atheists believe that god should stop the large-scale injustice on earth; if he does'nt, then he does not exist.
jws believe that god will intervene sometime in the last days!.
interestingly, both throw themselves on their own expectation of soemthing god should or will do, yet in fact something god does not have to do.
Bugbear,
If you do not know WHAT to eat, WHEN to eat and HOW to eat, you will experience something like a natural calamity in your physical body. Similarly, if people are careless about exploitation of the nature, natural calamities will result. You may Please check these links:

bohm
What you said FIRST applies to humans.
When millions starve, why the Governments spend trillions of money on destructive purposes, why some eat in star hotels, why some dwell in palaces, why some waste money on smoking, alcohol …….. list goes endless. If only man could avoid wastages, everyone on earth can reside in palaces. If human changes their attitude, within days all the problems of earth could be solved.

Cofty,
You will find many links where atheists proudly proclaiming there is no God because He does'nt stop suffering on earth.
Here are some:

all my family members and friends (that include some elders) advised me to divorce my wife whose only joy was to pick up fight with me for everything i do, except my grand-mother who said: when you married her, you looked for only her good pointher regular pioneering despite having an opposing family.
for being good, you will ultimately reap something far better through her.
stick on to her.
Thank you for your explanation!
However, simple explanation is this:
If REAL peace is the result, then it is from God (Romans 16:20; 2Cor 1:3). His peace is too powerful for any puny human to shake! Interestingly, it comes free of cost--there is no organization, no mediators. You go into silence and connect to Him, thus access any of His qualities!
But silence is not that simple. It requires a change of value in you. When you REALLY renounce everything materialistic (things pertaing to your Body, Assets, and Relatives), then only sleep embraces you in the night when you are on your bed.
Similarly, when you put on a secondary/low profile everything materialistic (things pertaining to your Body, Assets, and Relatives), then only mind will go into silence warding off all thoughts pertaining to them. In that stage, you are actually "poor in spirit," and you are in "Kingdom of Heaven." (Mathew 5:3), and you can access any of God's qualities to the extent you want to imbibe!

JWs believe that God will intervene sometime in the “last days”!
Interestingly, both throw themselves on their own expectation of soemthing God should or will do, yet in fact something God DOES NOT HAVE TO DO. Victimizer is actually the creation of the victim. For example, take the samples from history. In India the religiously and politically influential/higher caste put the lower caste into slavery, and consequently Great Britain put India into slavery. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor that invited bombing of that country….. This is true in the micro level also—individuals. When an individual behaves egoistically, he sows the seed for resistance from others.
People fall in love with EGO (Edging God Out) which provides a fertile ground for conflict in micro and macro (nationalism) level, hence for the greatest ARMS industry which will ultimately destroy the earth. AFTER man destroys the earth, then only God’s role of RECREATION begins.
This is what history is: Creation-Destruction-Recreation
This is what law of nature is: Generation-Decay-Regeneration
Man CHOOSES the action—Nature DETERMINES the effect!
(This means, after the recreation if man chooses to nourish and cherish the creation, it will continue,;and if he chooses to destroy it, he will destroy it! God will come ONLY to RECREATE AFTER man destroys it, not in between)

Coft,
Jesus is right when he said: "If you knock, it will be opened to you."
Conversely, if you do not knock, you will remain as you are--you may have limited enjoyment, but never tasting the life as it is! God respects everyone's choice.

You are REALLY a MAN! Hence humane!
Your one question melted all my pain of 18 years. I hated my life--even decided I will not go for any treatment if I fall sick. It was all because of my grand-mother I pulled on!
Now regarding your question--that is the power of mind, the exact representation of God's very being. Mind is also a creator, if it decides I am going to forget everything, everything is forgotten. If it resolves to think NOTHING HAS HAPPENED BETWEEN MY WIFE AND ME, then it is as though nothing has happened. SWEETNESS returns!
Anyhow, I am married for 18 years, but REALLY married for 4 months--you got me!

You are my brother-in-law!

All my family members and friends (that include some Elders) advised me to divorce my wife whose only joy was to pick up fight with me for everything I do, except my grand-mother who said: “When you married her, you looked for only her good point—her Regular Pioneering despite having an opposing family. For being good, you will ultimately reap something far better through her. Stick on to her.” I took this advice and stuck to this terribly sadistic woman for almost 18 years. When will I have my grand-mother’s words fulfilled?
Four months back, I met a former CO (Ex JW) who is now a motivational speaker to the corporate employees. He helped me with some meditation tips which were like a help to log on to God, and said: “Try this, and put God to the test with the greatest problem you are grappling with, and see how God brings in the REAL peace into your life. From my experience I understand what Jesus said in Mathew 6:6 (“when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door”) as going into our own INNER self and shutting the door so that no other thoughts come between you and your Father, and in this extremely PRIVATE setting, whatever your ask “Father will grant you.””
I wanted to try this as I have an 18-year old problem which had proved to be more and more obstinate to every possible solution I tried from WT Library to worldly self-help books! I did some rehearsal for a week removing the rust of restlessness from my mind, and went into an actual meditation expecting to establish a direct link with God. I went into my original nature of silence, got submerged in that silence. The link happened for the first time in my life—really a too delightful experience, as if drinking honey after a long starvation. I presented my case in my conversation. I heard the response: “It is DONE, my child; go in PEACE.”
Result is really unbelievable even to me—then how difficult it will be, I know, for you to believe the change in my wife. She is my honey now—literally. My grand-mother was right! My wife became an instrument for me to “taste God and see how good He is.” (Psalm 34:8) I now better understand what Jesus said: “No one is good—except God alone.” (Mark 10:18)
