Yes mad. Now it sounds like you're saying that because G** allows free will, people shouldn't believe in him. That's ridiculous, to be honest. G** allowed free will because he didn't want to force us to do anything. You can't force people you love to do stuff. That isn't love.  It's not G**'s fault that people are so horrible. It's like blaming a car company because there are bad drivers. They can't control the fact that people want to act foolishly. And guess what??? THAT ISN'T G**?? In the Bible, G**/Jesus speaks out about cruel people. G** doesn't like it either. He doesn't like the fact that his children, the people he took time to knit in the womb,  are so cruel. Jesus SPEAKS OUT abt hypocrisy! He was crucified because he spoke out about that stuff. 

@Gojos bottom half Slavery: Exodus 21:16, Exodus 21:2, Ephesians 6:5, Philemon 1:15-16. G** doesn't like slavery, but because it happened, he gave us rules to abide. But humans, with their free will, ignored them.  Pastors Molesting Children: Luke 12:2, Genesis 34. This woman, Dinah, was raped, and her brother killed every male. Matthew 18:6 (Jesus doesn't play when it comes to harming children), Psalm 127:3, Isaiah 10:1-2, Leviticus 18:6-30. ( G** lays down boundaries to protect people from sexual abuse)  Deuteronomy 22:25-27 (This is so important. G** distinguishes between the victim and the abuser and holds the abuser responsible.) 2 Samuel 12: G** exposes it. He says ra** is EVIL! He doesn't glorify it. You want more verses showing that G** doesn't like to see his children get hurt?? I haven't even started on the war yet! G** is not cruel. No sin is left unpunished. Proverbs 11:21! WAR: Psalm 46:9 G** once again doesn't glorify war. He puts an END to it. Isaiah 2:4 G** desires a future without war!!  Matthew 5:9 G** honors those who build peace, not those who glorify violence. Micah 4:3 G** wants worldwide peace! Hosea 2:18 G** promises a land where weapons are gone and people are safe. Proverbs 6:16-17 G** HATES violence, especially when it harms the innocent. Psalm 11:5 G** hates a love of violence. James 4:1-2 War is caused by human sin, pride, and selfishness. Not G**. G** wants peace: Romans 12:18, 1 Corinthians 14:33, Zechariah 9:10.

@Gojos bottom half This is a lot to read. However, it proves that G** doesn't approve of or support any of the things you listed. Ecclesiastes 7:29 in the NIV: "This only have I found: G** created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes." Slavery, war, abuse... These things are NOT G**'s doing. They are human choices rooted in pride, power, greed, and sin. G** NEVER approves of these things, but he doesn't override our choices because real love requires real freedom.  G** hates injustice. More than we do. He hears the cries and prayers of the slaves in Egypt, and he sets them free. (Exodus 3:7) He says harming children is so serious that death would be better for the abuser (Matthew 18:6). He punishes nations that commit violence and oppression. Jesus, G** in flesh, suffered injustice and death to heal this broken world. He burns with Justice but works patiently, behind the scenes.

There is more, but that's going to be a bunch on more reading. Please don't blame G** for humans being cruel.:(

He doesn't like it either. 

@Gojos bottom half   that was brutally honest and 100% true :p
