Or maybe God has other plans that we cannot see. It is bold and self centered to presume you know the plans of God. He sometimes does things for other reasons. If we live by His laws, and follow his will, we are protected. However, if you presume to know why He does what he does, you may find you don't know what you are talking about. As it was stated after 9/11, where was God? God caused the traffic jam that make 3000 people late, He made alarm clocks silent and keys be locked in cars. There were more people who were not in that building than were killed. He did that. Yes, America is not the best place, but remember Lot could not find 10 good people. There are tons more than that here. None of this is America's fault. Are you saying that back in the 40's when we had life more to God's liking, there was no disasters? Explain Pearl Harbor....

Oh, c'mon, its not that complex.

God couldn't make it more clear. God has repeatedly told us through the prophets that if humans will serve Him and follow His commandments (at least keep a civilized level of decency and morality), He will bless and protect. If we do not serve Him and follow His ways, we will be punished.

Why is it so darn difficult to understand that?

He made alarm clocks silent
