Yes, God didn't cause children to starve under the sun in Africa, get sold into sex tourism, or be raised alone in a foster home. Man did all these things to themselves. If you just look back throughout history it is apparent that God was not the reason children are starving in Africa. Through European imperialism large portions of Africa have struggled to recover.

PEOPLE control what they do, God is with you spiritually and in faith. God gave you free will to make your own decisions & choose your path in life. People always blame God when things go wrong, but never praise him when they have blessings in life. Take responsibility for your own actions. We're human beings, not robots.
Humans arguing about God is useless. No one is gonna have any kind of answer. The only thing we can do is individually choose whether or not we personally believe, and respect others for the same.
And bad things happen because people let it. We could very well put an end to many social problems. But most people concern themselves with other things, like materialism and capitalism. There would need to be one hell of a social movement to end things like poverty and hunger. Don't blame God, blame your fellow man.
How can you blame God for everything that happened on this planet full of sin. People chose to be this way, and God never intended us to behave like we do today. It is beyond sad to see innocent people die, but God's role is to guide those people to a better place when they pass away.
One day I asked grandfather ¿where is God? My grandfather was sad and gave me no answer. My grandfather died in the field without prayers or confessions, and was buried with the Indian bamboo flute and drum. When I asked ¿father where is God? my father got serious and gave me no answer. My father died in the mine without doctor or confession, sweating the miner’s blood for the boss’s gold, and was buried with the Indian bamboo flute and drum… there's one thing more important than God: That is nobody shall spit blood to let someone other live better. I sing when I am free and when I’m in prison I feel the voices of the people who sing better than me… God watches over the poor, maybe yes or maybe not but he surely lunches at the table of the boss.

I believe in God, but I won't argue against anyone who doesn't or try to prove that he exists. People arguing about religion is one of the things that really pisses me off.
If there is a God I don't like him. He's a dictator why does he get to make the rules and give so little to our worship. We deserve a better God than him.

You're not making sense. If he was a dictator, wouldn't this be a wonderful Earth without sin?
I'm gonna put it like this.
If YOU were God, would you punish me at all for not believing in you? If not, then you are ethically superior to God. Is it possible that YOU could have better ethics and be more forgiving and understanding than a god? No. So what does that say?
People think God is this evil being, ready to throw you in a pit of fire for not living life to his standards and this is the reason I believe most people stray away from the idea of him.Fire in the bible was made to purify, not punish. People have interpreted the meaning so wrongly.
