You need to speak to a knowledgeable rabbi, priest, imam, or any clergyman. This is one of the first questions a child will ask as soon as he understands the concept of God. God is perfect. Perfect does not mean He gives you all that you desire and protects people from all harm.  This life is a test to see who stays on Gods path and who can be led astray by Satan. Satan will indeed lead a great multitude astray. They will create mischief and spread evil on earth. Some will be harmed by those led astray. Natural disasters will occur for different reasons. Some think God destroys cities because of people's bad behavior ( Sodom and Gomorrah). Some think the hurricane impact on New Orleans may have been due to the corruption of lawmakers and hedonistic lifestyle of people. There is no proof as God is not here to clarify why some cities suffer from natural disasters. But we know God disapproves of certain acts.

The notion that God might be a kindly white bearded man in a long, white overflowing robe who can never get upset at anyone is a very influenced by the Christian view of Jesus. That is not the God of other religions. In my religion, life is a test so every human has a degree of free will to choose good or evil. Harm may result to your fellow man as a result of evil choices. In the end, we are all judged according to our choices.[/quote]

I doubt you could find very many "knowledgeable" clergy persons to talk seriously about Satan - unless they were fundamentalists who believe the bible is the inerrant word of God.  Many believers reject that idea these days, though they still hold on to the idea of a benevolent god (despite all the evidence to the contrary) and  eternal life in heaven.  [/quote]
