@ceruleanspark As I see it, they are making themselves far more miserable (or setting themselves up be be so) by making immoral choices. Their outrage or temporal frustration may be due to society's refusal to support them, but the worldly consequences, in the grand scheme of things, are of little consequence. They would ultimetley be unhappy even if they weren't rejected. Sometimes worldly woes even help some to be humbled enough to seek God, but that's their choice and they will never be forced to accept God even if doing so would save them from inefable misery. We're all infants and children to the understanding of spiritual things. What may seem like harsh and unjust punishment is the firm but sympathetic guidance of a loving parent. God will not cause us misery, but he will allow us to bring it on ourselves like any parent that respects the choices of their child. Keep in mind that if God stepped in and said there would be no more misery, there would equally be no more joy.
