Why does God allow suffering?

Has anyone ever asked this question? Many Churches say that everything is part of God's plan. If this is true, then God has a lot of blood on his hands. He has cause 2 world wars and many wars since them. I can't believe that a God of LOVE would really be responsible for this. 

What are your thoughts on this? 

well, I believe that its actually people who r responsible for this all, so the blood is on our hands. just my opinion.

 in my tought …God has nothing to do with the fate. god with his Infinite love, respect our freedom .. respected infinite, and stands remote
Leaving the human act as they like

God is not  evil ..only God respects our freedom, our choices respected … respected even do not accept him
We are well realize  that there is no god who injects himself forced to human life

that is not suffring man God loves his people … it is a test for every one . i belive of fath but i also belive  that men have a mind to think of … God is the crteater may be he can control every thing but how makes people bad and good of course he give us a little freedom in our acts … it is all kind of test .. how mush we can belive in him and can we be good or bad

The God Above respect our choices. If in this big world has so much problems, this is our fault. We have our will, we can do all things we want, God respect it, but the result for our choice its visible. The humanity its responsible for all suffering. What the politcs around the globe are doing to solved all earthly problems??? Do u think God made that 2 wars? No, man made it!!!

The Creator create the human being and show them the right and the bad ways through His messengers like MOSES, JESUS and finally MOHAMMED, and let them FREELY to act TILL the judgement day , HE will judge among them who was good reward good and vice versa…..
this worllife is a real test dear….it is not created vainly

Maybe it's just that without bad things no one would know what good is.. Bad things are here for perspective.

(I don't believe in god.)

I agree with ::ELeNA::.

God created us
also plan all thing before we birth He will see how  everyone will do for that

and HE will ask us about every thing that we did it

HE test  us

This is a nice topic, even in my religion.

In Islam, as far as i know, a debate about the fate is very interesting and never ending. You just can not choice one argument just because all of the argument have an important base.

Some argue that peoples have a freedom that with this gift they can do anything without interfere of God,  so every a suffering that happened was caused by themselves.

Another argue that every a happening in this world are interferring by God, so the people just act like an actor and just doing their script.

This a verse that i thing have a relation with a fate from opposite direction:

 Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned. That (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil). (30:41)

No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree before We bring it into existence: that is truly easy for Allah:  (57:22)
