God lets people make choices, this allows us to be human and not robots. Ultimately, some people will make the wrong choices.

Because this world isn't meant to be a perfect utopia. It is our testing ground to choose good or evil. And as far as rapists and Hitler, they made their own choices to do evil. God gives us all a free will. They happened to choose the evil that pleased them not God. As far as the weather goes. You aint seen nothin yet as the saying goes. We are in for some real bad stuff because of global warming. Jesus fortold it all long ago. It's all part of God's plan. You just have to make sure your on His side.

Because of sin. God created the earth and certain rules to govern it. When he created man, he gave man a free will. He doesn't ever force anything to violate these rules. He functions withing those rules.
Before you go off about the Red Sea etc., these are miracles yes, because God caused them to happen at that time but He used natural actions to make it happen (great winds).
Man's sin allows people to make poor choices and these choices lead to murder, rape, genocide etc.
We can't stop evil things from happening in the world but we can pray that God will use us to positively impact someones life.

God created people. He gave people the free will to do what they choose. IF you have a son and you raise him in a normal life setting with lots of love and he goes out and chooses to rape his girlfriend are you the bad person ? No, he is, he chose to go down that path nobody forced him to. Put responsibility where it belongs on the person who is doing the act of violence. Don't blame on God as an excuse.

Bad people make bad choices. They (bad people) have to take responsibility for their actions. They also have free will and can choose a different path. They have chosen not too.
As for "bad" weather, earthquakes and tsunami's...we live in a natural world. Natural disasters happen.

Well those people have turned to the dark side, which isn't God's choice ( even though I'm not religious), he lets people be bad or good against their own will. As for natural disasters, those are simply part of nature, which is uncontrolable such is this planet we live on.

My theory is that this "God" or "force" or whatever, doesn't follow anything according to the many religious teachings on this earth. He/she/it is very neutral, and does not take any side of what's considered good or evil, order or chaos. Instead it strives to make all life on earth as balanced as possible for all sides and very rarely, in between.

God is good, all good, all the time He is good. But good question. A book was written years ago, "Why bad things happen to good people" tells the story.
All the bad in this world comes from those who will not believe and follow God. and there are natural consequences of sin, that others bring on us. God tells us obedience leads to blessing and disobedience leads to curse.
Why are their rapists, murderers, etc/ Because God gives us ALL the precious gift of choice. we either choose Him or we choose to reject Him. that simple. So, when others wont accept, they follow the devil whether they know it or not. God says we must choose Him, or we have automatically chosen the devil, who is of hate and all kinds of evil. gives sinful passions and lusts, etc.
But, if we are God's, He will do all he can to protect us. And to get us thru when others that arent of God hurt us, and we are to love them and forgive them and keep praying for them. God loves us ALL. But, wont save everyone. It has to be a choice, we each have to make.
you mention the weather, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.
Yep, awful awful things and many die.
First off, we suffere the consequences of thosoe not of God who will not take care of this planet, and certain things happen. God will only protect those that are HIS. also, God tells us about how people will be in these last days just before Jesus comes to take us all home, those that are HIS. Read aobut it, it will shock you how just right on it is about today. He fortells of this messy stuff you mention, and how it will get worse, because He iwll not bless a nation that is anti God. and, america has been becoming more and more tat all the time, just like the other hedonistic nations. So, all suffer when these bad things come. Dont blame God, He wants to protect us, but most wont accept Him and it has natural consequences. God says it will continue to get worse and worse till Jesus comes. and tells us we better be in His full protection, by obedience, to be protected. Will some true Christians die in this stuff? YES. again the natural consequnces of sin of others. But, they go right to heaven, and their worries are over. not that way for thoseo who reject God. Its hell, which each choose for themself.
God also tells us there will be a shaking just before Jesus comes, when He will do whatever it takes to get our attention and to show us Bible prophecy is real. Do you see more earthquakes than ever, screwy weather, just look around you. God is showing us what He predicted, and is TRYING to get the worlds attention before its too late.
So, why do bad things happen? They happen because people and nations have chose to abandon God for the sinful desires and lusts of this world, that the devil gives to them in thoughts, etc. So why would anyone choose to follow him by not accepting GOD/ If this world accepted GOd, none of this would happen. It could be heaven on earth.
So, lets not blame God or run from HIM. LEts run to Him and plead for His love, forgivenss and protection in the name of Jesus. Seek and ye shall find. I will be praying for you

BALANCE. There is no good with out bad. YOu dont appreciate the good things you have until something bad happens. I thik God allows things to happen in order for people to look to him for help. Look to him for an answer. Have faith that he will see you through whatever it is you are going through.
