Please help me understand. I have been told that NOTHING in this world happens outside God's Will. If that is the case... If I were to put a gun to my head and pull the trigger, i would only die if it was God's will. Also All the rape and incest and murder in this world is all "Within God's Will" . I'm Sorry, But I can not believe all this is God's will. Please help me understand!!!!

I believe the shorthand answer to this, from a christian point-of-view, is that "Blame god for all the good stuff and yourself/Satan for all the bad."
God "allows" bad things to happen because Satan is in control of the world blah-blah-blah but it works together for good as part of the marvelous plan that our simple human minds are just to dumb to get.
Christians will say something like that. Me - I'm an atheist :)

you have to understand... it is god's will that we are all able to overcome the temptations of the devil. He puts us on this earth to test us and see if we are worthy of eternal life. Also, we're put on this earth to act as his servants and to help others. If we do what we were put here to do, then it is all part of his will but as for those who murder, etc, that is not God's will. That's the inability of people to overcome the strong temptations of satin.

No its not Gods will to harm people
we have our own free will & satan is the one who does the mean stuff & God don't controll the earth we do for 1000 years I think

no not everything in this world is G-d's will otherwise we would not have free will.
We have the ability as humans to go against G-d's will. As such he wont stop us because that defeats the purpose of living.

Satan rules this system of things. To be safe from satan you must accept Christ is the only road to salvation.
