Why We Have to Have Faith in the God despite Pandemics and other Tragedies

Some people think that there cannot be the God, since there is Satan and every evil thing, in addition to unhappiness, in this world.

However, the God needs Satan to be perfect.  Something that does not include incompleteness cannot be complete.  So, for the God to be complete, He needs something called Satan as something that denies Him.  Even, for a man to understand happiness, he has to know unhappiness.  

However, it does not mean that Satan being incomplete has a chance to defeat the God.  Satan's role is to challenge the God to be defeated, thus helping the God enjoy the status of completeness.

What is complete should include incompleteness as its element.  Otherwise, it cannot be complete.

Therefore the God should allow Satan to exist as an element in its complete domain. 

What is complete should not lack incompleteness to be complete and perfect.  Otherwise, it cannot understand what is incomplete.

Therefore the God should allow men and Satan to exist as elements in its complete domain. 

However, the contents of God's completeness are boundless and limitless.  Satan and all evil things occupy a minimum portion of the domain of God's completeness.  The God can neglect Satan as Satan is almost nothing for the God.  But for men, Satan is a great threat, since Satan's only reason for existence is to prevent men from having faith in the God.  So, to save men from Satan, the God sent His Son, Christ Jesus, to the human world.  This is the basic condition for these 2000 years. 

Therefore, from this point of view, we have to endure our unhappiness caused by Satan for the God.  But what would the God do to men who have sold their souls to Satan for provisional happiness?  As such men are regarded as joining Satan trying to harm completeness of the God, the God should punish them in addition to Satan.

From the beginning, the God created this material world and men for exercising and proving His power, so that the mankind should always glorify the God even if some of their members are unhappy.  A man should glorify the God even if he is unhappy.  The protagonist in this world is not the mankind but the God.  The God did not create men to make them happy but to exercise and prove His power.  Therefore, there is no discrepancy in the facts that there is the God and that men can be unhappy sometimes despite existence of the God.  And Satan abuses these facts.

That is why Jewish people do not deny the God despite having experienced such past tragedies as the tribe, though, chosen by the God.  And, past European Christians did not deny the God despite having experienced so many plagues.  Even Muslims have not denied the God despite having experienced so many tragedies.     

This corona-pandemic should not lessen faith in the God among believers.  The corona-pandemic has never harmed the God.  And how much the God would save men from viruses depends on the God, taking into account the state of men's faith in the God and men's acceptance of Satan.

Without viruses bringing some useful elements into men's DNAs and genes, the mankind could not have been established through evolution.  And without unhappiness and tragedies Satan has brought into men's livings, the mankind cannot contribute to completeness of the God.  So, we should not blame the God for our unhappiness and tragedies.  What is complete should include what is incomplete.  Even for us to be completely happy, we have to know unhappiness.

But what would happen if the God stops being complete?  Even if the God retreats from the domain of completeness and incompleteness, the God must be still more than being complete; there are no problems for the God.  But in that case, how poor the mankind should be, without mentioning Satan?  In this context, unhappiness and tragedies are part of God's love to exist in the domain of completeness and incompleteness.  Indeed, if the God closed the domain of completeness/incompleteness, both men and Satan should not be able to exist or should lose the ground for existence; they are of no use for the God.  

And, if we die in the corona-pandemic, we can be given eternal life by Christ Jesus as long as we have faith in the God.

Mark 3, King James Version
11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
12 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
13 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
