All the answers your getting are sad. Most of the comments your receiving come from people who don't know God, they believe he is uncaring and hardhearted. they believed that if god cared they would not be having such problems. Also a lot of religious teachers lead people to believe that God is hardhearted by saying that "it's Gods will" when tragedy strikes. This is what God tells us in his word the bible
JAMES 1:13-When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; so God is NEVER the source of wickedness.
For example, think about a wise and loving father
with a grown son who is still living at home with his
parents. When the son becomes rebellious and decides
to leave home, his father does not stop him. The son
pursues a bad way of life and gets into trouble. Is the father
the cause of his son’s problems? No.
Similarly, God has not stopped humans when they have
chosen to pursue a bad course, but he is not the cause of
the problems that have resulted.
Surely, then, it would be unfair to blame God for all the troubles of mankind.
God is holy. (Isaiah 6:3) This means
that he is pure and clean. That is more than
we can say for humans, who sometimes become corrupt.
Even the most honest human in authority often does
not have the power to undo the damage that bad people
do. But God is all-powerful. He can and will undo all
the effects that wickedness has had on mankind.
HOW DOES GOD FEEL ABOUT INJUSTICES WE FACE? Well, the Bible
teaches that God is “a lover of justice.” (Psalm 37:28) So
he cares deeply about what is right and what is wrong.
He hates all kinds of injustice. The Bible says that God
“felt hurt at his heart” when badness filled the world in
times past. (Genesis 6:5, 6) God hates to see people suffer. “He
cares for you,” the Bible says.—1 Peter 5:7. How can we be sure that God hates to see suffering?
Here is further proof. The Bible teaches that man was
made in the image of God. (Genesis 1:26) We thus have
good qualities because God has good qualities. For example,
does it bother you to see innocent people suffer? If
you care about such injustices, be assured that God feels
even more strongly about them.One of the best things about humans is our ability
to love. That also reflects God. The Bible teaches that
“God is love.” (1 John 4:8) We love because God loves.
I am not impressed, forgiveness would be to just forgive. What he does is give us a was to scapegoat everything on to jesus. His son whom he KNOWS didn't do it, and yet he had to pay for it... or well for 3 days then it was all good. Not impressed.
Not that i have a need to be impressed, since i believe humans made up god.
The fact that, according to the bible, he has NO such ability whatsoever.
Thus, it is a Very Good Thing that he does not exist.
“Christianity - The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... and because he loves you so much he's coming back to destroy the world any day now...”
Praise the Lord, my soul;all my inmost being, praise his holy name.2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.6 The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.7 He made known his ways to Moses,his deeds to the people of Israel:8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,nor will he harbor his anger forever;10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;12 as far as the east is from the west,so far has he removed our transgressions from us.13 As a father has compassion on his children,so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

That he'll apparently forgive rape, murder, and every crime imaginable as long as you worship his son.

God bless you
If I could stop a person from raping a child, I would. That's the difference between me and your god.
That he created a special place in hell for all those people he can't forgive.
His willingness to let innocent children die
That he loves us even if we dont give love back in return.
