I've got a question - mainly applies to Christians I think but I'm not sure. And it's where religion all falls apart for me.

If God is all knowing - he knows every bad thing happening in the world.
If he's all powerful - he can do anything in the world he wants to.
If he's all good and loving - he must want to stop everything bad.

So, and leave out free-will just for a moment, because even if he did give people free will - if these statements are correct then he knows about everything bad, and he has the power to stop everything bad, and there is no part of him that doesn't want to stop everything bad. so....... why??

i think if people didn't always have a prepared answer for questions like this (free will! free will!) I would find religion a lot easier to believe in/understand.
