I dunno if someone answered this already as i was to lazy to read all the posts (I am not defending the religion, merely giving information). I talked to a Theologist who answers the questions of religious skeptics and I guess God doesn't want or allow bad thigns to happen but rather he MUST let them happen because according to the bible when god created us he gave us the option of free will. If he really loved us, which the bible proclaims he did, then he had to give us the ability to act for ourselves. With as much good as he gave us to be good people even great people, he also gave us just as much potential to be bad/evil. It's up to you to do what you want with it I suppose. Therefor God does not support violent action, but rather is powerless to stop it because it interferes with our free will and thus makes God appear not to genuinly love us.

Sounds to me like God is afraid of being called a hypocrite so he lets us kill eachother in his name as acts of religious violence...
