Why Isn't Human Society A Paradise?

[robvalue]

I think I have the answer.

This is just a shitty test for God to decide who he wants to play with and who he gets to torture later. There's no reason he'd make this place actually good, any more than someone would feed you grapes while you're doing a maths exam.

Except of course, he generally seems to know the outcome of the test before he even starts it, making the whole thing entirely pointless. He could have just made people he definitely likes, and put them somewhere nice in the first place. But that wouldn't provide an "explanation" since this place is clearly not that place. Especially since God is nowhere to be found.
