If I was God for one solitary second, I'd end all suffering, simple as that. The fact that he hasn't means he's a complete bastard and not worthy of anyone's respect.
I was making the argument over on TTA that I couldn't care less if there is a god, or if the bible God is real. It would make no difference to me, because I'm not worshipping anyone; least of all the monster Yahweh. So it makes no difference to me whether he is real or not. It just means the difference between christians worshipping nothing and worshipping a sick tyrant. I'm certainly not interest in his twisted games.
If you must pretend that so much suffering exists, then it appears that you are hiding from the world. What do call that? If someone would say that he is going to take away your fear of the suffering and give you peace and confidence while facing this suffering would you be interested? Or would you say " No way! I don't like you and I'm not interested?
