So, like I thought, you don't believe in God.
That's because it sounds like just want to give me a "shut up" answer, rather than defend your position. I asked you a simple question "So, God is not in charge?"
Ok, I'll give it a try. God is in charge and not one thing happens that he does not already know it and has allowed it to happen. He is able to work all things according to his will and plan. Even the bad stuff, the evil stuff, the gross stuff and the horrible stuff.
Now, the $64k question is why does God allow the evil to exist in the world? No matter what answer I give it will not satisfy everyone but if we don't accept that some things we cannot grasp with our fallible, finite minds then it will end up sounding like a non-answer.
No knowing what God is and therefore not being able to believe in the unknown is not the same as saying there is no God.
If I asked you if you believed in your husband before you meant him, you'd say the same thing. That's not saying he isn't out there.

Okay, then he is in charge and bad things happen because that's his will and plan, so then he uses sin to get what he set out to get? This doesn't agree with notion that God hates sin.

Surely you'd agree that God could have created a sinless word, which is something one would expect from a God who really, really hates sin, but he didn't. In fact he is using evil for his ends. I think SFA and getoffmylawn are right: that paints an evil God.
