All are risk factors for cv disease and can help paint a picture as to if this is something unusual or likely to have happened

What exactly am I wrong about? So you think god just says "frick it" while we are here and then passes judgement on us at the end of the ride?

It's pretty unfair that 3 year olds die from cancer before ever getting the chance to live but Charles manson lived to be 83 funded by the taxpayers... Get outta here with that shite.
No, it’s not. How can you know what that 3 year old’s Life would’ve been like had he not died “prematurely” in your eyes? We all face tragedy, that’s the fact of life, but you can’t blame God for all the bad things in the world and then turn around and not praise Him accordingly for all the incredible good that is in the world.

I don't credit God for either of those, fwiw.

I've seen young adults have strokes from smoking crack.

The kidneys are an amazing organ. They can function until they’re down to only about 3% or somethng like that. I guess that’s why it seems like they fail all of a sudden.

First, I'm sorry about your brother. That sucks. But God didn't give your bro a stroke. Everyone's living a sad existence if one believes that God is basically a puppet master, killing good people with cancer, tornadoes, etc. Sometimes terrible shite happens.
If one stays consistent, I can roll with it

I get the frustration. My brother died from cancer last year.
I suppose being mad at God is a human emotion in times of personal distress, but God never promised us a life free of difficulty, just eternity with Him upon our passing.
If Christians were never afflicted by difficulty or disease, everyone would be a Christian, but for the wrong reason.
It's OK to be angry over a personal situation, keep praying and encouraging your brother through this.

Not sure how this thread turned into a debate about God...
Prayers to your brother, OP. This is no way to start the year and I'm sure his doctors are doing everything in their power to help him.

Good people get mad at God. I've never thought about it like that until now.
Sorry to hear about your little brother. Prayers sent. I can only offer you what helped me to get through Cancer surgery and the difficult recovery that followed. I was angry. You know - why me Lord? As I lay in bed night after night with stitched up gut, and the pain, I agonized and tried to surrender and let go of my anger. Then one night about a week into my recovery about 2:00 am in the morning the message came to me, "Say the Prayer I taught you." That was all. That prayer is - Jesus I trust in You. It happened just that way. I'm no saint okay. I'm flawed. But I took that as a divine message. I said that prayer over and over and over. Eventually I felt peace and surrendered my suffering and united my sufferings with Our Lord's suffering on the Cross. I recovered from the surgery and have been cancer free for two and a half years. Each day is a gift.
Bottom line your brother needs you......most important he needs you to tell him you love him and that you will walk this journey with him.
God Bless You.....and be assured of my prayers.
Gloria Patri.

No he doesn’t say frick it. The human brain can’t begin to understand how God works. We also can’t comprehend eternity. I can’t prove to you that God is there but I can promise you that if you go to him with an open mind and heart you will feel his presence. At one time I questioned a lot of things concerning God but I went to him when I was broken and I promise you he is there and listening.

What actually happens is people praising God for the good, while saying he has no hand in the bad
If that is what makes one happy than good for them, but it seems so hypocritical to me
He either does both the good and the bad, or puts his hand in neither.

I know that may not bring comfort to most but it does give some perspective if nothing else
This is about the only sensical post in a thread full of grown men who believe that there is literally a man in the sky who decides their fate and ultimately grants them eternal life.
Sorry for your brother, OP. Hoping for the best outcome.

How old is your brother and what were his risks? Does he smoke? Was he a lifetime drinker? Did he eat right and exercise? Was he obese?
Forgot about stress. I had a stroke 5 years ago because of it.

I'm a staunch atheist. Yet I do not understand certain peoples' need to shite all over someone else's religious beliefs.
How about not being a douche?
