Yeah and why does god get the credit for saving people during natural disasters that supposedly he caused? Shouldn't we be really mad at him?

According the Word of God, no one on this earth is perfect or innocent-we all have sinned: made bad decisions in life. (Romans 3:9-18,23; 1 John 1:5). There's a time, season, and purpose for everything- including death. Everyone is appointed to die: it's a natural part of life. However, I do feel the way that some of us die can be very disturbing.

I can only think of these.1) GOD appoints a time and place for everything, Is was there time. 2) GOD says that the meaning of life is to love HIM, some people learn that faster then others. 3) GOD tells us to help and care for others and we hurt and kill instead. Why are there children starving all over the world? Because there are not enough people doing something about it. GOD says in the begining of the Bible"The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." (gen 2:15) and Jesus said "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind. This is the first and Greatest commandment. And the second is like it 'Love your neighbor as yourself ', All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two Commandments" (Matt. 22: 37-40) That statement is so true, if you really look at the 10 commandments they boil down to love GOD and love each other.

of course god is real. he lets innocent ppl die to come and be with him where they will have a better life. like u can see innocent and good ppl die everyday cuz i think god is trying to leave all the bad ppl here for the last day and i hope u know what will happen on that day and how bad it will be so god doesn't want good ppl going throught that torchure.just a thought.

That a really good question you asked there!!!! Anyways, we have to face death sooner or later in life. You just can't escape it! Some of us die earlier than other, but in the end everybody dies. It's really hard to understand why some of these innocent people die. Like there are millions of babies being killed every year. Why do people and those mothers let their children be aborted? Why did all those people in America die in 9/ll? It's hard to know exactly. It says in the Bible somewhere that asked 'who can know the knowledge and wisdom of God? Who can know his justice and mercy?' (or something like that!) No one can understand God's justice and mercy!
Also we all have sinned and just one sin deserves death. Thankfully God made a way to him. He conquered this death for us if we only believe and accept it. I hope this answered your question some what, but no one know totally why innocent people die.

CHEF
Hello there, children.
STAN
Hey Chef.
CHEF
How's it goin'?
STAN
Bad.
CHEF
Yeah. Things have been better.
STAN
Why would God let Kenny die, Chef? Why?
Kenny's my fr-f-f-friend. Why can't
God take someone else's f-f-friend?
CHEF
Stan, sometimes God takes those closest
to us, because it makes him feel better
about himself. He is a very vengeful
God, Stan. He's all pissed off about
something we did thousands of years
ago. He just can't get over it, so he doesn't care who he takes. Children, puppies, it don't matter to him, so
long as it makes us sad. Do you understand?
STAN
But then, why does God give us anything
to start with?
CHEF
Well, look at it this way: if you want
to make a baby cry, first you give it
a lollipop. Then you take it away. If
you never give it a lollipop to begin
with, then it would have nothin' to
cry about. That's like God, who gives
us life and love and help just so that
he can tear it all away and make us
cry, so he can drink the sweet milk
of our tears. You see, it's our tears,
Stan, that give God his great power.
STAN
I think I understand.

As good an answer as anyone else will give you. Because while they'll act like they somehow know what a god thinks, in reality they don't know anymore then you or me. Or Trey Parker.

For the wages of sin is death, Romans 6:23
Romans 5:12-Sin entered into the world by one man and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
People are going to die. Good people and bad people will die. Your mother gave you a birth to die, but Jesus gave all the world a birth to live if they will just get saved.

The realness of God has nothing to do with the innocent dying. Everyone dies. The good, bad, and the ugly.
BTW-There are no innocent people. We are all guilty, having gone our own way.

There is no one who is innocent of sin. Death is the reward for sin. Maybe I should clarify that. There is no one who is without sin--either passed down by Adam and Eve--Original Sin or sin that we ourselves commit after the age of reason. The proof is in the pudding --we all die. Sin is there weather one exercises it or not. If you exercise it it gets stronger and people become more wicked but, it is there weather you exercise it OR not that is why baptism is so important. Once baptised then you are a member of the Body of Christ and your death is offered up for the forgiveness of other people's sins. Like St. Paul says "I make up in my own suffering what is lacking in the suffering of Christ" Not that Christ's suffering lacked anything but, it is a way for us to become a helper in redemption.

God gave us the authority over the earth.
You have to pray, inorder for God to step in and take over.
Some people don't let God lead the way, then God has a hard time helping people, since the rules say, you've got to pray.
You've got to pray
You've got to pray, just to make it today.

The word you want to research is "theodicy"...
the problem of evil/death/disease/war...etc etc etc in the world has been a problem for philosophers and theologians from BCE times on....
the general term for the various explanations is theodicy
there is no one, clear cut, tidy explanation that fits all cases...
there are, however, some interesting views that might give you some resolution to the problem
