Who is responsible for men and women helping others, raising funds, and helping to cure the world's ills, like starvation, poverty, abuse, neglect?
What inspires this and does God/Jesus care at all how people help animals, environment, people, children and do for others,
or is God not impressed and those people shouldn't bother????

Specifically, when the charities or the givers are not necessarily Christian....
What then? they burn in hell anyway and they shouldn't bother to feed the hungry or raise funds, give donations?
Mainly, who inspires compassion and giving? A diety? Or is it from man?

Free will is responsible. God or Lucifer might influence people's choices but ultimately it's up to the person. It's like me suggesting that you wear a green shirt tomorrow. I might influence you to consider it but it's your free will that determines if you want to do it or not.
As for if God or Jesus cares...I think any diety would care, though if their truly God they'd already have an idea of what will happen to begin with.

Your question is the same time a statement which is wrong in the first place. You are saying something as if it is general knowlege and people unanimously think so. You are accusing God as the cause of all that is bad in the world and rank Him equal with Satan.
If there are two opposite characters in rivalry, it is only natural that each will try to appear the best in front of the public. So charities as outward appearances do not prove anything.
God is being accused, and the present life is a stage witnessed by all the creatures or living beings. There is going to be a final judgment when the sentence is given, and every knee shall bow and every tongue confess about who is the the good one and who is the bad one. For people who have spiritual eyes, this is quite evident even now. But the rest will admit it a the final scene or the conclusion of the Drama of the Ages.

I really had to think twice about answering your question. You are either a person of the world that believes in no God, or you are a complete mixed up individual with no clue as to who or what God is all about.
You start your question by placing the name Satan before God. That right there raises many red flags. You go on to say that the bad in this world is the responsibility of God and Satan. More flags.
You then list nice things that both the good and bad people of the world do and require an answer as to who made them do it. What's wrong with you?
I can tell that you are illiterate when it comes to understanding the Word of God. That's too bad. There is where you need to be.
I hope that someday, some how, you will come to know God and that you will be at peace.><>

Here is a question to ask evolutionists and atheists - where did Love come from? The answer is in 1 John 4:7, which says "Beloved, let us love one another for love is of G-d . . ."
when men do good things for other people, it is love of humanity; and where did they get the inspiration for this love? Look at the Gospels and see what the Son of G-d did. The only one who is accountable for all of the worlds ills, is Satan.

Man is responsible for his own charities. Anytime the world gets help of any kind only man is responsible. It was man not God or Jesus pulling people out of the tsunami. It was man not God or Jesus pulling people out of Katrina. It may have been God that sent it but It was damn sure man pulling them out. And when man failed to act God didn't come along and take up the slack. No people died. OO

Many people have great love and compassion for humanity without claiming a personal god or religion. Just goes to show you, if there really is a god he hid his true nature inside of man. Something we find within and bring out and not something outside we have to bring in.

easily, the bible makes it quite sparkling that god invented evil -- this is in Isaiah. so as that vindictive arseface is finally responsible for each undesirable deed, considering he's meant to be the merely good author. To argue in the different case is to contradict scripture. i change right into a christian, earlier I examine the bible and realised it change into all bullshit. i'm responsible for my own moves. Christians merely use the 'blame devil' argument to dodge duty for his or her own behaviour. this is way a lot less stressful than performing like a grown up.

God had to allow Satan to try his hand at running the world from the begining of man and woman. Satan challanged God when, in front of millions of God's spirit sons in heaven told Eve you will not die if you eat of the forbidden fruit when God said she would.What was God to do? Kill Adam and Eve and start again? No,He allowed Satan to try it his way first.Take a look around at his earth! Even Jesus when on the earth called Satan the ruler of this world. Fortunatly God,in the VERY near future is going to restore this planet back to a beautiful place to live again minus those who will not do His will. Remember in the Lord prayer" Let Your kingdom come on THIS eart as it is in heaven.
Thank you for your time

some of the most generous and kind people I know do not necessarily believe in God but still have a deep love for their fellow man

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of lights. James 1:17
All the good is from God. God rejoices in every act of mercy for every suffering being.
