Just because bad things happen doesn't mean there's no God. We live in a fallen world where things like this happen. But, God is still there and He is still God. I can walk right on the side of my niece, and she could still fall down and scrape her knee. But, I will be right there to lift her up. God never said we would never have a problem, but He has promised that He will always be there to see us through. And I have faith in Him to do just that, no matter what may happen.

God wants the very best permanant help for the greatest number of people. Therefore, he has allowed hundreds of years to pass without intervening in a major way. He wrote us a wonderful letter (the Bible) explaining everything to us and promising us that no permanant damage would occur although it might seem to us that it was permanant. Soon, he will right all the wrongs with the Kingdom Government he has set up with Christ Jesus as it's princely ruler and you will begin to understand much more about the reason everything was handled in this manner. Meanwhile, read your Bible and pray for holy spirit daily. This will help you to get through the difficult times still ahead.

HOLOCAUST
"I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord's work." - Adolf Hitler, Speech, Reichstag, 1936
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior . . . . In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison.. . . As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth . . . " - Adolf Hitler, speech on April 12, 1922
9/11
Read "Operation Northwoods", the US government's formerly classified plans to develop a "terror campaign" to CREATE an "apparent threat to peace in the Western hemisphere" in 1962. Page 10 describes how to FAKE an attack using a commercial plane so to TRICK the public into supporting military action on Cuba/Castro. Sound familiar?
CHILD MURDERS
Ezekiel 9:6 "Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women . . . "
Leviticus 20:9 "For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him."

How about man taking the blame for all the hatred and murders that are committed or would that be letting us off the hook of being responsible?

Now what fun would a Utopia be? This was supposed to be an interesting experiment to relieve the boredom of the deference of Angels.
P.S. - Not a practicing Catholic.

A man gets hit by a bus and dies.
The bus stops immediately, narrowly avoiding a group of 14 schoolchildren who were crossing the street, that the bus would've flattened had it not hit the man.
One of those children grows up to be a serial killer. The serial killer kills a woman later in life.
The woman's husband in his grief takes up a calling of counselling bereaved families of crime victims, and maybe even makes a difference.
The husband finds love rekindled while counselling a bereaved widow, and they date.
She turns out to be a con, and takes him for every penny he's got.
She gets caught, goes to prison, and her story inspires another young woman to turn away from a life of theft.
The husband, meanwhile, wandering the streets penniless, walks out in front of a bus that's about to hit a group of schoolchildren......
If YOU were God, which catasrophe (and therefore which resulting miracle) would you prevent?

we have the power to help ourselves: man is responsible for all the choices he/she makes, God only allows us our choices to live our lives for the will of God, but we are the destroyers of the planet and man, The Seven Deadly Sins

It is because of the sin of man that God allows it. God gave man a free will to do with what he/she chooses, but mans' free will, God gave to us to serve Him - not sin and the devil. God judges those who commit such horrific acts also, so it's not like those who commit those crimes are getting away with anything. God will bring judgment upon them - don't worry - let God handle them! :D
