it's not god who allows suffering. its mankind who allows it. god gave man free will and a few simple rules to follow. adam and eve were living in a paradise everything they could ever need was right there. according to some theologians in the garden of eden there was no sickness or pain. no growing old and no death. but like a kid told to stay out of the cookies adam and eve ate the forbidden fruit. when god found out he was pissed and kicked them out of the garden. ever since then mankind has been granted the gift of knowledge and the curse of pain and death. man also retains the gift of free will. we choose to do good or evil to others and if god stepped in every time and stopped evil people from doing evil things then there would be no free will. its up to us to help those in need when we are able or when we must. however these days if someone sees a person in trouble they are more likely to pull out their phone and record whats happening so they can post "dat shit" online.
