Great question.
Why can`t we accept people for who they are, be in religion, colour of skin, creed or disability etc. It`s sad.
It shouldn`t be like this.. Should it?

When God made humans he made us with so much love from His side for us that He decided that we sould have our own will and freedom to make up our minds. Imagine a god who forces his own will upon his creation - is that really genuine love? I doubt it. God put us on this earth with rights and wrongs in this world and the person can choose whether he/she prefers love/hatred, peace/war, kindness/cruelty, mercy/merciless and the list goes on. The decisions a person makes is entirely up to that particular person and there is nothing God can do about it.
God never intended that there should be so much hatred in the world but then people make their own decisions and that is what this world has turned in to - a world where most of the people don't really care about each other. What has become of this world is not God's fault but rather human being's fault.
For every human being that has decided to serve God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, to have mercy, to be forgiving, loving etc God feels and appreciates the love and in the end God's Grace will fall upon them.
If you feel discouraged about the world's hatred I'm afraid the only thing you can do is give the world your love and someone someday will acknowledge it and appreciate it. God bless you.

God is not everywhere. His knowledge is. If God was everywhere is He in the garbage too? I don't really understand why intelligent people believe that God is everywhere.
The hate is human failing. We as human beings are responsible for the hate in this world. Whatever be the reason. We cannot hold God responsible for it!
This world is a fool's paradise and an examination centre. If we pass, our success is rewarded with real paradise(our ultimate goal) and if we fail, staight to hell. That is it! So simple.

Sure makes a person a little uneasy doesn't it. Where is he. Why does he let this happen. ....You may not believe this but actually the world is more at Peace now than it had been for thousands of years. Read history and you will see that there were wars constantly. Very few times of peace. The difference is that we know instantly everything that is happening around the world. Too much so.

it's all in the definitions. if you believe that God is the force of goodness- then it dosn't make sense.
if you believe that God is the energy that is in all things, the life force that is in every living thing, the process of life itself, the alpha and the omega, the one presence that makes up all of experience- the duality of life...the good and the bad, the hot and the cold, the EVERYTHING, then it starts to make more sense.
the thing is, from this perspective here on earth, we can't know the massive truth of reality. we have bad so we can experience good. life is about experience. relativity is what makes experience possible. if there was only one thing- you couldn't know it, because there is nothing to compare it to.
i think it is said that God is only goodness beacuse we want to believe in a father figure that is taking care of us, watching us, and punishing who ever isn't doing the "right" thing. but, i believe that there is no judgement- only consequences. whatever you do, or think, will have a consequence...eventually. this is the law of karma, and also the golden rule. do unto others because it will be done unto you. this is just how the universe works. God has given you the gift of creation- this is how we are made in his image. so create good things, do good things for others, and your experience will be good.
the badness in the world is a result of past things that people have done and are now doing. God allows this because it is life~ how we are choosing to live it. you can only control your experience, and influence the lives of others. inspire goodness, and be good, if that's what you want. help those who are suffering, and you will feel good.
also think about this- is a lion hunting it's pray evil? no- it's life. there is suffering there, but it is also nature- God expressing life and death.
if you believe in the life eternal, then from the highest perspective, God's perspective, all that happens here on earth is temporary, a split second in what your real life is. infinity and eternity are incomprehensable to our little minds.
it's complex- and deserves so much more explanation, but i'll stop here.
*peace

if god is everywhere why is there so much hate in the world?
Friend you blame the Wrong one. It is people who are selfish and hateful. the reason people like this exist and the reason suffering exists is because of the one known as the "Devil" Satan.
as a parent you understand that you teach your kids well. they don't always receive it but you love them still. they grow up and begin making their own choices in life. you guide, direct & advise as they will allow you, but they mostly listen to bad advise from friends and lovers. You allow them to make the bad choices and love them through it all reguardless of the consequences. but if the kids would just listen to the voice of wisdom life would go better. this is true also of us all. for we are the kids and our parent is God. our socalled friends and lovers are the Devil and his seed.

Agreed "dukalink"....Sin.
We live in a fallen world, it will stay this way until Jesus sets His foot on the mountain once more. There will be no "world peace" as so many strive for. Not until the true Prince of Peace arrives.
No Jesus, no peace; Know Jesus, know peace.
Do not confuse hatred with anger though. Anger has its place and is a God given release. Jesus Himself got angry, threw out the buyers and sellers in the temple, He also put the highly religious in their place several times.
But rest assured, He NEVER hated them....

God is everywhere but God cant make desicions for everyone they have to chose to live for him and not the world. everybody that dont believe in GOD will see in the end when he comes back for his ppl that has been by his side and has believed that he is the one and only and can do anything for you. God can change your whole life if you just let him but its letting him do it in order for him to do it.

Because God has given everyone free will and free thinking, with uncensored thoughts and actions, people are creating devasting situations which are aggrevated by the fact that the Devil is a real as God and working his own way.

Because God has temporarily allowed satan to be the prince of this world. That is where the hate comes from. It is actually for our benefit because allows us to have the choice to follow Him or serve the prince of the air. Great is the reward of those who choose to adore and follow the creator of all...the I AM that I AM. Seek God with all your heart and you will find him.
