If God exists, why does he let many suffer so?

Because people have free will, and are allowed to make choices, whether they are good or poor choices.  People are also a product of their environment.

Yeah, because sometimes it's a choice to live in a earthquake/tsunami zone or get cancer. Free will is great like that.

What point are you trying to make?  That nature is a peaceful force and should never harm any animals, humans included?

Suffering isn't merely because of natural disasters, it's also because of what people do to themselves, whether it be directly (obesity,  drug abuse, etc) or indirectly (electing politicians that destroy a society incrementally over a long period of time, that leads to severe conditions that ultimately lead to disasters beyond our control).

I wasn't sure with your original post if you were being serious or not.  I see that you are.  Most people who believe in God do not believe that he should stop all suffering of all humans.  Free will to live our lives as we choose is mankinds' greatest gift.  Otherwise, what point is there to life in the first place?



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
