Okay, He says that He only likes America right now, but things will improve in the next 500 years, after the aliens invade. Just be patient.

because if he intervenes the human race becomes reliant on him. This is not good for the long term well being of human kind.

He apparently has the ability to make all of us live forever in eternal bliss, I fail to see the long term negative side effects of everlasting happiness, to be honest.

What do you mean it has nothing to do with anything? If God is playing strip poker, of course he can't help starving children. And if the rumors I've read are true, he's looking forward to seeing Jesus naked.

Because they are casualties in the war of good vs evil; (god and devil) and God is probably to busy fighting off other evil implications that the devil is trying to carry out in other parts of the world. Just a thought.

Intervening = loss of free will = not goodbluezy

But he already does intervene in the form of religion. You aren't allowed to do many things, which means he limits your free will. Religion has a lot of control over you, which means that god has a lot of influence over you. Influence that allows him to command you.

The thing is that god says: "Hey, that's fine with me but if you don't listen to me, I will send you to hell." This isn't really a choice he's giving you. He makes it sound like you have a choice but the choice is an illusion. You are forced to listen out of fear because you don't want to go to hell.

My point is that god already does intervene and to a certain degree, he takes away your free will.

Yeah, like in Final Fantasy. God may have started out stronger, but then he wasted his time playing mini-games while the devil was levelling up.

Ever thought God gave us the means to help ourselves and others? Thats what he wants...the Rich don't get richer because of God, and the poor dont get poorer because of God. So how about you rephrase your title to:

Why don't WE help all those straving, dying children in the other countries?

Yes, but some people were born in this 'jail' and will probably stay there till their death.

Isn't there a problem here?

Because we can't, many western countries have their own problems, and sending money doesn't make much difference when governments are corrupt, wars are rampant, and money is not used properly.

It's not god. It's other people. If you know anything about religious teachings then you'd know that god gave us the ability to choose for ourselves how we want to live. I assume you are talking about the christian god. The whole point is freedom to be either good or evil. I'ts not god and never is. It's us, and I'd like to point out that suffering is necessary. Without suffering tell me how you'd ever expirence pleasure? You wouldn't have a clue how to sense anything.

Wait, let me actually think from a Christian stand point. If the idea of being saved by God is based around faith, wouldn't his direct interference in the world basically say "okay you have a free card. here I am so believe me". It would have a major influence on a person's "free will" when it's not up to faith and there's evidence

WHy? Does god enjoy pain? The rich become more rich and the poor become more poor. God does not help. Millions of children dying and starving. Wow God wow.\Soulkiller225

Maybe it is the fact that man hates Him so much they would rather others starve to death than live for Him. If Christ and God's laws were obeyed there would not be one single starving person in the world, but no. Man has to have His own way. Man thinks himself better and smarter than God. Man will answer for this rebellion one day,

14It was of these people, moreover, that Enoch in the seventh [generation] from Adam prophesied when he said, Behold, the Lord comes with His myriads of holy ones (ten thousands of His saints)

15To execute judgment upon all and to convict all the impious (unholy ones) of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed [in such an] ungodly [way], and of all the severe (abusive, jarring) things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. -Jude-

Ever think of why they are starving? Other evil men oppress them? Men who would rather have their way than obey God's holy laws. Read Exodus 20 and tell me where there is evil in that? Read the life of Christ and tell me where it is you get that kind of thinking. Christ loved with a kind of love men can never understand (Jeremiah 31:3). God loves with a pure, holy lovfe but men would rather kill Him (Psalm 2) than live for such a great God.

Because most of those kids do drugs and listen to rock and roll. At a certain point, leaving coal in their stockings once a year just doesn't cut it.

Isaiah 46:9 - [Earnestly] remember the former things, [which I did] of old; for I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is none like Me."

Psalm 97:2 - Clouds and darkness are round about Him [as at Sinai]; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

Isaiah 44:6 - Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the First and I am the Last; besides Me there is no God.

Jeremiah 10:10-12 - But the Lord is the true God and the God of truth (the God Who is Truth). He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, and the nations are not able to bear His indignation.

11Thus shall you say to them: The gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.

12God made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and by His understanding and skill stretched out the heavens.

That is the great God I serve. He is love as it says in 1 John. He is also holy, righteous, and just. He will not acquit the wicked. (Nahum 1)
