Three million people gathered in Bangladesh this weekend for to ask God to bring about world peace. So many times this kind of thing happens. Everyday millions of people ask for the same in private prayer. If God exists why doesnt it give humanity world peace? What kind of a God denies the world peace if it has the power at any time to bring it about?

And what do you suppose God should do to bring about world peace?let us first do our duty correctly then we'll blame Him..is world-peace non-existant because God has made it so or because of us?how can we ask Him when we ourselves arent ready to forgive and to forget?

The nonexistent kind, dear.
This is an old problem known as The Riddle of Epicurus, who put it this way:
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Therefore the all Knowing, all powerful, all loving god we've all heard so much about is logically impossible.
If he allows children to get cancer, and allows tsunamis and hurricanes to kill thousands; if he allows bad men to rape women; if he even allows evil to exist in the world, then:
1) he can't be all loving, or
2) he can't know about it, or
3) he's not powerful enough to stop it.
You can have two out of these three, but not all three.

No such thing as god. Prayers are only useful as a vocalization of your goals. Church is only useful for bringing people together to a place where they can judge each other on things like how well dressed they are. OH YA and getting time off work for holidays.

God has a plan, we may not know what that is, but it is still His plan. God does answer prayers. It may not be what you want, but it will be what God wants. All people have to do is submit to the Will of God and not our own.

The bible it's self said there will never be peace. As long as people have greed and hate in their hearts they will aways be wars.
God gave people the freedom of will.

When you make a call to a number that doesn't exist then you are not going to get your call through.
