God be Glorified, He does not need any help and we all need His Help. His Help comes to those who help themselves to be a better person. Remember God said to Angels "I will create a vicegerent on earth." but it is we, the vicegerents of earth who are not doing the good job.

we're not in heaven yet......to the best of my knowledge, the one true path is not the one taken by the masses.
This world is run by the collective of the masses....the few that understand their responsibility to be the Light of the world understand that sometimes God does need help. I have hope that there are some out there that can reach or be helped to reach their maximum potential through seeing others live a spiritually responsible life a God centered life a life of LOVE.
Not everyone is open to go straight to God in a bold way right off the bat...sometimes people need to see examples of what can be in real live flesh and blood before they'll trust that God even exists.....
I think we are here to choose to believe or not and learn to love.... there are so many out there who don't believe...
God is not a dictator....

Have you ever read Genesis beyond the first couple of chapters?
If you have you will note that God lost control of humanity with Adam and Eve and with the next generation came the first fratricide when Cain killed Abel.
God doesn't run this world; to some extent (and not as much as he thinKs he does) man runs it, and man isn't doing a very good job of running the world.
God doesn't need help from us. We need help from Him.

God can fix the world as easy as I eat a steak :)
We are chosen to take good care of the earth.
We screwed the earth up, God didn't...
We are the ones who are not doing good job running the world.

This man goes in to the barber. They begin to talk about everything. Then the topic of God came up. The pleasant
converstaion suddenly changed to hostile. The barber went on to tell the man that he did not belevie that there was a God.
The man did not wanna argue and he could not think of nothing to say. THe man went on with his belief. He said just look out there -- there are hurting people -- homeless people=
robbers etc, so the man left the shop.
when he was walking to his car he saw a man with very long hair.It had not been washed, nor had it been cut in a very long time.
so , he went back into the shop. He said to th barber, I do not believe in barbers. I do not think they exist. The barber laughed , yeah right .The man said well why is there people out there with long dirty stinky hair? the barber said casue they do not come to me. Then the man said well the same with God. The people do not come to him. He is not the author of confusion. The devil came to destroy not God.

No He doesn't. What the world is and will be is up to God, if you cannot see how He is in control then perhaps you do not appreciate that there is gravity, that there are laws in place that prevents the earth from orbiting into the sun and so on...God is in control and will forever be.

If you read the Bible, you'll find out that He's not running the world. He is ultimately in control, now and always has and will be, but satan is the ruler, the prince of the air (earth). Adam was given rulership by God, but gave this over to satan once Adam sinned. Satan tried to give this back to Jesus when satan tried to tempt Jesus with it if Jesus would bow down to satan. But of course Jesus who did not, quoted Scriptures instead. But, at Jesus Second Coming, Jesus will reclaim this earth and renew it and reign and rule it!! Satan rules this earth, Man has ruined it and Christ will reclaim it! So, now before ya judge God, please read and understand what it's really all about. God bless

Probably because millions of people across the world toss aside their responsibility to improve society, and place it in the hands of a deity we can't even confirm the existence of.

Oh I don't know.. I think he's doing a fine job considering. I don't think we're being very good inhabitants. IF a friend asked us to house-sit, is this how we would take care of their house for them?

Actually, Satan is the ruler of this world. God allows him to do certain things. So, in actuality, Satan is not doing a very good job. However, there is hope!! Everything works to the will of God, and He has sent Jesus to be our sacrifice to take us away from the certain doom that would have awaited us!! Rejoice!!
