Why DIDN'T God (or Yahweh, Allah, Zeus, etc) STOP the terrorists on 9/11, Adolf Hitler, Japan at Pearl Harbor, the Vietnam War, etc.

Why are you blaming this on God?
When good things happen to you do you blame that on God too?
Of course not.
Why didnt YOU stop the terrorists?
..... If there was no pain the world wouldn't know what to do.
And there'd be no decision making and TURNING TO God and burying pride and realizing God's the only one that can get you out of your pain.
Maybe He didn't stop them because He's fulfilling prophecies, or trying to get your attention...
No one actually really knows, but there's gotta be a reason. God is a great God, not a dude in the sky sitting on a cloud waiting for you to mess something up so he can throw a stick at you and laugh. God is good.. so maybe all these things happened because.. well.. because our world is going insane?

...If He did stop these thing, would I hear you complaining that He interfered with your "free will"?
...Evil men do seem to get away with things now, but Romans 14:11-12 says, "that every knew shall bow to God" , and "each of us shall give account of Himself to God."
...The Bible reveals that at times God restrains sin; other times He will raise up one army against another to punish a sinner nation.
...But what about you, friend? What will you do with Jesus who is called Christ? Have you seriously considered his claims - that He is God, and the only way to God? He doesn't leave you any wiggle room - either He is a liar, a lunatic, or He is Lord.
...Your decision here is no small thing - I urge you to "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and be saved (Acts 16:31).
...Whosoever will, may come.

Because God gave us minds and expected us to use them to do good, not to use them to do no good! In other words, you expect God to stop these senseless wars, that man started cause they were greedy? How do you discipline a child? If a child disobeys, do you not punish them? It just is a pity that the innocent get hurt, by others actions and they die. The ones that die are called martyrs. there is a saying in the Bible " Suffer little children to come unto me "

God created us to live in harmony with each other by our free will choice and does not force anyones hand, He expects us to honour this code of love and compassion as He is a merciful God, so He expects us to be merciful.
remember though He also a just God and His justice will have to be satisfied, so all humanity will at some point in time be called to account for it`s actions, for most of us this will be the moment after our death.
it is we who make the wars and the hunger that destroys life, and God though angry at our inhumanity towards each other permits man his free choice,He is not our servant to have to clean up every time we do wrong,nor is He like a waiter whose only importance is cleaning up the spills, God is Creator and will demand our explanation why we have done these terrible wrongs, and why we have used His Holy name to try to justify them.

Because the God of this world right now is Satan. It became Satan's when Adam & Eve sinned. In the Bible you can read Matthew Ch.4:8-9 where Satan is offering Jesus everything in the world, if Jesus would bow down and worship him, "8 Again the devil taketh him up an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them. 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me".
Satan couldn't offer him everything if it wasn't his to offer. If you read more you will see where Jesus never says to Satan, it isn't your's to offer.
So blame Satan for all the evil in the world. When Jesus Christ returns, then Satan's rule will be over.

Why? Why do we ask him to stay out of our lives? How many times have you asked him in a day to rule your life? In a week? Prayer=abolished. Prohibited, people should not be obligated or forced to pray. Now we ask why? One of the beautiful things that God has given us is our free will, let it be to chose the wrong things.
Unfortunately we remember him when things go bad and expect him to make the wrong , right. Right?

GOD Almighty has told human being that what's wrong and what's right. And human is given free hand by GOD to act as one likes and be questionable about one's actions on the day of judgment.

Its not his job to amke this world perfect. he made this world for us to try an enjoy ourselves away from him. It's the nature of love that you let the one you love be free. We have free will. We used to be in the spiritual world (no in these bodies but as spisit souls, our essence) happy and having fun but when we turn our back on God, we come here.
God wants us to realise that this place has suffering inbuilt. We suffer due to our karmic reactions - the things we do to hurt others will come back to us.
It's up to us to find peace in our own hearts and minds and that will extend out around us.

Two words: Free will
One law of physics: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. It's God's rule to make or break. But given the free will theory....well, I think you get the idea.
Not bad for an atheist, huh?

Who told you life was supposed to be perfect? they lied. If you have no God ,then use what you know to your advantage. Realize that your time on earth is short, do what you must to be happy and make peace. Maybe on the way God will choose to know you, but first you must choose to know him. Focus on what is positive in the world, not on what's negative, let Satan run his course, thats why he is here, but know that his time is short.
