Why didn't he find some gods that he wasn't mad with. It's because he had the blinders of the One True Faith on that he was unable to find other dieties to interact with. He was stuck in a mind-set created by the Christian cult and couldn't find a safe, constructive outlet. The fault lies on the Christians. I knew a vampire who was like that. He was into magick and vampirism, but when the topic got to theology he always ended up back at Christianity. That's how powerful their brainwashing is.

Well, you would have to know a bit more about the charactor of God in order to understand.
Parents love their children, but we know that they are not robots. We tell them the rules and as they mature we expect them to live by the rules. They do not anymore than we live by Gods rules.
Now, when Jesus left this earth, he sent to us the Comforter. The Holy Spirit (comforter) is a bringer of light and truth. The Comforter also has the task of holding back evil. The comforter does not have the task of eradicating evil. That will be done at the end times (not sure when that is).
So, evil and sin nature exist and are held back from overtaking the entire earth until the appointed time. But evil is still in charge at the moment here on earth. The bible states that this is true.
God will intercede, but not until his timing, not ours. Until then, we are still paying the price for allowing evil onto the earth in the first place.

If you werent wanted would you have intercede?
If you really want the answer to your question ask one of the Jehovah Witness in your area for the book "What does the Bible really teach.'
Your question will be answered. The statement that is most often given "It is Gods will" is a lie.

I agree with Will - why do you ask us why God does what he does. Only God knows - why don't you ask him?
I can tell you this though: if God interceeded every time a person were about to commit an evil act, there would be no more free will. Because if God only allowed us to do good things, we would never get to do or experience the consequences of our evil choices. We all make evil choices.

You are free to belevie what you want this is my opinion.why are you placing human value and charecteristics on someone who is beyond time and beyond duality, Your putting God in your box then defining him/her acording to human values. Our universe is a few billion years old Now put yourself in Gods shoes. You create a whole bunch of human souls and a whole p[lanet of other souls that are themselves immortal. You give them bodies that are mortal. They come back every few seconds for another body saying GOd that was fun let me do it again. THis time let me be eaten by a lion. In 10 billion years ive never been eaten by a lion. let me go again God please. Sure you can stay but No I havnt seen it all yet!
Your making value judgements without knowing the whole picture.
I know I live here and murder is horrible the pain those people are going through is horrible.In Gods veiw and your souls veiw its just a millisecond your over ten billion years old. The dead are not in pain there in heaven or going for another ride they know they are immortal. it is us who cling to the mortal bodies who think this is it.

This is a tough one, true. But God created a perfect world. The earth was perfect and all in it were perfect. Adam & Eve were given a perfect situation and a freewill. God was not interested in having slaves. In having no love. He wanted man to have a choice. We made that choice and chose for sin to enter the world. Once our freewill and sin took over it started a world that was jaded and headed for a nature unintended. We deal with this realization everyday. Even kids getting shot at school. It is the choice we made and the world we must live in until Jesus comes for us. Its unfair and sometimes can hurt, but God gives us the choice. Sometimes we're just in the line of fire between the world and heaven.

What exactly would you have God do? Be specific. Would you have God kill him? Oh, I see, so God killing is okay, but then we also have the people who get on God's case for destroying whole cities of people like that, for example Sodom and Gamorrah. Would you have God restrain him? Oh, I see, so God restraining his sins is expected, but when God just gives commandments we have people getting on his case for all the lists of don'ts they really want to do. What exactly would you have God do?
Hey, I've got a plan! I know exactly what God can do! He can actually allow people to do what they want, killing and maiming and all, and to govern each other, and then at the end of the world he can raise EVERYONE from the dead, and then tell everyone exactly why everything that happened to them happened, and then people like him will have to face their victoms, except now their victoms will be invincible and have the power to judge them and send them to a never ending torment. Now there's a plan.
Oh, wait... that's what God's doing...

Oh He is. But He will not interfer with free will. Which is what that man had- free will.
Just like the hijackers on 9-11 & Hitler & Pol Pot, Stalen, Edi Amin- the list is so long.

Beacuse God does not exist. And if he did, then he wanted all of those kids to get shot to death.

God is powerless to stop the forces of Satan.. apparently.
