You said that, god made everything for us and you are trying to say that he has a control over us. HMMM. So far so good. Then why the hell he is killing people with tsunamsi, earth quakes and floods. Why the hell he could only make 3% or earth's water pottable? I dont want any proverbs or cliches or lawyers here for god but plain answers from unchained brains.

None of those things can be answered because there is no god. There is nature, science and all types of other wonderful things that we can experience because they're real.

I can buy the believer's "we have free will" argument when I question them about a child being raped or people being killed. God has no control over people and what they will do, hence, free will.

But what about nature and weather? Surely he has some hand in what happens in our world that humans cannot control? To say it's because we have free will is a ludicrous response to tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, etc.

so basically you are asking why is evil in this world? because we messed up. God made this world to be perfect and we sinned. Ever since man sinned, eath and disease entered the earth. It wasn't God's original plan for tsunamis, hurricanes, fires and other natural disasters to destroy people's homes or to take people's lives. However, when you are His child, you can have the hope that no matter what happens, God has promised to never leave you nor forsake you! And if God forbid, you leave this earth early than you can spend an eternity in heaven, where there are no tsunamis or tornadoes! Trust me, God does care about every single person on this earth and it breaks His heart to see people suffering!

Suffering is the result of human sin.
The world is not the way that God created it, and because of that, all are vulnerable to the affects of sin in the world.
Why does one person suffer and another does not?
Why do catastrophes happen to some and not to others?
It is because sin is in the world.
But there will come a day when the Lord will return and cleanse this world of all sin and all suffering.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Rev. 21:4).

As far as I know, my brain is unchained. I do believe in God and love the beautiful creations. I don't know why we don't live in a safe place. Maybe since people, not all, but way too many, are hurtful to others, greedy, hateful, decietful, blind to others suffering, and just plain mean and nasty. Maybe we get the world we deserve. I am by no way saying everyone here is bad, or at least, not very nice. But maybe nice people have to be here to try to help the ones that need to learn how to love. I don't know the answer to your question,,,,,,

You need to unchain your brain. Stop thinking of God as some sort of sugar daddy who is supposed to "fix" everything and keep things nice while we sin and do what the heck we want.

We want God to make everything nice, but please, stay out of our lives, don't tell us how to live, don't annoy us with requests for obediance, morals and values...ugh!!! But...make it so no one dies, nothing really bad ever happens...

Please unchain your own mind and see that God has given us the freedom to make our own way in this world and we have brought these things on ourselves! You reap what you sow!

When God created this world He created it to be perfect. Everything was perfect in the beginning. God allowed man to made his own decisions. Man decided to disobey God and because of man's sin we have to suffer from all the bad of this world. One day this world will be perfect again. All who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior will live in a perfect world again and be perfect and those who have not will live in Hell with Satan. Have you accepted Jesus? If not I advise you to do so, we never know when we will die.

Lets put this way, the material body is temporary and perishable, it appear when take birth, stay for some time, reproduce, and then die, or get killed, whatever.
And the nature of this material world is the world of death, nobody will survive. Instead blaming God, or denying His existence, we better find some way to get our here. Because you and me, we are going to die also.

Yes, God did created this universe. It is the cause of sin that all these terrible things are happening in our society. God hates sin, so therefore, sin will be punished.

He's not killing people, those things happened because we live on the Earth. The Earth is not Heaven; it is not perfect. These things will occur here.

The Seven Seals

John cried upon learning that no one was worthy to open the scroll. He continues: "But one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals’" (Revelation 5:5). The Lion of the tribe of Judah is Jesus Christ—here He begins to open the scroll that had been sealed with seven seals.
"Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, ‘Come and see.’ And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer" (Revelation 6:1). Thus begins Revelation 6, in which six of the seven seals are described. The first four seals are the famous four horsemen of the apocalypse. What do these seals mean? Christ is the Revelator, so we look to Him for the interpretation. One basic key to understanding the Bible is the principle "the Bible interprets the Bible" and we will find in Matthew 24 Jesus Christ’s own explanation of the signs of the end of the age, and the seals’ significance.
Some commentaries wrongly interpret the first seal to mean that Christianity will evangelize the world and conquer it spiritually. But when we examine Christ’s words in Matthew, we come to a very different conclusion. Jesus warns his followers: "Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many" (Matthew 24:4). Compare this to Revelation 6 and we can see that the first horse and its rider represent FALSE Christs and FALSE religion.
Notice the difference between this first horse and its rider, and the description of the true Christ at His return. The first horseman of Revelation 6 carries a bow, and wears one crown. By contrast, Revelation 19:15 describes Jesus Christ returning to this earth with a sharp sword, and Revelation 19:12 pictures Him as wearing MANY crowns. Clearly, the man on the white horse in Revelation 6 is NOT the true Christ. We must heed Jesus Christ’s warning to beware of false Christs, false messiahs, and counterfeit religion.
Jesus’ words in Matthew go on to describe the second horseman: "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places" (Matthew 24:7).
The second horseman of Revelation 6 rides a red horse. We read: "Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword" (Revelation 6:4). The parallel with Christ’s words in Matthew is clear.
The third seal of Revelation 6 depicts a rider on a black horse revealing famine in the world. The fourth seal presents a rider who is given the name "death." He rides a pale horse indicating the pestilence following on the heels of famine. Yes, these are the same famines and pestilences of which Jesus Christ spoke in Matthew 24:7!
The effects of these four horsemen are devastating: "And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth" (Revelation 6:8). One-fourth of the earth’s population will die! These are realities few people are willing to face! But your Savior wants you to know what lies ahead—He wants you to be able to prepare, for your own good and indeed for your salvation!
The fifth seal, in Revelation 6:9, depicts the martyrdom of the saints and the persecution of Christians. This is a historical fact—in the first century after Christ, the Roman empire under Nero persecuted thousands of Christians and put them to death—but it also refers to a future revival of the Roman Empire that will again persecute true Christians!
After the Great Tribulation, the sixth seal will be opened—a series of heavenly signs. The Apostle John wrote: "I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place" (Revelation 6:12).
Do you appreciate the magnitude of this seal? The earth will convulse with a great earthquake. People will be terrified of meteorites and asteroids streaking through the sky. God will physically shake the earth to get our attention!
In the face of this great show of God’s power, even dictators and despots will be humbled. We read: "And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves >in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’" (Revelation 6:15–17)
These terrifying signs introduce the dramatic Day of the Lord. And what is that day called? "The great day of His wrath." The Lamb, Jesus Christ, will be wrathful! Some professing Christians may find it hard to accept that Jesus will be angry, but we see it clearly here—He has the power and the right to judge rebellious nations. These nations and alliances will quickly learn that their military and political strengths are weak and worthless against the divine power of God! This power will be demonstrated not only during the sixth seal, but during the final, seventh seal—the great day of God’s wrath, the Day of the Lord.........
