I see a lot of answers like this, and I am wondering why. "If God wasn't in favor of -----------(whatever doesn't really matter) it would not exist." Is that to lead us to believe that God is in favor of everything in this world? Like, for example, child pornography. This question is only intended for people who believe this, or answer questions in this way. I just want to know why God is in favor of everything that exists in this world. No insult intended, just please explain this to me.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was questioning God, I thought I was questioning people's responses to questions. (this question is not pointed at God, it is pointed at anyone who answers questions this way.)

God in favor of everything that exhists? I'm sorry no God is not in favor of all that exhists. He isn't in favor of sin, but does not violate the free will He allowed us. He allows horrible things to occur as a consequence of sin brought into the world and because he will not violate human will.

Armageddon will be the time when all that is bad will be destroyed. It may exist now but now for long.
Who or what will be destroyed at Armageddon?
Dan. 2:44: “The God of heaven will set up a kingdom . . . It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.”
Rev. 19:17, 18: “I saw also an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice and said to all the birds that fly in midheaven: ‘Come here, be gathered together to the great evening meal of God, that you may eat the fleshy parts of kings and the fleshy parts of military commanders and the fleshy parts of strong men and the fleshy parts of horses and of those seated upon them, and the fleshy parts of all, of freemen as well as of slaves and of small ones and great.’”
1 John 2:16, 17: “Everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world. Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.”
Rev. 21:8: “As for the cowards and those without faith and those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and fornicators and those practicing spiritism and idolaters and all the liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur. This means the second death.”
Will the destruction be forever?
Matt. 25:46: “These [who refused to do good to Christ’s “brothers”] will depart into everlasting cutting-off.”
2 Thess. 1:8, 9: “Those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus . . . will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction.”

Your question only makes sense if there is only one god and if that god actually cares about the affairs of man. Toss out the Theist god, find Atman, find a Deist or Pantheist god and - tada - you are released from this dilemma. God's behavior is only enigmatic if you require that he/she be the ultimate cause or even that it approve of or permit all individual actions of man.

Satan has a way of perverting everything God has created. This is shortly coming to an end. God is getting ready to put an end to Satan's influences.

Of course God is not in favor of everything. If He was in favor of everything, then there wouldnt be such things as sins and abominations.

Typically when it comes to an all powerful being becoming offended, the offending party ceases to exist. At least when said offended all powerful being has a history of such destruction.

God doesn't exist. This is just people trying to support their own beliefs by claiming God agrees with them.
