Why Does God Let Innocent People Die?(if He Exists, That Is)

Hear this.. Im not really that religious but i believe that a certain god exist.. You wont really loose anything in believing but im not convincing you to believe ok..?? What i do see is that when people are happy, living abundantly they forget about god.. Some even deny him.. But when a person suffers.. Its all god's fault... I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason and it is for the best. People are just so focused on negative things it bring and pointing fingers on who to blame.. Those who believe in god believe in everlasting life.. That is if you die here on earth another life awaits..

I struggled with this as a Christian for years. Let me ask you a question. Would you want to be put in jail for the rest of your life? No right? I think of it this way 95% of the population want to have kids right? Well I believe God wanted to have children too, so he made us...right? Well being that God made us in the very beginning of time he gave us free will to  make choices for ourself. How horrible of a life this would be if we all walked around like robots and  God with the remote control,not giving us a chance to make our own decisions that would be like being in jail wouldn't it? So if God controlled us he would also have to control every good and bad thing that people done.People ask "why did God let that murderer kill that child?" Well  that is not Gods fault that is the mans/womens fault that done it because God gave us free will to choose.A lot of us choose the good road and a lot of choose the bad road.Either way it's not Gods fault what bad happens in this world it's ours.The only way this will be a perfect world is when God takes control of every aspect of our lives and orders us around like little robots.Then when he does we'll complain about that too.

When God created the Earth and man and woman, His plan was that we would live forever.  However, through disobedience man AND woman sinned.  Therefore we live now in a fallen world and have been victims of mans first sin.  If one has asked forgiveness and accepted Christ as their personal Savior, then we need not fear death.  We will live forever in Heaven where there is no death or suffering.

Death is much more serious to humans than it is to God.He knows what is on the other side.only a few people do. Death is only bad for the people left behind.

My take on this is,  the gods put the playing field here or set the stage. The rest is up to each one of us to do the best we can with it.

God has given us free will. We have to try to do the best we can.

Well the truth is there but you have to believe it and spread it

Because there is no god

I used to seriously ask that question over and over again to people who were religious. Their answers were always repeated tape-recorder style and were usually irrelevant to what I said; also none were logical...
Hey, maybe God is an evil god and not a good one? That would explain the innocent people dying part; he could take pleasure in watching misfortunes--kinda like the people who take pleasure in watching Jerry Springer or Cheaters--and that's why he doesn't get involved.
Eh...
I'd rather think there's nothing out there. Seems a bit more optimistic, wouldn't you think?

We all die in the end, innocent or not

Who is innocent? We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  The wages of sin is death.  
Thats what the bible says so we are all sinners and no human is innocent but only Jesus who never sinned.

Well, to start off with greentree, look at the evidence of Gods existence all around us.  How do you explain how birds can fly or man and women having 10 fingers and 10 toes or how humans have the same elements that are found in the dust of the earth.  Gods creation is the best example that He exists.  Check out this website; www.thewayofthemaster.com.  Kirk and Ray can explain it more clear than I.  Second greentree, none of us are innocent.  I go back to Romans 3:9-18, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12-21.  Greentree, if you do not believe in God than you probably have a hard time grasping Gods Word.  I tell you what, get a bible (preferably KJV or older) and read Romans.  If KJV is hard to understand, maybe a New American Standard Version and see what you come up with.  To me, the Word of God is the Absolute Truth and there is no other.  You will see that God may open your eyes to the understanding of Gods Word.
