't God intervene to prevent such things from happening? A - The purest law of God is the law of nature. God created nature and ordained natural laws to govern it. Natural Law is above all man-made laws, including religious and moral law --- all of which came much much later than Creation. And one of Natural Law's most basic principles is Cause and Effect. Morality and religiosity, even righteousness or rightness, exempt no one from natural law especially the rule of Cause and Effect. If "terrible" things happen, there are causes that make them happen. When natural law is bypassed, over ruled or aborted, like when the natural and automatic "effect" is suppressed despite the "cause", that is called by believers as a miracle. A miracle is a suspension, bypassing, or superseding/cancellation of Natural Law. The author of Natural Law should not be always expected to suspend it to accommodate various, sometimes even conflicting, individual or personal human agenda.
