Willing and able huh... well i'm sure he would want to, but the question is how. Of course the easy way would be taking away our free will. I guess he could do that. I don't know who or what god is and what he is capable of, but i seriously doubt he would want to take free will away from us, since that is also one of our greatest blessings.
But on a long-term base, he may be working on it already. Let's assume that he gave messages to prophets for the purpose of trying to teach people that doing evil is wrong. That was the basic idea of religion, at least that's what i believe. But people (collectively), are obviously still not ready to comprehend this message and keep killing eachother over the details of different versions of the same message, thus missing the whole point. Now it's easy to write this behavior off as "human nature", although that seems to be the case. But i'm convinced that people as a whole are in a perpetual learning process, and that it certainly isn't a lost cause.
