John Piper speaking on evil and suffering.
To all the Christians out there watching this, I urge you not just to sit there, nod and say 'praise God'. Some of the comments on this video are correct, there are people starving out there and it is up to us, in the light of this love, to go out and show it to the world.
Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? (James 2:15-16)

Is'nt it just a bit Bizzare to be man made-up? I mean assume we had had the power to create something from nothing (the universe) I bet it would have been quite boring. The greatest most celebrated victories always come after the greatest trials hardships and sufferings.
I thought this video was a joke until it ended. Is that what christians believe? Wow, I want no part of it. This god of yours sounds like a schizophrenic megalomaniac. Create a world, screw it up, blame your creation, make them suffer, kill them all with a flood, make them suffer again, blame them again, send your boy, make him suffer (Okay now? Nope), more suffering, glory seeking, threats and ultimately, fear. Fear of eternal suffering. Emotional blackmail. No thanks. Man-made fiction, all.
I'm sorry you feel that way. God created the world perfect, it was not God that screwed up his world, it was us, we screwed it up. We chose our own path, a path away from God and the relationship he intended for us. Jesus Christ came into a world that was full of terror, pain, and suffering because he had to. This is the world that exists as a result of what we chose. Following Christ will bring suffering because Christ suffered. Following Christ is more satisfying than anything in this world.
"God doesn't seek relationship with Animals because they don't matter."
BS, the same is with humans, you don't seek a relationship with animals, because you do not care. That's right, your personal opinion is indistingushable from "god's will", that's why I call you deluded.
Actually thats my personal opinion because God says that we Have dominion over animals, so really I'm obeying God. And shouldn't our opinions look at least somewhat like Gods? He is holy, and merciful and all.
I think nature kills more than humans (see tsunami of 2004). But even if you are right, I granted that suffering caused by humans can be explained by free will. I am looking for an explanation of why God allows pointless suffering not caused by human beings. Please give me this. I am not concerned with weighing evils.

Humans kill each other more than nature kill us..
or we can agree that both are equally evil
