Where does the Light Go when you Turn the Switch Off?

Where does the Light Go when you Turn the Switch Off?
We know light is made up of particles called photons. But they don’t act like other particles. If I pour salt from a box onto a plate, when I close the box, the salt will still be on the plate. But when I look into a lightbulb while switching it off, I can see the light being sucked back into the bulb. That may be an illusion, but my point remains, why do photon particles disappear when their source is turned off?
1. Why does everything within the earth’s atmosphere keep pace with its spin except light? Because of gravity, when the Earth spins away from the sun, everything spins with it, but the light remains where it was.
2. Why does the cosmic microwave background defy the laws that govern photons on Earth by existing without a source?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
