However due to the length of time that has passed since the biblical days, such beliefs have been swayed by much questioning and doubt. So really it all comes down to how you feel on such a topic
Don't get me wrong,I am a firm believer in god,but if he's so mighty and great,and if he is so fair and equal and loves everybody the same,no matter what,how come innocent blood is always shed?How come criminials get away with gruesome crime??Why is it that during war,it is always the children and helpless who always end up suffering?Is there any logical answer to this question or is it something we will never understand?

I said this once before, but ok, I'll say it again.I heard this and it made since to me. What do you think?
When there was war in Heaven, Lucifer was casted out with 1/3 of the angels. Now God could of just destroyed Lucifer and those angels, but how would the other 2/3 of the angels feel about that..Thinking "Don't go against God because He will just destroy you." They would then just serve him out of fear of being destroyed themselves. God didn't want them to serve him out of fear, so to show the 2/3 of the angels how wise his words were in the way he ran things, so to say, he let them see for themselves what happens when you disobey what he says is wise. Seeing what that sin does and is doing here and now, they watch...
Now they can see for themselves...God did say though that He will distroy Satan and the evil angels and that they will be "forever, no more."
I agree.

Thats why Im a satanist, if god is so powerful then why does he let this happen? Because he likes to see us suffer
He lets it happen because people abandoned God if they trusted God and obeyed and done what he said this wouldn't have happened, so its all humans fault. Satan HATES all humans because he wanted to help create earth but God didn't let him so he rebelled. and then read debbiejos post.

Dont be so stupid. I think even you know full well no one can stop crime.
Explanation:
God has given mankind a warning.
Tony Blair has given Britain rules.
Atheists has pushed this warning aside.
Criminals have pushed these rules aside.
God sends people to prevent atheism.
Tony blair sends police to prevent crime.
God has given you a choice, if you are going to commit a crime such as murder you do so, but you'll be punished severly for it in hell.
PS: I think u'll find many forms of crime can be prevented.

In my religion there is a part of scripture. I cannot recall where it is, but it was a powerful verse that explained this question better than I've ever heard.
*The blood of the innocent will stand as a witness against the crimes of man in the last day.*
That's not the direct quote, but that's pretty much the way it was said. my wording may be a bit more modern than in the scripture. But that was the jist of it.
Basically, the innocent must sometimes die to truly condemn the wicked. It's harsh, I know, but it is how it must play out. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "The Meek shall inherit the earth" ? Well, I believe that's because thier witness, their blood will rid the world of the wicked and corrupt. God wants us all to return to Him, we're all his children...no matter our color or rank in life. He loves us all. He is our Eternal Father. However, as some children tend to rebel against thier parents, so too do we. And some of us will never return. I can't believe that God wants this, but it is the law in heaven that only the worthy may enter. That's where Christ comes in. He's the mediator for us. He paid the price of sin that those of us that accept His sacrifice may partake of His mercy and return home to our Eternal Family. Don't fear for the innocent that die...they are the ones that will be in better care than those of us that remain here on the Earth.

i had the same question a while back but someone told me that just because some one suffers doesn't mean that God doesn't love you, or he can't stop bad things from happing to you. Think of it this way, Jesus suffered ten times worse then alot of people when he was beaten and died on the cross. If he suffed on earth then that means we all have to suffer through something whether it's phisical, emotional or mental pain.
In away, God just does that to test our faith;
And plus the bad things are also the Devils work.
Thats why you have to stay free from temtation
