You can say God does not prevent it.
But would God have to prevent it, if we didn't choose it?
God gave you freewil, and you are glad to have it, many are glad they don't have to believe in God.
God made freewill
creatures---men and angels created sin and evil
WHY HASN'T MAN STOPPED EVIL AND SUFFERING?
WHY DOESN'T MAN ADMIT THAT MAN CHOOSES SIN AND EVIL?

This is a very interesting question. Man will forever blame God for not making their lives better and richer. Man doesn't understand that the flowers grow with rain as well as sun, our trials make us stronger and people who chose not to believe in this blame God for all the bad stuff in their lives. People chalk the good things up to karma or coincidence and the bad things are curses from God. Little do most of them know that Both come from God. Look at the people who wandered the desert for forty years...God rescued them from a life of slavery and provided for them but they still complained about their circumstances. Man doesn't have much faith, even Jesus said to the disciples that they had little faith and they were in his presence every day, they saw the miracles he did. We want to think as humans we are on the right path for us, we don't want to admit that we are full of evil thoughts and desires and it comes so easy for us. Man will blame God until Judgment day for all the bad things that happen to them just because it isn't blaming themselves.

First we need to understand the true picture. There is God who created everything perfect...then there was that beautiful angel Lucifer who so wanted to be God..he thought he could do things so much better than God..so, he convinced other angels to join with him in proving this..and taking Gods place. God could not allow this kind of bad thing in heaven so He kicked Lucifer..who then became known as satan..out of heaven, along with all the angels who followed him.
Satan started on his journey of trickery, deception..getting people to think bad stuff also..getting them to do what they wanted and not what God wanted...so there we have the war between God and Satan.
Now, many times in the bible we find that God tried to destroy all kinds of sin and evil..one of these is the flood..however, in that family who were saved, was ingrained sin...humans were just sinful now....so..satan had won again, he had made sure that Gods perfect plan was foiled yet again.
Now, Since this war began in heaven, all of the angels still there have no idea how all this will turn out on earth...what the full results of sin are. They witnessed sin return after the flood....they now must learn what happens when sin continues..how horrific it can end up being..so that noone in heaven will ever question or doubt Gods perfect plan again.
Man is unable to stop sin now..it has gone too far. There are many who are trying..and make a slight difference..but satan does not want it to stop.
God will not prevent the full extent of sin now until it reaches the end..until everyone who wants to accept Jesus does..then it can all be stopped. If God does not allow things to run their course now..another "satan" might say "yes but God, we didn't see what could happen at its worst, maybe sin would have died out on its own"..etc....
Satan created the evil..he persuaded angels to follow him..he persuaded people into believing his lies..now we have to wait whether we like it or not...so that all in heaven can see what happens..then God will destroy all evil..it will never rise again.
The bible has so many answers for us.

If it is true that God can do anything, then it is true that God could have created a universe in which he gave us free will and did not make it possible to suffer in the same sense that it is impossible to travel backwards through time or draw square circles. The very concept of suffering does not even need to exist. It could have been left out in the planning stage. Since there is tremendous suffering, it seems that either God wants humans to suffer (he is malevolent), he does not know about it (he is not all knowing), is incapable to avoid it (not all powerful), or doesn't exist.

It is always easier to blame someone else for the problems that befall us. God gives us a choice and without that choice we would just be robots. Man doesn't stop evil and suffering because Man is selfish and rejects the sovereignty of God. Freewill is such a great gift....

That is exactly the way that I understand the relationship between God and human beings.
We have freewill, yet we do not accept that our own choices are causing the problems, when we also have the ability to create the solutions.

Why give someone free will to begin with if your going to use it against him. ITs like well I gave you free will but I am not going to be responsible for what you do with it after the fact. Sorry doesn't wash with me. Its just a lame justification for something that no one wants to deal with. The thruth is there is no justification for it, he could prevent it if he wants to by taking away free will, then we couldnt be able to do those things and then we couldnt be judge for it either. God gets the easy way out of everything. Ill give people the means to do something but I cant be blamed for what they do with it because Im God and they have to listen to me even though I gave them a choice wheter they want to or not.

Truthfully, Man is waiting for me. The 20 year old ni**a from the ghetto who speaks 11 languages. The black kid who knows a different math, that doesn't involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The uneducated getto trash who knows the effects of supersymmetry and hyper subspace. Yes the entire world is waiting for the black savior to come and rescue them. But I will not do that this time around. You shall kill yourselves because you have asked for this judgment. And you will know who I am.

How is a baby who is born with a horrible deformity responsible for his suffering? Are you retarded or something? Many people don't cause their suffering...it was forced upon them. Your God gave others better circumstances, but allowed those people to suffer for no good reason.

I'm a man and I admit that I chose sin and evil. All have sinned, and all have fallen short of God. So when we die, for those that go to heaven, how do they turn off their ability to sin ?

Hey, I don't cause my own suffering. I recently got this big staph infection on my leg (I have no idea where it came from) and had to spend 4 days in the hospital in great pain. Perhaps you could tell me what in the universe caused this to happen.
