So you're looking at the bad things that happen in the world, and judging that if there is a God your existence to him is that of being a mere poker chip, pawn for the glorification of a super cognition. 

So you do know that if there were a God, he would be thinking in this way. That an omniscience might think differently than you do about these things isn't a possibility.
I could give a shit less what this claimed being people claim is real thought. Of course I wouldn't do it like that under the claim of "all powerful" and especially with "all loving".
Imagine parents interviewing a baby sitter, and the potential baby sitter said the following.
Baby sitter, "I have baby sat 99 children. 33 of them while I was baby sitting, a child molester knocked on the door and attempted to enter, but I stopped them before they entered. 33 I let enter and molest the kid, but beat the fuck out of them afterwords. 33 I let the molester go and will wait until he dies to punish them, but no help for the kid while it was happening."
Please tell me you would not hire such a selective baby sitter. Now again, this cosmic baby sitter isn't a mere mortal according to believers, but one who can be 100% efficient. 
Sorry, the logic isn't there.
