When he ignored so many people's suffering in the past and lets horrible genocides occur.
Lets people steal and kill children, let the Nazi's kill thousands upon thousands of children, innocent people---- What did they ever do to God to deserve that punishment?
Why do Christians even bother to say "it is God's will", why do they say God grants "blessings" and answers prayers when he has ignored so many other more important things than what you have to complain about? I don't understand how you can have both,
out of one side of your face you say we have free will and the fall from grace, etc., then you turn around and say God answers prayers and grants blessings. How can he be in control and grant you some things but not be in control enough stop others?

LOL, yeah, and why do Christians just repeat their scripted Church lines and totally avoid a very tough critical question towards the validity of their religion?
and is "have a great day" and "god bless you" or "god loves you" A nice way that Christians say F**k off?

Believe me, I used to ask the same kinds of questions and I still have questions but I have learned that there is a reason for everything. If we knew what God's reasons were and understood everything then we would be like God and not need him. Also, there are demonds at work trying to destroy God's people. Yes, God answers all prayers, but sometimes the answer is no, I don't know why, but it is. I don't know why God didn't heal my father when I prayed and prayed that He would, but it's not up to me.

All that happens in this world is not God's will. God is not the Author of confusion or suffering. A savior was what we needed God gave us that, many rejected him and still do. the Jews after so many being killed, still need a Savior. God is not in control of any that have not gave him control, those who do not let God set the path for their life, will encounter happenstances, and the adversary to God does not need an invitation. How long before we understand this. each person has to see from their own hind sight what could have been done different. as far as Children killed God knows in an instant they are with him , and in a world more beautiful than this.

As terrible as it sounds, God used all those things for a greater good. Being human, when we look at the Genocide, it's pretty hard to see any sense or good in that, but who knows? Maybe if it weren't for that, in the big picture even more people would suffer as badly or worse than them. If you believe that a benevolent God is obligated to make life good for everybody, you're misaken; life without choice isn't worth living, and if He just fixes every bad situation we get into, we can't really be said to have choice.

this is a common q that arises in everyone's minds but God does everything for a reason, have u ever thought why God has given us minds? so that we can make our own decisions, God lets everything happen that u mentioned above because WE have got a choice of good and bad, God keeps a balance in everything, if there is good, there is bad, it seems cruel but nobody dies without a reason, and nobody is born without a reason, keep praying and realize the smallest of miracles in life, thank God for every little blessing in ur life, u r alive aren't, ur physically complete aren't u, u can see, u can read, u can listen..............................and so on. God doesn't answer some prayers because he has his own real reasons, may be it's for ur own good, God is more loving than any of the mothers of this world. For instance, if a child cries and wants his/her mother to give him/her that piece of burning coal, or that knife, no matter how much he cries, will she ever give it to him if she loves him.........No, never and that is God is, he loves us more than anyone else in the world and if he doesn't answer ur prayer , then ts because of a good reason

Because He does. Everyday. Man brings on the suffering of his own kind. Not God. And just because we don't have all the answers or know all the reasons is not any proof that He does not exist or why things happen. Remember He gave us all free will. That means we can do whatever we want to. Blame man, not God.

Its NOT Gods job to be our personal prayer machines or answer our prayers. That is NO REASON to pray or worship God. HE HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY TO DO ANYTHING FOR US. Quite the opposite, it is we who owe Him. And he is in control, he just leaves us to our own devices to prove a point, that we are unable to rule ourselves.
When it is time, His Kingdom under Christs rule will once and for all time do away with badness and sin, Death and sin will both be destroyed forever. Then and only then will he put a stop to anyone else who sins and he will do it in a timely manner. Satan is the ruler of this world until Jesus' return, so why should God interfere in Satans world?
Get real.

Don't blame God for all the evils in the world. Satan has a hand in it. God does answer prayers if you're a child of God. Are you? If not, complain away. God allows things to happen for the ultimate good in the end.

Because God doesn't control what choices we make. He gave us free will. People make their own decisions, and those decisions affect other people.
Like Hitler made a choice to kill people because he thought they weren't good enough to live. And we all know what came of that choice. People can't make a choice and expect there to be no affect. In short, people decide how the world is run. And what we do with our lives, and other people's, is totally up to us. God is like a parent who's there to comfort us and give us strength.
That's MY opinion.
