So God has an eternity of peace and happiness planned for us. But instead of putting us directly into it, to be with him as he wishes, he puts us into a shitty life surrounded with disease, despair and suffering for no better reason than to see if we will worship him for doing so?
If everything God does is automatically "good" then you have a dictatorship. And "good" has nothing to do with human wellbeing, if it is used to describe literally anything God feels like doing. Such as creating diseases, famine, animal cruelty, rape, murder etc. He could have avoided all those things! They are all clearly surplus to requirements as he chooses not to have those things in heaven.
You are bowing down to a fascist dictator. Or in reality, to the men who claim to represent this dictator. They have beaten you down so bad that you just accept whatever shit they tell you without checking whether it makes sense, or is actually moral.
