What Kind of God?

"What kind of god would allow an innocent man to do life in prison?"

A man is in prison, falsely convicted of murder.
He is a good man and has always tried to do what is right.
He prays for God to somehow set him free from prison.
There is a great earthquake, the walls of the prison fall down, he is free.
The prison was in Port Prince Haiti

"What kind of god would allow such suffering from an earthquake?"

  1. I think it's amazing how God always gets blamed for all the bad things that happen to people (the majority of which, according to 2 Corinthians 4:4, are the effects of their own believing) but never any credit for the good ones. It's also a mystery to me how so many can be convinced there is a God, but not that there is a Devil and a devil-spirit realm that largely controls the systems of this world (Luke 4:6).
    God has little to do with events going on in Haiti, as it is ruled by a kleptocracy that keeps its people poor and subservient to them, and probably knows very well the man is innocent.
