As for why he mustn't allow for these things to happen? Well, if he want's to be a believable guy, he's going to have to do much, much better than leave the scene of the crime for over 2000 years and leave everyone else to defend him and his nonsense. If he really is the god he's cracked up to be, then he will come forward and eradicate those things which are harmful. If he really is a loving god, then he will come back and back up all the "loving" claims made on his behalf. He will show his face and not try to use his many minions to do his work.
There is only one truth. We don't each have our own truth that's not true for others, only our opinions of the truth. It is true that he did leave the job to his followers to spread the gospel, with his help, by the power of the Holy Spirit working in us. You're setting requirements for who God should be based on your own idea of how he should be. Good has come from suffering in my and others lives. Often it strengthens us and makes us better people. Suffering is painful, but not necessarily evil. Since you're obviously not a christian, do you accept suffering attributed to this world as just part of life? Why is it so hard to accept that God would make it this way?
