How do you Justify a Good God when Evil like this happens?

[the_bob_delusion]

Let's assume God does exist, people tend to think this God is good. Why? Isn't it just as likely if there's a God, it is more likely to be an Evil God?

Where was the Good God when the Boston bombing was happening? This just proves an Evil God exists, doesn't it?

no, it just proves he has a plan. he needed those people more than we did. lol

god or no god, there is still free will.

You know you can't blame God for the choices people make.  It would make it easier to blame something though wouldn't it? I think I'd rather blame the person who made the choice to commit such an evil crime.  I really hope they catch whoever it is quickly..

G-d is good. The issue is that He gave people free choice, and some people choose badly

are you saying because he needed those people, it implies he infact is responsible for the killing of these innocent lives and the bomber was merely fulfilling God's plan?

This is a philosophical debate whether we actually have free will or not. 

If God is in fact an omnipotent, omnisient God, we cannot logically have free will.

So God does not intervene in human matters coz' it'll violate our free choice?? So why pray if God is useless?

i make bad decisions at will. i have no idea if there is a god involved in the process or not.
