I was asked who I support in the Israel conflict. Of course I said neither. Then the NPC started telling me about this coworker who was Palestinian and they aren't all bad blah, blah, blah.

I said I support Christians, I don't like death and destruction, but we are never going to stop jews and muslims killing each other. Wasting more American money and lives won't change anything. Then I reminded how muslims destroyed the World Trade Center as this person seemed to be taking the muslim side of the conflict. I think that actually sunk in. How short person's memory can be.

I believe in God 100%, I just cannot believe that he is Good. There is too much weird, Evil shit going on. I always have this weird feeling something is playing a trick on me and wants everyone to suffer. I do not want consciousness and reject the premise that Free Will is a gift. The act of Creation strikes me as intrinsically Evil. I don't trust any of it.

The one who is trying to play a trick on everyone and wants us all to suffer is the devil. He's wants everyone to go down with him, since he has been condemned.

God is good, He does have a plan. Just realize all this weird and evil stuff you're seeing is in "babylon", so to speak. You find it in places that aren't living in accordance with God's design. In places like America it's pretty much everywhere, because the nation itself is run by devil worshippers. You can always find good, God fear people and communities. In those places, you get a glimpse of what God's intended design is.

God has helped me out throughout my life, whenever I actually seek His help. In my experience, He is a good guy.

I find your words comforting, but I still don't get how a Righteous God could let this place exist.

I've had the same question myself in the past

From what I understand, it all has to do with why GOd made us. The TL;DR is He created us to share in a mutual relationship with beings like Him (made in His image) and thus having their own will, like Him. The bad has to exist because of the Fall of Man, due to man's free will choice to sin. God isn't going to reverse the free will actions man made, because that would invalidate man's free will entirely, meaning man wouldn't actually be made in God's image. God thus works through willing followers to bring about the salvation of mankind through His son Jesus Christ, to bring about that none of the lost sheep shall perish, but all have eternal life. Like refining gold or silver in a furnace. The impurities are burned away, leaving a pure final product. The Fall added the imprutiy.

There's alot more detail to it, but that's the most condensed explanation I can give to that exceptoinally expansive question.

Believe me, the truth is hopeful, in spite of all the doom and gloom. Might not seem like it, because of all the trauma programming, but there is a way out of this nightmare.
