God isn't powerful at all if he/she allows murder, abuse, molestations, neglect, etc.

Humans aren't as special as some of us like to think we are.
Further, mankind made up god, not the other way around.
Mankind also likes to make up aliens/demons visiting them in their sleep.
It's a psychological phenomenon, some, for whatever reason, really want to be true.

With all due respect, that analogy makes absolutely no sense at all. You have no knowledge of what your child will end up becoming, but since ''God '' created you, and he knew what you were going to do before you were born, the free will argument is ridiculous.

It all has to do with free will. People suffer every day. People do evil things every day. If it wasn't this way and God controlled our every action and thought to be only good we would be nothing more than robots. If you have a child and that child grows up and then murders 100 people who is at fault? You for creating the child? No, the child has free will. God gave us free will.
A better question to ask is why does god allow pedofiles to be his preists, nuns and popes.
