Christians can't satisfactorily answer this, so they'll probably just dismiss your question.  Traffic accidents can be reasonably attributed to free will, but not earthquakes.

In an empty bed with a restless head,
These thoughts are killing me so...

1. No part of Christianity ever claims that God is with "good people."

2. Even if it did, having God with you is no guarantee of physical safety, only of spiritual safety.

Why did God knowingly design an environment that causes his subjects to suffer?

The general belief was that the environment was never meant to cause suffering; however, when sin entered the world (by whichever means), the world became imperfect and suffering came along with it.

Exactly. Which means that with religion, no one REALLY knows the answer and no one ever will.

God being all-powerful could of course easily prevent sin from getting into the world. By the way, where was sin before it entered the world? Did it come out of nothing, or was there a place it occupied prior to it entering the world?
