You are quite right. But I can't understand why don't you loss faith still. I think you better give up it. No arguments can be found against you.There is no somebody as a god according to my belief. I don't meant to offend anybodies belief by this. After all it is my thought. So, don't bother asking such foolish questions when you understand the truth very well. According to everything you have said, it seems to me that it would be no any use if really there were a god because he can't prevent bad things done by his own creations and any bad thing such as tsunamis, earthslips. People say that it is free will of man given by god. What a ridiculous statement... Just think about the attack on september 11 in world trade center. I saw a woman thank god for not allowing her husband to go there that day. (That man couldn't go there on that particular day because of some reason.) But don't you think other women whose husbands and children died on that day should,.......him. Please take no offence. This is only an argument you can't break. So it is up to you to decide whether this is a question at all.

I believe that god created the world but i don't believe that he is responsible for the bad things or the good things that happen in this world, it is a personal choice a test of faith and if you as a person are willing to live how god intended then there should be no problem, the problem is all the MAN-made wrongdoings, such as drugs, violence, and abuse, god didn't intend to have these things happen i don't think, i believe it is a personal choice, and god created one man and one woman it is them who created the rest of us, i believe god gives us test in life and whether are not you got that faith in you and the drive to believe in him then you choose which path to take and you suffer the consequences, not god, and as far as Mother Nature, this earth has been beat up, misused, mistreated, and other sorts of abuse so i believe that is the result of the disasters, it is all our fault not gods, just what i believe, or think i don't really know what to believe tho i hope this gives you some insight tho and you shouldn't give up your faith that is what the devil wants you to do so he can keep corrupting the minds of the children in this world!!

One of the things that god blessed mankind with was 'free will' the ability to choose right from wrong. that is the essence of man and the basis for all human failings and wars, envy, jealousy, greed etc only exist because we have the ability to choose our actions whether they be right or wrong, different from animals that mainly act on instinct. It is paradoxically the thing that makes us so wonderful yet at the same time the thing that can make us commit such heinous acts as a living being. with regards to the natural acts that occur they are nature not man and if u take it down to basics a natural way of keeping the planet from being overpopulated ( i too mean no disrespect to anyone reading this who has had the misfortune to suffer from a natural disaster)

Free will is the right answer for man. As for the world, if there were no problems on earth and everything was happy and gay, and you were provided for at everyturn, what would you learn? How would you grow, and why would you even need God then?
Your perfect world that you describe is waiting for you in heaven. That is the "prize" for not giving up your faith.
God created and has control over the 3 choirs of heaven, but for man, because he loves us sooooo much, he gave us everything because he gave us freedom.
However, it is up to us what we want to do with it. Hewill always be waiting for you with open arms at home. Its your responsibility to get the directions to get there. And by giving up your faith, you might as well throw the map away, and keep driving around in circles.

Everything is part of that big "Circle of Life" that Mufasa kept preaching on about. Look, pretend you made two hamsters. Said hamsters start running around and making more hamsters. Soon, you have bunches of hamsters. Now, because of the way genetics works, these hamsters have different combinations of genes. These genes are copies of the original. One copies incorrectly, and instead of a brown hamster, you wind up with a spotty one. Other mistakes are made during the copy process, and then you happen to wind up with a real jerk of a hamster. That hamster decides it wants to be an Evil Overlord. Is that your fault? No. Natural disasters are part of the process of life. They wipe out areas where there are too many, allowing room for more to propagate, be it people, animals, forests, etc. Those best suited survive. If the world fills up, nobody can live here. It's the way it has to be. If nobody died, there wouldn't be room for children, and we wouldn't be able to continue to build upon the knowledge our ancestors found before us, and would remain in the dark intelectually.

If you have a child are you responsible for him committing a robbery when hes 22? or entering the peace corps at 33? No, you're not responsible, but you can only try and show your child the right way. We are God's children, made in His likeness, and though He tries to show us the right way, He does not control us. In addition, He adds infinite amounts of forgiveness. Its not wonder people do horrible things, because it pushes His forgiveness. He is so great to bring us into the world yet not try to control us. Maybe he should, I'll bet a person would think twice about stealing a purse if they got a lightning bolt up their **** for it, haha.

Unfortunately, no one can truly answer your question with any certainty. What we do know is those very disasters that you speak of, albeit, violent, actually shape and mold the landscape of the earth's surface.
Would God actually allow many thousands of years of fighting and war in the name of religion? Or millions of people to suffer while a few have enormous prosperity.
There is a saying that God helps those who help themselves. And since God is not revealing itself, I suggest we help ourselves as the human race and if God wants to kick in then great.
There is a general lack of humanity, greed, out of control egos and selfishness in this world--and that is what causes all the violence and despair.
There is a supernatural presence that we do not understand. Some say that science is the ultimate answer, but what is science and who created it? The truth lies somewhere deeper than we are able to grasp as humans in this stage of the game.

if the whole world was good, this wouldnt be a world for us to live in. there must be a balance. if there is no evil, there is no good and there is none. And when there is none, nothing is created and is appreciated. There will be no feelings to be felt by us humans. Time will just pass and we wont have to work hard or slob all day long. Time just passes.
Always remember, the creator of the entire universal system, god, is the wisest creator amongst of all the creators and their creations. What he has cast upon us to live in is a blessing. Whatever he does is for his own reasons. And he has said, he will forgive all our sins and guide us in our faith for as long the front door towards judgement day is still open. Once judgement day arrives, it closes and god will cast his almighty ignorance to all that bow to him for the very last minute. God can do anything he wishes. and its up to us to earn his trust and have faith in him. the world now is a test. if you believe that when you die, youre confident youre going to heaven, think again.
Be confident whatever happens to you after you die is in the name of god. Accept his punishment or blessing.

God gave us Free Will,. so we are responsiable for our own actions. The actions of the Earth AREN'T God's fault. He doesn't cause earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanos or any of those things. Please realize we aren't in the old days of mythology where God's did these things all the time. Yes God did flood the Earth at one time to wipe out the wicked. Note that he flooded the EARTH though. It wasn't he flooded a neighborhood. Yeah I don't understand everything either but that is the way things go to a degree.

I guess you will have to look at this in a sense that is a little easier to understand.
Yes, in a sense God is responsible to all of us for what happens in the world. That is why he watches over us and helps us through things. He also teaches us between right and wrong so that we can be responsible for our own actions when we become adult.
However, just like us as humans having children: we have created an individual. WE are now responsible for that individual. We should teach it and nurture it to grow up right. BUT, once that child becomes an adult. They are now responsible for their own actions. NOT their parents.
Hope this helps.
