He hated us so much, that he preferred joining forces with the devil to torture poor Job.
He hates us so much that he allows the devil to live when he has no problems allowing children to starve, be raped, and die of cancer.
That is not a loving god. That is a monster.
It's interesting and humorous that you atheists think all the stories of the bible are made-up. Yet you are right there blasting them as actual events.
As for Theodicy? Evil exists. And God is the only way around it. Unfortunately, no one (especially here) invokes God for help. No, we (yes even me,
sometimes) prefer to solve things ourselves....or blame someone else (aka God) for them, when we can't solve them. We forget that most all
of our problems are caused by US!
Fortunately, there is a "Way"! Jesus. It's basically submitting to the, "Will of God". Accepting Him. Trusting Him. Loving Him...and each other.
He paid the price for everything that YOU blamed Him for. And His "human creation" put Him to death for all those things and more!
Don't keep crucifying Him! Believe that the debt has been paid. He conquered evil for us, and death is now just a door. We can all choose to be divine
children of God! Rather than perpetuating the lie that "everything is His fault"!
Yes, we were given a Life. And we have free will. Let's use it for good, not evil. Love, not hate. And understand that many things we criticize God for is
collectively in our power to remedy, or avoid. And what is not; is left to God's Will and Power to trust in.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Amen
Quis ut Deus?
