Do you believe in a god, or a comically inept degenerate?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

At this point, the question is why are you not recognizing the reason at our disposal. It does seem to be your god’s greatest weakness.

I believe in God; and I believe God actualized the possible world that would bring the most people into a saving relationship with Him.

It's never concerned me that the religious can be irrational loons, or that they sdo often believe in a god described as an irrational loon. There are plenty of irrational loons in this world that go about their day to day life improving the world and the existence of those around them.
It concerns me when the religious describe a low and evil being and determine that this is the proper object of human worship. It's a race to the bottom, and they intend to get there first.
I'd suggest to those people that these quirks are there own, and not a gods.

So what's your question?

Again, the question is why are you hard pressed to ignore reason?

No question at all. As in, there's no question that your beliefs describe your own attitudes and opinions, and are wholly divorced from any factual detail about any existent god. It is impossible to resolve the disparity between the supposed author of creation, and your own unresolved issues of guilt and self esteem, projected out onto the human race as though we were all the garbage people you know yourself to be.
Maybe the potter breaks a few vessels here and there for flavor, as it appears to in have done in your case, so that we can better appreciate a well made golem by comparison? Or...maybe, shit just happens, and no amount of brokenness, as typified by you and people like you, can make us less deserving in the eyes of our creator? A creator that can see what you do not, or cannot, in the thing it made in it's own image.

Are you asking me?

Where did I ignore reason?
In fact, I'm the most reasonable person on this entire forum.

If you think that's the sort of question you have a cogent answer for, have at it.
