Many people want to blame God for the ills of the world. But remember it was Adam & Eve, not Him that chose disobedience. He gave them everything they needed for a happy life on this earth with one requirement, no to eat of the tree of Good & Bad. It was a simple command that they failed to follow because Eve let temptation (Satan) get the best of her and enticed Adam to follow. They purposely chose to disobey and we thier offspring are living the consequences of their actions. But God also made a way out for us from the very beginning. Read Genesis 3:15. He prophecied that his seed (Jesus) would crush the seed of the serpent (Satan). Over the many years that have followed God has allowed man to see that he does not have the ability to rule himself. Even if man could accomplish peace & security, we would still be slaves to death. God, through his Kingdom has promised to do away with all of the ills (i.e. sickness, death, war, poverty, hatred, etc.) of the world in due time. Give Him a chance.
