Why would a loving God permit such evil in the world?

To Jason: Why would God who claims to love man create an angel whom he foreknew

would become the source of ALL EVIL... set up creation with the object by which

man would fall from grace... then drop satan into the garden to tempt man?

why would a loving god create the very system of atonement that would nail his boy to a cross?

your god is f'd up man... f'd up and brutal. he is a blood thirsty, illogical ghoul who not

only created sin.. he sanctions its continued existence.

Answer = Who is God? Everyone has the wrong answer.
I have a hypothesis: I am beginning to think that
there is only one way that God could exist and that
is for God to experience. For God to know all, God
would have to experience all - the good, the bad,
the ugly and the beautiful. Also, Christians claim
that one of the attributes of God is omnipresence,
but have they really thought out what that means?
If God is everywhere (which gives Him the ability
to know everything), God would also have to BE
everything --- that includes us! Therefore, we
must be a micro God - god with a small "g".
Our ability to create reality is exactly equal to
our ability to affect the space around us and the
people we influence. This is the exact same power
God wields - His power is limited to His ability to
affect the space around Him; ergo, all space and his
ability to influence the people around Him; ergo, all
people. Sin is simply not recognizing that you are God;
that your power over reality is the same that Jesus had,
that your power to heal is the same as Jesus had, that
your power to perform miracles is the same that Jesus
had. All the evil in the world is not created by God -
it is Allowed by God - we create it by not realizing
that our power over creation is equivalent to the power
Jesus had - only now we operate by default. The reality
we create is equal to the poop we put into our minds,
the nasty beliefs we hold, our attitudes to ourselves
and others and the degree of love we hold in our
hearts - first to ourselves because only then can we
truly love another. When we fix all that, Earth will
become Paradise - a New Eden.

God, Suffering and the Tragedy in Haiti

200,000 dead. In recent years, only the tsunami in Indonesia was greater in its death toll. Humanitarian aid pours in, but much is blocked due to a one runway airport and poor public roads. People are starving, running out of clean water, people are dying. It seems incomprehensible that a Loving, Gentle God could allow such a tragedy as this to occur. But, obviously it has happened. There will be those who proffer platitudes such as "It builds faith," "God's ways are incomprehensible to man," "The grace of God is found in compassion, compassion is found in the heart, the heart is activated by sorrow and helplessness." There may be some truth to that last one, but we can;t escape the fact of a tragedy on an immense scale and it doesn't answer the question, "Why?"

This may seem an odd place and time to mention this, but there is a book that explains this. It tells why God allows suffering and what we can do to prevent such tragedies in the future. This is an honest, careful look at God and tragedy and the meaning of suffering and your role in how it all happens. Perry Jones explores this concept with his book "Why Does God Allow Suffering?"
