Y'know I asked God once why He lets so many people on earth suffer so much. He asked me the same question.
I guess it's because He's letting us be in charge here for a while and we've really made a mess of things!

Many people make the mistake in blaming God because they think he is the ruler of the world.
Who is the real ruler of the world?
1 John 5:19 says: "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one".
The real ruler of the world is Satan the Devil.
Good News! Satan's time is short.
Because God loves humans so much he gave his son Jesus as a ransom sacrifice. No one has ever given a greater gift. -John 3:16; Matthew 20:28
God is a "lover of justice". -Psalm 37:28
God cares about what is right and what is wrong.
God is love. 1John 4:8
When Jesus was on earth he cured the sick, fed thousands, and even raised the dead. Jesus wasn't just showing he could do those things. He was demonstating what he would do under his Kingdom rule from heaven.
"Let your kingdom come..." Matthew 6:9,10
In the near future "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death willl be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." - Revelation 21:4
"No resident will say: I am sick". - Isaiah 33:24
"There will be pleanty of grain on the earth." - Psalm 72:16
Satan and mankinds suffering will be gone soon. Then people will have real peace.

because we live in a fallen world, but God has already provided the remedy: the Christ. At the consummation of this age, Christ will return, separate His people from those who have rejected salvation and God will renew and restore the universe in its pristine goodness for the redeemed. Then all the effects of sin - sickness, suffering, death will be things of the past and God will wipe every tear from our eyes. I fervently hope that you will be there in the New Heavens and the New Earth.

HE is GOD! not WE! we're here to serve him, he's not here to serve us! he made some of us poor, some rich, he made some black, some white. some good, some bad. he made us diff for us to communicate as 1 world. he showed us a path and gave us choice to go through it or no. just because there are starved ppl doesnt mean anything. there are rich ppl that help in tht, right? there's enough of everything in the world if we just know how to deal with the issue. (in my religion, it's zakat) life is a journey people take for afterlife. it never was about life. life is ending. afterlife is everlasting! so i dnt mind starving in life if i can be in heaven afterlife!

Since God created you, he can destroy you at will. God kills indiscriminately. God allows suffering to make you a better person or to test you to see which kingdom you'll go to. God is in charge of everything, you are a mere mortal to be toyed with and "called home" when He sees fit.
Sounds good huh!?

We are not promised a perfect life. We are promised salvation and eternal life through us accepting Jesus as our savior who died on the cross for our sins. Satan causes all of our suffering so we might have our faith weakened. God does not cause our suffering. It is there to strengthen our faith and our walk with the Lord. We are to thank God for good times and bad times.

Because mankind allows it. Do you believe in God or not? Because if you don't, why are you trying to put the suffering of the world on something you don't believe in? You and everyone else who asks this question need to realize it's all mankind's fault.

Suffering is created by man not God.
