God, come out, come out wherever you are!

[Matt231]

1) How do you define "help"? Is having a cushy, comfortable life a good thing? If this world is all that exists, then yes, and you're totally right. God is a selfish asshole who just likes to see us squirm. But IF there's something that comes after, then "help" would be the course of action that results in personal growth, understanding who you are, and a growing sense of compassion and mercy. In most cases, the smoother someone's life is going, the less likely they are to examine themselves and try to become better people. Just look at CEOs of corrupt companies for examples of that.

What about people who don't get a chance to grow and become better? Look at all the people who die at a very young age or before they are even born. Why does God let them suffer and die?

2) Assuming God is the one described in the Bible, that particular book lays out pretty clearly enough of God's character to figure out what His desires are.

A book. You get your evidence from a book. I could write a book on God right now, saying that he is an evil, selfish being who only wants to watch people suffer. If most of the population accepted it, would that make it true?

3) I sense frustration. Let's back this up a bit. Please state the point at which you started feeling my arguments got circular. If you like, let's back this up to a higher level philosophical axiom.

You don't have arguments. There is no actual evidence to support the existence of God. It all comes from fictional ideas and delusions.
