He is always saddened by the sins of this world and our failure to turn to him for guidance and salvation.

just like he feels about everything else. he expected it. he was waiting for it. he remembers it. all because he planned it!

hahah, that sounds pretty funny that God planned 9/11, but he wouldn't be God if he didn't!

the even more ironic part is that if God knew about it and planned it to happen, the terrorists were actually doing the will of God!

further more, by US law, if God had prior knowledge of the event and orchestrated it, God is a terrorist!

wow.... not so sure where this is going, but im pretty sure ill get all sorts of thumbs down for it lol

God said the last days would perilous times.....But even at that he allowed it to happen....We still have free will but he is still in control of the universe....He allowed it to happen for a good reason. Most likely to show us we need him every moment...
The thing I think about concerning America is that because of her sins God might even let our enemies take us over.....He did that with the Jews....Some times he would help them take over cities and other times the Jews were defeated.....The foreigners are calling us the great Satan....They don't see anything Godly in the way we live....
I don't think America has measured up to the gospel as Jesus taught it...... I'm speaking of America as a whole...The majority of people don't measure up.....

Why Bad Things Happen

One way of dealing with emotions that seem to overwhelm you is to arouse your “clear thinking faculties.” (2 Peter 3:1) Try to look at things from a rational, godly point of view. For example, you may need to remind yourself that many tragedies are simply the result of “time and unforeseen occurrence.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11) Jesus Christ gave an example of this when he spoke of the collapse of a tower in Siloam. Eighteen people were killed in that local disaster. However, Jesus made it clear that the victims were not being punished by God. They died simply because they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. (Luke 13:1-5) Meditating on this fact may help you to put disasters in perspective.

Clear thinking can also prevent you from becoming “enraged against Jehovah himself” and blaming him for the sad events. (Proverbs 19:3) Far from causing our misery, Jehovah is “the God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:3) When tragedies occur, we need to draw close to him—not pull away in anger. Meditate on the Bible’s words at James 1:13: “When under trial, let no one say: ‘I am being tried by God.’ For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.”

A tragic event that occurred centuries ago in the Middle East may serve to illustrate this point. The Bible tells us that the sole survivor of that catastrophe reported: “The very fire of God fell from the heavens and went blazing among the sheep and the attendants and eating them up.” (Job 1:16) What a horrible calamity! And this terrified man obviously thought that God was responsible for it. Yet, God was not. Job 1:7-12 reveals that the fire was sent, not by God, but by God’s Adversary—Satan the Devil!

That was a unique situation: Jehovah had given Satan special permission to test Job’s integrity. So don’t conclude that Satan is directly responsible for natural disasters such as storms and floods. Even so, the Bible does say that “the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19) Hence, he can use human agents to wreak havoc and destruction.

Still, we do not need to feel helpless. Consider another incident, recorded in the Bible at 1 Samuel 22:12-23. There we learn of the vicious massacre of a group of faithful priests and their families. No doubt Satan had some role in spurring wicked King Saul on to commit this brutal act. However, faithful David, who later became king himself, wrote Psalm 52, in which he expressed confidence that God would annihilate the wicked men responsible for the calamity.—Psalm 52:5.

Similarly today, you can be sure that God will not forever tolerate Devil-inspired acts of murder and violence. Why, the Bible promises that God will soon use his Son, Jesus, to “break up the works of the Devil”! (1 John 3:8) Eventually, there will be no traces left of the damage Satan has done. By means of a resurrection, God can even restore to life individuals who have died in tragic acts of violence or terrorism.—Acts 24:15.

If everything that happens is part of God's plan, then he must be cool with 9/11.

God thinks that the only act of terrorism, was performed by our own Government on us to start this stupid war for oil.

no god

if there was, he'd be mad that a perfectly fine building (WTC 7) fell for no reason after only 4 or 5 hrs after the other 2 were hit

think about it, what building gets demolished and prepped for the same in that short amount of time?

it makes no sense

God gives people a choice on which to do. he lets you decide. if he made the decision it would be utopia.

God does not feel.

Feelings are reactionary.

To have a reaction is to experience a situation in which you didn't already know an outcome.

God is all knowing.
