This the final religious(Sorry have loads more about every other subject) Question. Answer me this Please and take your time to read it.Reply in your OWN words.I will not read quotes from your scriptures as my understanding(all be it rather simple) is they are all without exception written by a man or womans hand in the first place (as I think we can agree, all of us humans have faults and floors,so even with the best will in the world we make mistakes) this is blind faith which I feel is wrong eg. In the extreme case when you would go and blow yourself and others to bits because you think its right to do so.The question is.If I ruled over a country and saw that my people were staving, children dieing and man was killing man because he wanted to control others for his own personal gain.If I had the power to stop this,and could make everyone respect each other,get on and help each other.But Instead just stood back and watched this all going on.Would this make me rather sick or GOD ?

It would not make you God. God is God. You are human. Big difference. Also, I suspect that God, being omnipotent, would know how to spell. It's "albeit" not "all be it."
I think your question is intended to find fault with the world and blame God for not stopping the issues that you cite. Man (humanity) is the only creature with free will. If God chose to make man stop what he is doing to other people, then free will would cease and there would be nothing but obedient robots in human form. Free will allows us to choose right and wrong. We reside in a fallen world that is riddled with sin. Until the heart of each person is changed, which won't happen, there will be starvation and war and rumor of war. The earth cries out.

The thing is about people who don't believe in God is they are out of context. It's like asking a what is 1+1 without using any math.
Children dying. First, if you believe in God, the children would be guaranteed to be with God in Heaven, and they wouldn't have to grow to be so rotten or suffer the later of their life.
People starving, if no one was starving, would the people who are not starving appreciate what they have and do the best of it?
This is my opinion, anyway.

Your view of 'god' is tainted by lack of understanding. This 'god' character is not a person or an avatar or any sort... this character isn't even a character... just is. Perpetuating the spiritual energies of the world which are woven into all things... the mundane is spiritual force hardened to form... all of n is the dynamic 'god'.
People die, that is what makes life so wonderful... contrast and balance... equilibrium.

There are starving children that you can help. Jesus said to sell everything we have and give to the poor.
He laid the ground work to stop all hunger through his teachings but you refuse to listen and instead rail against God.
The fault for starvation, death, murder lies at the feet of man not God.
What is worse, a man who kills a child or a man who lets a child starve to death when they could feed them.
You are the latter.

it would make you neither, you write this as to blame God for what man kind does why, why should God go around cleaning up for our mess, if he was to feed every hungry child, would will continue to feed the others or leave it to him? man has a lot to learn, and to do this we must learn from our mistakes, without anyone to clean up for us, when everything is going OK few turn round and say thank you God, but when everything goes wrong, we blame God, we will not learn to respect each other until we learn not to be greedy

I'm not a member of any religion, but am interested in ethics, so I would suggest in answer to your question that if 'God'
(whatever you understand by the word) were to intervene whenever Man went astray, we would be no more than puppets .

Your premise is illogical thus the questions are unanswerable.
Funny how God is blamed for all the bad things that happen but never given credit for any of the good things.

what would we learn from someone who just bailed us out after providing us with everything we need to survive
there is no lesson in the easy option
when my daughter falls over a toy on the floor , i hope she realises that she only has to pick the toy up

People that take simplistic views on complicated matters, and who blame God for everything, are deceiving themselves. They show that they are not willing to be responsible, and that they have not thought everything out, thats all.

I'm sorry you have to call God a liar as He is the author of the Bible.
