Why would God hurt people?

My favorite question. Gods wrath is for the wicked, those who dispise him and deny him and worship false gods. Gods mercy is giving those people a chance to repent. God shows no favor in the wicked-hearted but in those who love him and serve him. Bless God and he will bless you, curse God and he will curse you. I am a friend of God, therefore I am on his team. If you are not a friend of God, you are a captive of the enemy, the great deciever.
