I assume that when you say world, that you are also under the impression that your God also created everything else. Whether or not you limit God's creation to this universe or are inclined to extend it to another one or an infinite number of them, I have no guess. But I'm guessing it's safe to assume that you did not intend on limiting your God's accomplishments to Earth alone, but literally EVERYTHING ON IT THAT HAS EVER EXISTED, and ALL of that which surrounds it? I'm curious to see how you plan on absolving this God of the events which transpired upon the world you believe he created using the omniscient properties you no doubt will concede that you also attribute to him...

In places where people are miserable, the misery is usually caused by other people.You must realize that this does absolutely nothing but make you look as though you are a complete dumbass. Please excuse my tactful approach, but literally everything you've said (if my assumptions about your beliefs are true) contradicts your entire belief system. THAT, or you don't understand what would constitute a legitimate placing of blame.
Which is it?

But you do recognize that it IS that, you merely push the envelope. To you, it's a place where creatures suffer for millennium after millennium AND, there's a place where people suffer and are willfully tortured FOR ETERNITY by order of the very being you believe those who do not believe that your imaginary friend is anything but an absurd concept plaguing on the otherwise capable thinking vessels in which this idea occupies...
Much more indeed.
