Defective, because of earthquakes, fault lines, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes etc, killing sinners and innocent babies alike.
Unhappy, as every body has wories and sorrows and thousands commit suicide every year. They are effectively telling God "take back your lousy life, I do not want it"
It is no use passing the buck and blaming man and the devil and Eve who ate his apple. The blame goes to the top and I am told he has been in charge since before I was born. Unless He starts saying sorry for the mess and doing something about it, people will be voting for another president.

I am reading your replies with interest and amusement. You are still blaming man and the Devil for our ills. If God is not responsible for our well being,why do we pray and thank him every day?

Interesting question, but many people have been asking the same question for thousands of years, You might ask jehovah witnesses, they always have answers for everything even though 50% of the time, what they say is ridiculous.
JW answer is that the devil is behind everything and its all his fault.
But that is what they think.
In my opinion, Ugly and Beautiful is creation of mankind, Something that might be ugly through your eyes might be the most precious thing for another,
To have pretty, you need ugly,
To have Fat, You need slim
To have black, you need white
Someone has to suffer for the other one to be happy.
Earthquakes kill, but scientists find them amazing because they can study not only on earthquakes but also on animals, that react to them.
I am an atheist, so I dont believe its gods fault, I believe more that it is the illusion of a God that might control us that controls people. Religions roam the earth, which one is right? I dont know. According to the bible, Adam and Eve were made 6000 years ago, which is kind of stupid since archeologists discovered 3 million year old bodies, which are most alike humans... They say Dinosaurs die because they were too big to get in Noahs arch (I am not even making this up, this is what they actually think) and noah existed 4000 years ago
Dinosaurs Extinction : 65, 000, 000
So the mess is not made by god, in my opinion.

Why are you blaming God for what people have done? Sorry, but if man is responsible thats where the buck stops. As far as blaming the devil, well, there are some things he is responsible for, but hey, no need getting the devils help to screw things up -
man can do that quite well on his own. Want an example? How about YOU.
As far as Eve goes, theres no such apple in the Bible, so we will just leave that to Biblical illiteracy on your part.
Natural occurances such as earthquakes are just that. Natural.
Now lets talk about you thinking we need a new God, or new president as you say - I've got some really great news just special for you:
God wants you to choose that president - thats why you are here. You are working perfectly in Gods plan. God insists that you have the choice, and nobody can take it from you. Sounds like you made it, so good for you!!
Oh, and you sit there and wait for that apology. I'm sure an answer will come - of sorts.

God is not a man that He should lie. Listen, God created the heavens and the earth and set laws in place. He said if we disobeyed His laws then even He could not stop the destruction that would come on us. Did mankind listen? No! So God sent a flood. Then decided he would never do that again. Once God has set laws in place He won't change it just to be cheeky with you or me. Think of Him like Donald Trump. Do you think Donald Trump is going to let you change his laws. No! He's going to fire your rear, becuase you are the one that did not follow by the rules and let yourself get into the situation in the first place. Do you think Donald is going to let you run His Empire without making sure you follow by the rules he created. Remember, God created you. He takes ownership in His creation. Becuase God can't change his law he came in the form of flesh and died for us so that we would have salvation. You can tell God anything you want. If your mad at Him, scream and yell at Him. Cuss Him out if you want. Get it off your chest. He already knows what's in your heart. You might as will not pretend like there is nothing wrong. You will feel so much better after you do. I did this once. Cussed Him out bad too. Told Him I hated Him. Once I got finished yelling to the top of my head outside where even the neighbors heard me I walked back towards the house. I heard a quiet voice say, "I still love you anyway!" But my neighbor came down and chewed me out. Told me that God would strike me dead. He was talking fluff and I knew it. I knew that God forgave me. That was 11 years ago. I am still alive.

