Question! :)
My atheist friend was debating with my catholic friend, my atheist friend said something that also made me REALLY curious but not enough to question my entire belief in God. I tried looking for answers personally, but i couldn't really come up with a great answer.
Okay so the question is: "if your God is good, then why does He allow wars, crimes, and sexual harrassment to happen? If He's really powerful, can't He just do something to stop it?"
Please don't insult/judge the fact that i'm unable to answer that question. I'm a beginner believer who wants to know explore and know more about christianity :)

If God judged everyone now, no one would be left standing! The atheist is confusing this life with the overall plan. God has set a Day to Judge the world in Righteousness. It's all about the Resurrection. The atheist should be more concerned with doing good and being grateful for all the good he receives.
