from a deistic point of view, god allows it because he simply created the world, and even if he somehow moderates the world ...g-d (had to say it once) will never intervene becasue that's never god's intention.
from the view everyone else is coming from, hmm i'll throw out a bunch of cliches. Everything happens for a reason, god knows what he/she's doing. Penance comes in many forms, that of which we won't always know at the time of its occurence as well. Sometimes we realize the purpose afterwards. Or perhaps it's just simple lesson teaching god is doing. But i agree in the fact that people aren't controlled by god, humyns do evil...not god. That does kind of contradict what i was saying earlier...hmmm peoples free will isn't controlled, but their actions are perhaps? i haven't thought of it clearly yet, so thats not that great. I'll get back here and elaborate later.
