Why Doesn't God Help Everyone?

By Leo Gura - September 22, 2026

If God exists, why doesn’t God help every individual? Why doesn’t God just give every human on Earth a bar of gold to eliminate poverty? Because God is so selfless that God does not even experience poverty as a problem. For poverty to be a problem, you need to have a sense of self with a very strong bias that says, “Being poor is a problem. I need gold to fix it.” You might say, “Okay, that sorta makes sense because poverty is a rather subjective, socially-constructed notion, but what about suffering? Why doesn’t God heal children with cancer?” Again, you are not seeing how deep this issue of bias and self goes. God does not heal children with cancer because God is so Good, so unbiased, that God does not perceive cancer or human suffering as problems that need fixing. These are only problems for a selfish, biased mind, but God is a Mind without self and without bias. “But why would God be so cruel?!” No, God is not cruel, you are just selfish and perceive neutrality and objectivity as something wrong. “Things being wrong” is a construct of your sense of self.

God is the Creator, the Source of all bias, as such, the Source of bias cannot itself be biased. Out of selfishness you are asking the Source of all things to be biased to favor you. But that’s precisely what it cannot be. The answer is: Being cannot revolve around your narrow needs. Being has to be universal. God is so selfless that the notion of “problems” does not exist for God. Problems only exist for a finite self. Humans misunderstand God because they think way too humanly and project all of their biases and selfishness onto God. God is a very inhuman thing. Think of God like a black hole. Does a black hole care about how your life is going? How your children are doing? How much money you’re making? Who you are sleeping with? Your health condition? No. If you fly too close to a black hole, it will kill you. Does that make the black hole evil? No. It’s just that not everything is about you.

The Source of all things cannot care about human problems. Why would God care more about you than about a cockroach? Why should God help you but not cockroaches? But if God helped cockroaches, you would complain that God is against you. But if God helped humans but not cockroaches, then cockroaches would have legit grievance against God: “Why do you love humans more than cockroaches?”

Do you understand that true Love means God cannot love humans more than cockroaches? That’s true Love! But humans are so damn selfish they call this evil. In your mind you must surely be more worthy of love than a cockroach, but in Truth’s mind, everyone is equally worthy of love. Humans want love for me, but not for thee.

When you are a selfish motherfucker, true Love does not compute. Love is an existential thing, which means that it cannot be left to the whims of humans. Imagine if God’s love was as flakey, fickle, and biased as humans?

Humans want a monopoly on God’s Love — which is evil. Humans want to weaponize God to destroy their enemies, which of course God cannot indulge because God is Good. Stop trying to rope God into your evil plans. Like a good parent, God does not play favorites.

Another way to say this is: Love is universal.

Also, note, that human problems cannot be solved with a bar of gold, or any material object. There is no physical object that God can give you to solve your true problems. Most human problems are mental, not physical.
