Dude. I can totally understand where it is you're coming from.
For a long long time I struggled with basically all of those things you named. [incidentally I was an atheist for a long long time as well]. Then years later [after growing alot spiritually], I came to realise that God puts us in certain situations that in the end will come to glorify Him. I mean....If I grew up a perfect sheltered lovely life....that wouldnt make my salvation very special now would it? If I hadnt come out of that dark tunnel and came to realise how amazing God is, I wouldnt be able to talk to friends who are going through the same thing.
So think about it this way:
In the long run...If you truely accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior...If you give your life over to Him...i wont say that all of the sudden things will be fine and dandy....but I will say that When all is said and done, You will always have a spiritual Father who loves you like no other person in existance. He has a plan for you. Maybe it's like mine-To witness and comfort those in similar situations.
Don't give up. Be strong. Praise Him for what you will see in the end.

First of all, I'm very sorry that you have had so many terrible things in your life. I personally do not think your WHOLE life is terrible, because you have some goodness in there -- your mom and other family members, your intelligence or whatever. Being poor isn't a bad thing, really, so I don't necessarily count that as poor if you have your health, your education and people who love you.
I also suffered abuse as a child, but I don't think that it's God's fault. Had the person who abused me believed in God and followed God, the abuse would not have happened. I believe it was the REJECTION of God that led to my abuse.
We are all supposed to take care of each other in this world. If those of us who have much would share our excess with those who have little, we'd wipe out hunger and poverty so quickly, for example. In other words, the answer to all the ills in this world is not LESS God, but more God. But that takes you and I and everybody else doing what we are supposed to do, which is feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, ministering to the sick, freeing the oppressed and showing mercy to all.

It saddens me to hear about your misfortune, but God did not plan it, because he doesn't exist.
However I'm sure there is something positive that you have gained from your past experience? Closer relationship to other family members? Inner strength? The ability to understand and help people going through what you went through?
I'm sure that if you think hard enough, you might be able to bring something positive out of your experiences, something to benefit you and maybe even others.
As the saying goes:
"It's not the hand your dealt, it's the way you play your cards."
Hope this helps.

God's greatest gift to man is will. You have the choice to make your own destiny. God gave your parents their life because of the choices their parents made and in turn the ones they made. You must break the cycle. If he beats you; you as a man will be stronger, smarter, faster, and younger with a good heart one day and will be able to protect your family from him, if need be; with righteousness. If you want to break the cycle. Our thoughts project themselves to our reality and those around us. Keep focused, study, and be prudent.

Because their IS NOT ANYONE CONTROLLING YOUR FATE BUT YOU!!!! Take controll of your own life! Anyone can change the world for the better if they have the will to do it. Dont view yourself as a puppet, but as a canvas. Paint yourself a great new picture.

Well, since you still believe in Him, He gave you your life so that you would have extremely strong faith. Everything bad you experience is just another chance to build a better relationship with God.

He didn't just give you a miserable life. He gave 90% of the people on the planet a miserable life.

God loves all of us and if you believe in him you should know that love your family including your father do not sin if you do ( we all do) ask for forgivness by confessing and do not fear or hate and when judgment comes you will be safe from hell

He?
I guess God has male gentiles now.
Its more logical to refer to God as it.

Aye, god planed all misfortune, rapes, murders, thievery's, plagues, atheists, and human violence because it tickles his fancy.
Not that kind is he?