Life is not a democracy - the only vote you get is what you want to do with your life.
But don't blame God. God is not a puppet master. He gave human beings free will and turned them loose. Some things just happen - tsunamis, earthquakes. Other things are caused by human beings - starvation, persecution, cruelty, oppression. Don't blame God. He won't interfere with our free will, so we can complain and moan - or we can change things.
Today - at least in the U.S. - more and more people somehow feel the government should be responsible for everything. A hurrican blows down my house - the government should build me a new one. My brother dies in a fire - the government should pay me. I got sick at work - the government should pay my hospital bills.
The government is us. Same thing with God. We are the ones in charge - and ultimately responsible for what goes on. The principal of a school is not responsible if someone hits you on the playground. Your boss is not responsible if the worker next to you steals your idea, or embezzles money from the petty cash drawer. God is not responsible if you turn into a thief.

Wait !..... What ? Are there still humans in this Information Age that actually think the spoken words of a group of ancient illiterate (Middle East during the early Bronze Age) witch burning, sorcerer killing, sand beaten goat herders as words from one of the 100's of gods they developed during the era of the gods ? Please.... If you want to be respectfully treated like a ******* human.... Act like it. Degrading humanity with ancient stories developed by middle Eastern men in a time And place where knowledge was not aavailable, nor needed.... Is not only supporting the middle eastern tradition of stupidity.... But you are also degrading what billions of half decent people have learned and discovered over the last 2000 years... Stop the stupidity... End all the middle eastern religions developed by cave dwelling goat herders !

What was the world before sin entered? Perfect and peaceful, just like heaven. Why did sin enter? Because man thought the creature was just as good as the creator. So is our sinful, unhappy world God's fault? NO! It's entirely ours! But God, in His grace and love, has given us a second chance. If we put our trust in Him, He will take us to heaven to live with Him forever - back into perfection and peace. What more can we ask? Just please don't blame God for sin and destruction.

This depends on your belief. Biblically, God created a paradise for his first human creation, at what is now Iraq. There would have been no suffering, no death, etc. Since Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, they got the boot out of Eden and missed out on 100% blessings of God. Same goes with their descendents.
The systems of the world are created by imperfect humans, therefore are imperfect. As for natural disasters, we'll have to deal with them until the second coming of Christ. Even Jesus was able to control the elements, such was the example of when he and some of his apostles were on the Sea of Galilee, when a storm came up. Jesus quickly hushed the storm away, to the amazement of his apostles. So God can do the same, but will not until the right time.
For now, God is giving Satan a chance to prove that man does'nt need God, yet Satan is failing miserably. Someday the test will be over.

lol....after becoming a christian it became clear to me, why people rebel, and why the GOD with perfected wisdom, made it difficult for us to find his path. Nothing good comes easy, as you work four years for a degree, a child is born after nine months etc etc. The world needs to be this way, and human being in order to be perfected.Those who die in earthquakes etc etc, they are under GODS care. You see, this world isnt heaven, and if it were, I wouldnt want to be here. Do not fret my friend, continue to live in this fashion, and this life you reject shall be taken away for you, but you then shall arise again. Its not your choice, Why do you reject that which is GOOD? If you had children, wouldnt you want them to be sturdy and strong? When someone goes to the military, are they not trained? This is a tranining ground, and to focus on that which you cannot prevent, is a waste of time. Life is Good my friend. Embrace GOD, know the LORD died for you and your heart will be comforted in due time.

God created the earth.
We walked away from God not the other way around.
When we all accept the true teaching of God (by whatever path)
then God will return. Until then we will 'stew in our own juice' so to speak.
Flesh is flesh only the holy spirit is eternal.

The world is like a black board. It is up to us what we write on it.
We affect our environment and the environment affects us.
If we change our ways and start going God's ways, i.e. using the Creation the way it was intended to be, things will become much better.
It is because of sins on all levels that invokes the suffering that we may learn our lessons.
God has no problem to say sorry but it doesn't change our hearts. It wouldn't make any difference.
