Maybe he doesn't want to.

You wish, but that is not the way it works. The Satan's run around and stir up trouble, and much worse. All you can do is wait until God is ready for that. He wants everyone to have a free choice to do the right thing and resist the devil. Let me explain how I thought about this and maybe this makes sense, or maybe not. Everything has a positive and negative, stop and think about it. We have to have good and bad, it somehow balances things out. Now, if we have been good people and followed the original plan that God had laid out for us, then maybe there would not be evil in this world, but we chose it, and it is here. If we overcome that and chose the path that God laid out for us, by sending his son, Jesus, to die for those sins, then we do have a way for a life of eternal peace with God. If you want to go around and do everything bad, killing and such, and bragging about it, well, you are not on the good side, then are you? You will get the sentence when God is ready, so sorry, you will just have to wait. So in the meantime get busy and clean up your act, if you have an act to clean, and down on your knees before it is too late.

Christian answer: demons are already in hell because not being with God is hell. In fact, some people argue that this lived existence is a division of it.
Atheist answer: because there isn't enough evidence to prove that God exists, so on that assumption the question is moot.

God granted us freedom of choice. Not everyone has chosen yet, some of us haven't been born yet.
P.S. If you have the right to use Jesus name, you can command the demons to go straight to hell right now!

i think that "god" has his own prespective about this whole thing, it's because u gotta have evil in the world so u can feel that there is good and peace in the world, and also, if god didn't want all of this to happen, he wouldnt have created satin (the devil), also evil people have the choice to be good or evil, people arent born evil, right?
also i think it's kind of an ultimate test for humanity, the choice between good and evil.

My personal opinoin is that he knows without any evil in this world, we would all just lie back doing whatever we feel like. This, of course, leads to sloth (I believe), one of the 7 deadly sins. A worldwide epidemic. I guess he chose to have evil insead of sloth.

carl, GOD is in the process of doing that "NOW". humanity needed "bad" for the process of spiritual growth,so humanity would enter their hearts into UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, as that happens "BAD GUYS" will not be distroyed but changed to saints by that unconditional love. LOVE wins them over not hate and distruction. LOVE whistle britches

without evil there can be no good. there must be a balance. anyway if god does to many mirales poeple go to realy on him to much and not care about living. but if he does nothing they dont belive in him any more. god is nothing more than a sheapard in life. he does not control what we do.

Because even tho satan was defeated at calvary. People still have the choice of whom they will follow. God, or satan.
By not following the 10 commandments, and having the faith of Jesus, you are following satan, because thats exactly what he does.

Dude, we should worry and work on our own personal salvation. Once we get to Heaven, I'm sure we can ask God all questions we want; or even better, there may be no need to ask questions anymore. :)

Very nice and beautiful question. I share your frustrations.
For all the bad guys and daemons, let them do their work. You continue to spread goodness around. We need more minds like you.
