Default God allows Satan?
I spoke to one of those street preachers about God. I asked the dude why he thought the tsunami happened, and he claimed Satan was responsible. I said unto him "Why would God allow Satan to perform this action, then?"
And he told me "God is allowing Satan to do His thing. God is testing Satan".

Why would God allow Satan to cause havoc such as tsunamis and earthquakes on this Earth? As a test? It doesn't really make sense.

God allows free will within creation. The tsunami happened because of natural cause and effect. One could say that God allows nature to do what nature does.

The only way that it makes sense to me that "Satan" caused the tsunami is if one thinks of God and Satan as two equally powerful forces, one constructive and the other destructive. But then, one no longer has only one god, but two.

God allows Satan?

Sure, why not? Doesn't God love all of his creation?

Sorry lilithu dear, I meant the question as to be what was the ideal behind this preacher dude's comment.

Pahness, if God loved us all He would not want to test us and allow us to ruin HIs world?

Depends on who you ask. Some would say that God only loves 144,000 of us.

Frubals, Cheese princess.

But it does not make sense that God would allow Satan to "have His way with the world".
What happened if Stan did something worse than the Tsunami? And God just lets that happen?
