See that's the problem right there. Most everyone wants someone to blame for all the crappy injustice of this world so why not blame God?
It's like some blaming the govt. for being poor when the govt. supposedly has all this money to hand out. I have to agree with some in this forum, God is not to blame, He did not create war and violence, we do that all by ourselves. He does not spread ideaology to kill in His name, man does that.
Why he allows it to happen I can only speculate. Maybe He sees us as pigs who enjoy wallowing in their own filth. For whatever reason, I'm sure it's an explanation we as humans are not worthy of contemplating. Or maybe we just don't want to hear it.

The world looks the way it does because of the effect of sin. God is great because He loves us even though we are sinners. All death, disease, suffering started in the garden of Eden when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God. What we see all around us is the effect of thousands upon thousands of years of the snowball effect on sin on this present world.
One day God will step in and end it all. The rule of Jesus Christ will make everything right. But right now, God is allowing people the opportunity to repent of sin and accept Jesus. There will come a time when this opportunity will be no more.

He's going to change things soon. A day to Jehovah is a thousand years. What ever harms that have been done, he can undo. We bring most of the miseries upon ourselves, including the violent weather, by polluting the environment and upsetting balance. If everyone believed in the true God, I'm sure things would be more mellow, because Jehovah always takes care of his people. If harm does occur to them, it is to serve a purpose, and he elevates them for enduring trials on his behalf.

If God could stop all suffering and injustice but allows it to continue, then God must be some kind of sadist who enjoys seeing us suffer for some reason or another. Perhaps he finds us more entertaining this way, like how people like to watch shirtless imbeciles fight on Jerry Springer.

My God is a big meanie with a sick sense of humor by human standards but I can't judge what passes for funny or moral obligation for a God. God has a different spin on things than me; I like people by and large, and it would seem God doesn't have the same Universal love for humanity that I do. I equate it to our dealing with insects, some seem beneficial to our pursuits and are therefore encouraged or at least allowed to exist within our sphere of influence. Others are troublesome or merely unsightly so we crush them or drown them, chemical them...whatever works. Sort of like God with us. Mostly God's just indifferent, like a rich person or a rock star would be and who can blame them or God for that matter, they got it going on and would just get bummed out if they had to deal with normal everyday disasters all the time. I hope this helps, toodle ooo!

Since you don't believe in God, then you must believe that suffering and injustice shall always exist. Now that is sad. Because I do believe in God, and I know that one day he will wipe away every tear.

'This question seems in a certain sense inseparable from the theme of suffering. The Christian response to it is different, for example, from the one given by certain cultural and religious traditions which hold that existence is an evil from which one needs to be liberated.
Christianity proclaims the essential good of existence and the good of that which exists, acknowledges the goodness of Creator and proclaims the good of creatures. Man suffers on account of evil, which is a certain lack, limitation or distortion of good. We could say that man suffers because of a good in which he does not share, from which in a certain sense he is cut off or of which he has deprived himself. He particularly suffers when he "ought" -- in the normal order of things -- to have a share in this good and does not have it.
Thus, in the Christian view, the reality of suffering is explained through evil, which always in some way refers to a good.' (Pope John Paul II, Salvifici Doloris)

If suffering and injustice is within the heart of man, then that's what man will see on the perifery (within the world).
What is above so is below!

are you more comfortable with the idea of being stuck in an evil world subject to random chaotic violence without God?
actually God created a good world, with good angels, good people and a good universe but the good world fell and became corrupt and someday the world will be restored for the redeemed and the glory of God
