I don't understand, why would he let all this evilness take place, day after day, hour after hour

He's not a puppet master.
We've been allowed free will, to follow him or not.
Our response to events (or lack of response) is what He looks at.

God is not a being that has control over the actions of human beings. That's what free will is all about. If there is evil in the world, human beings and human beings alone are at fault. There is no satan, no hell and no sin. God is simply the life force that permeates every living thing in the universe. God is not some almighty figure sitting in the clouds passing judgement. God simply is.

Really???
God is allowing all the evil because man and Satan chose to do things their own way and they decided to choose what was good and bad. As the result God is proving he has the right to rule over his creation. The issue will be settled once and for all time.

God didn't do it, it's the evil in Man that does Evil deeds, God gave Man the freedom of Choice./

A little thing called free will. Try replacing the word God, with the word Man.

Because he does not exist and bad and evilness occur in life but people say "god works in misterious ways" to make up for it.

Because He gave us free will to do what seems right. Have you ever stolen anything or lied? You knew it was wrong but chose to do it anyway. We will all stand before the throne to be judged, most religions believe this to be true. If we were unable do wrong the world would Eden, but we would lose our individuality

Understand the concept, "Who is God" and it would become simpler to understand God Almighty in its entirety.
Who is God?
God Almighty... a cluster of pure energy is but the sum total of all souls (atmans) in the cosmos at a given point of time. The essence of every soul (atman) being the same as God Almighty... every soul is but a minuscule God in its entity.
The moment the big bang occurs... all souls (atmans) existing in the Cosmos spread all over the cosmos with unimaginable speeds. The magnitude and the scale of the big bang are beyond the comprehension of the human beings to visualize. Nothing that exists in the cosmos in energy form can be visualized by the help of the senses and the mind.
This explosion of the big bang results in creation of a new cosmos... a new beginning! After billions of years when some planets become suitable for giving birth to life... the souls start manifesting body after another. And a planet like Mother Earth is born.
Now... what is this big bang theory! The big bang occurs in what! As has been defined above... the definition of God is, "the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the cosmos at a given point of time is what we know as God Almighty".
This cluster of pure energy we know as God accumulates in its absolute pure state only when the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs in its entirety. It is as if a huge cauldron of fire... a massive black hole has reduced the whole of the Cosmos to the size of half a thumb. It is this stage when every single soul atman in the Cosmos in whatever stage of life it may be liberates after gaining enlightenment and salvation. There is just no escape for the collapse of the whole of Cosmos has occurred.
As has been expressed by Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism that souls atmans in whatever stage of life they may be... continue their journey into the next Cosmos exactly from the point where they stood in the earlier manifestation is totally wrong. This is where the teachings of Jainism are flawed.
Bhagavad Gita... the sacred doctrine of Lord Krishna distinctly clarifies this point. And it is logical that when the collapse of the entire cosmos occurs... the question of souls remaining in their position as such and transitioning into the next Cosmos after the big bang occurs is but a flawed parable that defies all reasoning and logic.
The point of difference where Mahavira went wrong in understanding the teachings of Bhagavad Gita! The reason why Jainism branched into a new thinking pattern as advocated and doctored by Bhagwan Mahavira (the 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism) is evidenced here.
This cluster of pure energy... the sum total of all purified atmans in the Cosmos equals half the size of a thumb as has been clearly spelt out in the Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna in the battlefield of Mahabharata.
Unable to contain itself for long... this enormous source of pure energy explodes with a big bang giving birth to a new cosmos... a new journey! God Almighty is the source and the cause of the big bang. This theory of creationism is unpalatable by Scientists all over the world. Why? Science demands proofs and in the kingdom of God... it is absolute faith (in the system of God) that rules. More on god here- http://www.godrealized.org/god/who_is_god.html

God's a genius. i know how you feel. Sometimes I wonder myself.
But sometimes we need to be in the dark, to find the light.
It's actually not his fault. It's the evil other people do. But, hey.
We need,
Darkness before Dawn.

I don't think God has anything to do with the evilness, it is the devil. People need to pray against all evil as much as they can.
