If God is so just and great why doesn'T he make the people in Africa healthy? Why does he let them die? Why good people suffer while some bad people have all they want? If you say in the end, those people will go to heaven, it doesn't supress the fact that they suffered during their lives and that could have been avoided.

Well if good things always happened to good people then everyone would be good, just to be good.  You really wouldn't have freewill because everybody would do the same thing because their is no getting one over on god, so you have to be good. 

In what way would that be bad? It would be better than scare people with hell. People that belive in God/Heaven/Hell are scared of hell so that's why they're good. Why wouldn't people who are good don't get a benefit from it?

I imagine it's the same reason god wouldn't spontaniously appear infront of everbody and just says "I am god, i'm all powerful, what up?"

Why doesn't he do that? Is he affraid? Is he testing us? It's not very honest from him. Isn't a God supposed to be all divine, honest, rightous and good? I don't feel like that's what he is if he exists. If he proved he exists, people would belive him and be good. Is God wishing people to go to hell or something? Then why hide himself? Why not show people the truth so that they don't go to hell?

I have one simple answer to all of this, it's because he doesn't exists or existed only to create this world then left it in our hands.
