Answer me this if you don't mind.?
Okay, if God truly exist, how come most can't prove it? I mean man came up with myths like vampires, werewolves, etc. What if they also came up with God? I know this may come with rude comments or such, but I don't care. I lost my faith. Too many bad **** in this world, and why can't he stop it. If he was real, why let so many of his children go to hell to be tortured by this so called satan? Why not crush satan anyway when he first rebelled against God? Why let it go on for years.

First, The Bible doesn't teach people will burn forever in Hell
Examples: What does the Bible say the penalty for sin is?
The Bible says at Romans 6:23: “The wages sin pays is death.”
After one’s death, is he still subject to further punishment for his sins?
The Bible says at Romans 6:7: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”
Second Yes God could stop bad things from happening today, He has a good reason for waiting.
Sometimes parents who truly love their children permitted them to undergo a painful operation to correct some problem. The permission of temporary suffering has often made it possible for children to enjoy better health later on in life. God has a very good reason for allowing things to go the way they have. The answer is in the Bible. Want to learn more?

Backwards answer, Why not crush? Sin or iniquity, tainted creation, Satan who had dominion over all of the angels, in his iniquity warped the whole of creation, and to remove that disease, would have requiredan either or response from God, to crush sin all of creation would have to be judged, and found unrighteous, which results in the second death of revelation 21, for the whole universe.
The opportunity for unrighteousness,existed before Adam did, or the need of a law in the Garden, "don't eat" would have been unrighteous of God. A kind of solitary, confinement suicide watch, with a rope in the corner of the cell. We all see right away, that jailer is immoral, therefor Satan's fall had to have occurred before Adams creation, giving a very clear plan for, and path to a righteous savior Jesus Christ.
So, we conclude that man was created as the "anti virus" so to speak, for the viral effect of sin on creation, remember Angels in heaven sinned, God has a heaven and earth sin problem, the very reason that Jesus had to be over all and in all, he is the "Anti virus" that overcomes the sin and death that is in the world.
Second from the bottom, Satan torture, there is no such thing, you join Satan in his punishment, the second death, if you do not believe God, and accept Christ. Rev 21:7-10
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
He is going to be completely unable to do anything to you there, only if you persist in unbelief, the first question in the Bible; is did God really say? The same one you have an answer to here, If God truly exists? That would scare me, to be asking the same question, that the Bible begins with, and that brings sin into the world, I hope you think hard about it, the one that put the thought in you mind did.
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Why can't he stop "bad **** in this world?" Are you, and all the ones you love, ready for him to stop the bad ****? Because when he does, those who do not believe him, he has to judge, I don't think I am ready for that to happen to you, I can't wish it on anybody.
We came up with vampires... what if he "God" is just made up? Is not it interesting, that vampires because of the blood of another, "live forever"? werewolves have more than natural abilities? We are programmed to think of godly attributes, and when we don't assign those attributes to "God" we invent other things, Idols, with those attributes, vampires overcome death "by the blood" zombies are resurrected, do you see the theme of even our secular minds? Death, blood, life and resurrection the most popular ideas of today.... I wonder why? That is what we are made to think about, and you know the one who offers those things, to them that believe, proof of God?

If you are actually looking for the true answer...God does exist.
Yes man has many myths, fables, and winds of doctrine that they make up and aren't true.
Why no proof?
We are here to be tested. This is our 2nd estate. You can have PERSONAL proof from God to you if you want it...ask and ye shall receive. (See Matt. 7:7 and James 1:5). Then you can know for yourself (like I know) that God is real.
Why can't he stop bad stuff?
He can. Again we are here to be tested.
Abraham 3
24 And there stood one among them that was like unto God, and he said unto those who were with him: We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell;
25 And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them;
26 And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever.

Why let his children suffer?
Because God is not a slave driver. He gives REAL freedom. God warns us over and over what the consequences of our bad actions will be...(ever heard of the word REPENT before??)...then when people ignore God's warnings...the natural consequences of foolish decisions happen.
If a person chooses to be unhappy God will let them be unhappy. God has given us actual freedom to choose.
Why not crush Satan immediately?
Satan is being used...he is simply a tool, he will be crushed and defeated utterly and totally when the time is right. Even during the Millennium Satan will be bound for a thousand years. The reason he is allowed to do what he does is that in order for men to choose to do good...actual REAL evil must exist as well.
D&C 29:
39 And it must needs be that the devil should tempt the children of men, or they could not be agents unto themselves; for if they never should have bitter they could not know the sweet—
http://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/29.3...
As soon as all people have experienced good and evil and made ALL their decisions I suppose there will be no more need for Satan at that point.
but NOW is the time to act, to make wise decisions...
Alma 34:31
31 Yea, I would that ye would come forth and harden not your hearts any longer; for behold, now is the time and the day of your salvation; and therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, immediately shall the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you.

God talks about, in the book of Revelation, how when he comes back for the rapture, in the few years before that the world will be in termoil with war and crime and fighting and all that crap. and another thing, God doesn't "let" people go to Hell, they send themselves there. God is holy and cannot have sin in his presence. God will destroy Satan in the end, chain him up and throw him into hell. satan will suffer his eternal punishment just like the rest of the sinners who did not call on Jesus to save them.
i would like you to get saved. i love you, God loves you. i want to meet you in heaven.
i want to see you saved my friend.

hell is not satans kingdom and he does not rule there. he doesn't live there. he lives here on earth and hell is where he will be sent to in the end of days. he and all who follow him and all who refuse to follow god. it is a place meant to torture satan and his followers. they will all be cast into hell and then hell itself will be cast into the lake of fire. just to clear that up.
as for vampires. how do you really know they are a myth? a lifeless person who feeds off of the very life source of those who are alive. without god all are spiritually dead and for many pagans in history drinking blood of the living was a common practice. see when you step out of the relm of specifics and take the general discription of the vampire it is very real and has existed in many cultures in history. so if I demostrated the reality of vampires to you, would you really hear me if I demonstrated the reality of god to you? if so. email me.

I was like this a couple months ago, and my boyfriend looked to me very seriously and said "There is a God. There is no hell. When all people die, they are presented infront of him and realize their follies." I trust this man completely, and I know you don't have any reason too. However, no matter what path you choose, if there is a God, you won't end up in "hell."

Actually, I do mind.
