God gave Man free will. Part of giving Man free will is that God allows man to do things that He doesn't want. For God to step in and prevent bad things from happening would be for Him to revoke his most precious gift. And such revocation would at least as great a loss to mankind as anything Man could do to himself.

to revoke his most precious gift Silly me, I though that His most precious gift was his son Jesus.
(BTW, have you ever read Job?)

I guess that raining fire and brimstone on the Sodomites head because they were "freely" sinning must have been an accident. God wouldn't do such a thing to interfer with someone's "free will". /sacasm
