god is all mighty so why doesn't he change bad people,criminals,murderers, pedophiles,gays,lesbians,transsexuals,seiners ...into normal people that would fit into society? He created them in the first place and he made some mistakes but if he is almighty why doesn't he/she fix them?

God does. There are millions of people who have had their lives transformed by God. I know many, many people who have turned their lives around. God changes lives all the time. God saved mine.

They give themselves aids when they have unprotected sex.
God lets bad things happen to people sometimes. But God turns bad things into God things. Also, H'Shem uses bad things to chasten people.
Death is not as serious for God because H'Shem realizes that people will be with H'Shem soon anyways.
H'Shem doesn't take his morality from political propaganda either. God considers El'ohim to be sufficient to judge people without rely on political pseudo-philsophy.
In academic philosophy, the problem of evil has basically been resolved. Have you ever read Alvin Plantinga's free will defense? People commonly accept the issue to be resolved, for the most part.

There are over 2 million children in Africa who have AIDS. They got it by having unprotected sex? Do we point out how Christians have dramatically exacerbated the epidemic in Africa by preaching against using protection?

The only way to examine the Epicurean paradox and come away thinking that God is good involves either being in titanic denial or outright suffering from brain damage.
People accept various resolutions only because it's the only way to keep on telling yourself that your religion isn't a giant fraud.

God doesn't tell anyone it is ok to have unprotected sex, but the secular modern culture accept promiscuity and pornography as the main selling point on most of its products. It foists responsibility for its pornographic capitalism on the church, who fails to conform to its understanding of sexuality as blind animalistic hedonism.
What fools those Christians are. Why can't they just accept the fact that their daughters are simply meat to be grinded?

God (apparently) tells people that it is bad to have protected sex. Or sex of any kind which does not directly lead to reproduction. I guess Satan is responsible for making sex so much fun that we'd want to do it for its own sake.

That is an excellent question, as that is precisely what the Bible instructs regarding women.
