You can't force someone to love you but you can convince them to via proof.

This isn't about God answering our prayers or not. God has already answered our prayer - take a look at Nigeria, we have everything to we need to deal with the present situation.

This is about us; our mindset, our actions towards one another, our will to want to do something with our hands. This is about us individually, from the oga at the top to the junk packer.

The case of Nigeria is like when we've depended on God so much that even when we're pressed we still wait for God to tell us whether to go the toilet or not. And we're going to be that way, and it's either we decide to use the toilet or poo on ourselves because God won't come down and carry us to the toilet when he has already positioned everything in body telling us what to do.

you are wrong , I believe you are christian before you abandon the faith, I tell you, you don't even know the purpose of God creating you. World peace is not among the agenda of God, we are only advice to make peace with God, the bible say friendship with the world is enmity with God. As long as God allow you to make a choice, will you love your enemy ? NO, you can't , but the bible say Love your enemy. A God of love wants the whole world to operate in love, but could you force someone to love you? Their is suffering because we chose to go against God will.
World peace is not the agenda of God.

Then what business does any person have worshipping such a god? A God who doesn't care of the earth on which billions of people live goes to ruins. Peace is not on his agenda but lining pastor's pocketbook with lambourgini money is? & helping little Sally pass her exam is? and all the other arbitrary strokes of good fortune that Christians attribute to Gods doing? He has time for petty favors like these but world peace is not as important? Mschewww. Very useless god.

As long as God allow you to make a choice, will you love your enemy ? NO, you can't
BS. You ever heard of Jainism? Buddhism? It goes according to their teachings to bring harm to no living thing and cultivate the utmost compassion. And the monks among these disciplines actually practice what they preach. Unlike Christians. And they don't worship any Yahweh. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of secular humanists with kind and charitable hearts. And the governments in secular countries like Netherlads and Japan aren't embezzling money and doing shady things at the expense of their citizens like Nigerian politicians are. Yet we are way more invested in this Yahweh character than they are. Why can they be more good than us, with less religion than us?

A God of love wants the whole world to operate in love, but could you force someone to love you?
What part of commanding slavery and genocide sounds to you like "wanting the world to operate on love"? And he essentially IS forcing humans to love him since the ONLY alternative to loving him is perishing in hellfire for eternity! You don't tell the person you are in a relationship with, "You don't have to love me, but if you don't you'll be punished for longer than you can ever imagine for refusing to accept me"! That is abuse.
