@contenchess saidMaybe seeing your belief in a creator entity through the prism of theism is the problem for you. Maybe the creator entity neither intervenes nor communicates with us.
Well matter did not create itself so there must be a higher power of some sort.
I just don't think he/she/it... cares about biological life.
We step on ants without a care in the world.
Maybe God sees us the same way? 🤔

@contenchess saidYou blame God for the behavior of humans?
...and I absolutely hate the MotherF***er...
Born into poverty with alcoholic parents which caused a shyt life which caused many bad decisions...
Enough about me...What about them?
The kids born to die as kids.
The kids born with diseases.
What about natural disasters?
I saw a comedy western once and a girl said "what is Parkinson's?"
The reply was..."j ...[text shortened]... t another way for God to show us he loves us"
So where is this God Power?
Not on this planet.
Are human beings culpable at all for their behavior or is it all God’s fault?
God caused your parents to drink too much?
You know the world is under a curse and you know who the ruler of this world is, right?
Do you know every kid who dies spends an eternity in rapturous living in Heaven away from this cursed earth and largely self-interested and selfish humans?

@fmf saidThat’s one person’s opinion.
Back to the thread topic.
So we seem to agree that the God figure you believe exists has not undertaken to prevent "horrible things" from happening. Maybe that's the explanation you should offer to Contentchess.
To say God has not intervened at all to prevent horrible things from happening is ludicrous.
@contenchess saidYeah, that’s why He offered salvation as a gift through the sacrificial death of His Son. Because He cares so little about us 🙄

@contenchess saidIf you believe this to be the case, then the God you are referring to is not the Abrahamic one.
God created matter.
That is all.
