If these evil things help you see the devil's hand in our world it should strengthen your belief in God. I understand the why aspect of your statement though. My dad died when I was 7, asked why for a long time. Then I figured it out(I think). Everything happens for a reason. There is evil in the world and not enough God fearing folks. Sometimes a child needs a spanking to open their eyes. Sure seems like an eye opening time to me! Lots have found God, and many have come to be closer than before.
