[Why does God let us suffer so much? Every five seconds a child dies of hunger, why?]
there are multiple reasons but the main one is that God is trying to get your attention that he is real. if god were to solve all our problems right now we would only think that those events were natural and never give him the credit for it. god is willing to stop it if people would just ask.
[Do you admit that you deny evolution because of your religious bias?]
NOPE. I came to Christianity through evaluating the evidence. im not afraid to face the facts I just find the facts for God more logical than evolution

"...god is willing to stop it if people would just ask."
Oh, so that's the problem! None of those starving children and/or their parents ever thought to pray. If only they had, everything would be hunky-dory.
"if god were to solve all our problems right now we would only think that those events were natural and never give him the credit for it."
Actually, that would be a bona fide , indisputable miracle and everyone would be clamouring to claim it for their god. Except atheists like me, obviously, who would be stood around looking rather disconcerted and trying not to attract too much taunting.
So for your God's sake, get him to do it! I can take a bit of mockery if it'll solve the problems of the world. Small price, etc.
"Mmmm, Oh me! Why wont anybody pay attention to me?.. I know! I'll let a load of children starve to death, that'll get me noticed!"
Do these idiots even read what they write?
Yeah, and if it was ME who murdered babies in order to make people pay attention to me, I'd be in jail by now. But no, if it's your 'god' that does it, that's all fine and dandy.
[Every five seconds a child dies of hunger, why?]
Because retarded Christian charities only hand out food and blankets, not condoms and birth control shots.
god is willing to stop it if people would just ask.
So the christians just haven't ever asked god to knock the shit off. Too busy praying for petty favors, and eternal torment for anybody they don't like...
"God is trying to get your attention that he is real."
By acting like He isn't there?
Trust me, that's never going to work.
And killing people to get attention is called being a douche.

God can't be stupid enough to think that would work. Why would people starving to death cause someone to think God is real? In most cases, it has the opposite effect, especially if they've prayed to be spared. The 1755 earthquake in Lisbon probably created more atheists than any event in history. It was where theodicy, the question of why an omnipotent, omniscient and loving God allows bad things to happen to people, gained recognition.
If He wants everyone to know He's real, why doesn't He just appear on the Six O'Clock News? Or in a burning bush?
Food miraculously appearing is a miracle, and I seem to remember something in the bible about Jesus doing just that. I don't think anybody would put it down to good luck.
There's no way that evaluating evidence could push you towards Christianity- unless the only 'evidence' you evaluated was the bible...
...never mind. I think I just worked out your reasoning.

Eat the stupid, that will solve world hunger. As for evolution, those that dont believe in evolution, dont evolve.
1. So God is basically out there breaking legs so that people believe in him?
2. So you are praying to him
Hm... This explains why these morons vote republican! Come vote for us! We will really make your life miserable! Just like God!
You will believe in God if... a bunch of babies die of natural causes all over the world, every few seconds.
You won't believe in God if... miraculously every single problem and danger to all of mankind is removed, instantly. Obviously by natural causes since natural phenomenon could account for tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, fires, suicides, old age, murder, cancer and STD's of all kinds just up and disappearing.
Riiiiiiiiight....
Maybe it's because us Americans give more food to our pet dog per day than they see in a month?
God is omnipotent, omniscient and perfect, and the only way He can think of to get my attention is to starve babies?
You have a weak concept of God.
Quite an argument you got there. "God does nothing, therefore he exists."
Your god sounds like a first class, grad-A douchbag for letting infants starve to death, and I want nothing to do with him/her/it.
Don't understand the science behind evolution, eh? Cannot even follow the logical results of an organism better suited to survive and reproduce? C'mon, that last argument doesn't even require you to know any biology at all, but still you are blind? Cannot name a single objective "fact" that proves god?
Well, we cannot do much for you as long as you've decided to stay stupid. I expect you might be trainable to pump gas for a living, but just barely.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
