Americans are suffering too. Just because they don't die of hunger or Aids it doesn't mean they are not going through their trials. Americans have low morals, a loose lifestyle and they allow the media to make decisions...what to eat. wear, where to live. what music to listen to etc...I think many Americans die a personal death daily because of these things and many other things.

9000 Africans are dying each day in Africa because of the whim of some dude who decides to start a war and shoot half of his countrymen because they will not become the religion that he has chosen for them, or they don't want him as their leader, or there have been so many wars that the infrastructure of farming is zilch and the once profitable farmland is destroyed, and lets not forget that there are things called drought that happen no matter what contenent you are on... and any number of other things such as disease...
Did God actually cause this situation, or did man?
Why blame God for what humans do?
Why not try to fix the situation instead of argue "because there is so much death and dying in the world there cannot be a God". You would be much more constructive and productive if you and others did

who is truely responsibile for life. if it is god then he knows what he is doing, the human was given the animal and other humans to help take care of . all created, it is written that all was created good.. , look at our earth we do not take care of it and so we do not take care of our . own the human, we kill each other, we kill all the animals , we kill our planet the truth we as the humans is responsibile. look at the money in all the big chucches we do not need the big building, gov, business. the electric alone would feed the poor. gov. you and me are limited, on a mass scale. it was wriiten the poor will enter the kingdom before the wealthy // why is that. simple the poor . truely love each other , the rich think about the self.. do we really need all the things we have, water alone is priced too high, we all are to blame. for the dieing. it is not gods doing .. if god removed those that did not give or love your neighbor or help the poo.r where would we americans be and our gov.. we would have only the poor ,, do what you can for those around you even your neighbor may be poor in spirit. and that is a true death. pray for them, and their goverment and ours for not doing the right thing and god he knows death is only a process a cycle like the life cycle of a tree ..look ,, a tree can out live you and i.. and needs no man to give to it. or feed it or water it and even a flood does not destry it ,, .. think ,, do we really have the rich or the poor or is all simply simply a cycle of life ..

Because this nation was founded on the principles of the Bible. We even hold days every year to come together and have corporate prayer. As long as there's someone praying, righteousness can be found. The only thing with God, is that once you pray, you have to wait on Him to answer it, and alot of ppl are impatient with that. I'm pretty sure Africa practices religions that don't line up with the Word of God, voodoo, and all the like. Not to say that everyone over there is doing it. But one man's sin can be the downfall of a nation--know what I mean?

You are mistaken that God is unaware of the situation here on earth. His will be done.
Americans have grown in technology, medical and machine, very quickly. This country has not succumbed to mass local uprisings because of this. All countries are moving forward, some more slowly.
Do you think the African government should take better care of its citizens? Don' t you think the citizens need to be educated academically? Shouldn't there be a MASSIVE campaign to stem the growth of rampant disease?
Don't blame God for the atrocities in this world. Blame them on the ignorant and the greedy.

The existence of God does not equate to real-life tragedy. Death in Africa is due to drought and famine which is often caused by human negligence based upon corrupt governments, particularly in Africa. Humans have the choice to follow God and do good or not and do evil - it's not entirely that simple but we have the freedom to choose how we conduct our actions.
This means that God does not have the power to directly influence events in the world, or he influences the world through the actions of people or he is not there at all and therefore he does not exist...your choice.

Africans are dying because their leaders are greedy pigs. God cannot involve Himself in the free will decisions of evil men. They will pay, but not just yet. America 'almost got everything' because we allow individuals the freedom to figure out how to get rich, and then do it. Any country could do the same, if the people would only demand it.

Why do you see God as having anything to do with it?
Stop blaming God for the stupid stuff people do.
If you don't like the status quo don't support a government that does everything in its power to maintain the inequitable balance of resource availability.
Stop focusing your anger in places where it does no good and speak out against the greed that makes these things happen.

Why do you say they are innocent?Do they live perfect Godly lives?Are they not created by God to do with as he pleases?Where exactly do you get the idea that life here starving and being enslaved is better than what God has for them other than here?You assume a great deal to make you question seem reasonable,but you are completely wrong.

People in America almost got everything? Wow, that's news.
If your land suddenly became desolate and was unable to support you, would you stay? If you didn't have any water tomorrow, would you sit around and wait or would you find someplace that had fresh water?
No I'm not blaming the Africans for their problems, just their government for failing to provide for them.
And no, I don't blame God for the troubles man puts upon himself.
