He would fix it, and then we'd ruin it again... He destroyed all the people, and started again, but that didn't work, so he sent Jesus to change peoples hearts. Not to improve this world, but to have some company in the next world. Thats right, all the troubles of this world stem from humanity. If you really wanted the world to be trouble free, neither you, me nor anyone else would be left.

There is no God.
Which means that humans are the architects of their own misfortunes. Atheists can only find God innocent of all the manifold charges leveled against Him; how can we accuse something that we say does not exist of any crime at all?
Those who believe in God would never criticise Him anyway.
So, no matter which side of the fence you land on, it makes no sense at all to suggest, as you do, that God "allows" all the sufferings and troubles on earth.
I would suggest that if it is genuinely your intention to broaden your spiritual maturity you invest in a Bible and set about reading and learning what it says.

This is one of the hardest questions that humans think of. And it is one of those questions that doesn't have a concrete answer to since every single human is different in the world. But to answer your question, I'll give you the answer I've come to terms with. It's been said that God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omnibenevolent and I believe that. To me, the reason why He lets the sufferings, troubles, evil, etc. happen in this world is to simply test us. To me, life is a test that one must endure until the end so that God can judge whether or not we are qualified to join Him in Heaven. Every human is a sinner and yet, if one were to ask God for forgiveness then he/she is "pardoned" from that sin. He wants to see if you can live the way Christ wants you to. I could go on but it would sound like a college philosophy essay. To put it simply, God allows evil to run among the Earth as a test of your faith.

I have been asking that same question myself. It seem that I have lost my grandfather, gradmother and great aunt in one year. I have had the blessing of never having anyone that I met in my family not die. Although I knew death existed I felt excluded in a way from it happening to me. In the bible it says there is a time and place for everything (suffering and death no excepption). Also I think this happens because only God knows someones emotions and needs. He may be trying to prepare you for the road ahead!!!! But remember He will never give you more than you can bear.

I Hate answering a question with a question! But listen to how you said it, do you actualy believe in a God? If i where God i doin't think I would alow it to get like it is now, we live in a world of major sin, and all we think about is ourselves! We only feel a God, if all our feelings are the same (9/11) There is so much power if we all learn to be as one. It's a Dog Eat Dog world!

Man causes suffering, God gives Salvation. Do you think that it is God that molests our children or murders out Fathers and Mothers?
Broaden your spirit with the knowing that it is MANKIND that harms the world, NOT God. It is MAN that causes death.

We are not human beings looking for spiritual experiences…we are spiritual beings having a human experience. This human experience is temporal. It is mortal. Mortality means death and pain that we would not experience as spiritual beings. The death and the pain is what we came for.
