How the fuck can God let shit like this happen?
And, why the fuck would you worship someone who supposedly has the power to stop this but doesn't?
Read the Bible and you will see why, its called choice, God isn't supposed to control your life. We are 'fallen' and as such sin like these people. From the Garden of Eden story Satan inflitrated mankind and as such will influence things, God allows this to happen because otherwise we would have no choice, as noone has the right to judge others, in theory, and that these people will pay for their sins (unless they repent) when they die.
You open the topic up for pretty much any debate. Im not a Christian as such, but I see the logic behind the Bible. Its not about the power its not about stopping 'shit happening' as you so clearly put it. For example, you decide to go and drive a car into a wall, now you could ask why God didnt stop it, well by doing so your letting your human emotions dictate to you what should be stopped and what shouldnt be. So your saying that this is terrible and I agree, but we cant see what God wants and doesn't want. I doubt he would be any more happy to let it happen than you but original sin prevails and choice is something we still have.
The whole idea behind the Christian ethos is for YOU the individual to decide to stop doing these things, God will guide you if you ask him. But most people don't and I doubt you prayed for these people along with the girl when you read this headline. This idea of punishment and vengeance is why God doesn't interfer. If he stops it then well how do we ever know what is right and wrong....and how will we know whether to repent or not.
Im sorry if this is confusing but I doubt you will have any idea what the Bible is about or what religion is about either. Seriously, ask stupid questions because your being spontaneous is a bit of a waste of time. If you dont understand and decide to just slag off religions then really you haven't read and really dont deserve to get a response without some insults thrown in. I guess its cos Im just a fallen bastard and I get angry when I see idiots post comments about God and why he should stop everything. The reason why he doesnt is because of people like you and me....there is your answer.....now go figure it all out.
