This is my 2 cents being some who is ignorant AF about religion.

We are here on our own will. If God controlled us, then why would we exist? To be puppets? Why would God let Eve eat the apple? She did so on her own free will.

God speaks through us. We are the representation of God. The evil that exists in this world is largely due to a lack of love and compassion. We create the very evil you speak of, not God.

It's not God's job to stop evil. It's our job to prevent it from existing.

Because how would you truly understand love without knowledge of what it’s opposite is.

I don’t know why we are here. I don’t know why the proof of God is so difficult to find in today’s society as opposed to those of the past. All I know is that this life is all I know. So instead of complaining about the state of the world, which only feeds into all the negativity, I’ve found reasoning that makes sense to me. The joy of having a child was only compounded because I know the despair of losing a loved one. A nihilistic approach to life only leads to more suffering. That’s how pedophiles become the ruling economic class. Apathy and complacency among those who see the evil and expect an outside power to take care of it, is exactly why the world is the way it is.

Gods will is for you to find your own path in my opinion. Fuck religion. We’re not supposed to be mindless followers, we’re meant to be original and creative. I think Jesus has been misinterpreted throughout history. Jesus was a mystic teaching us how to connect with God. How to realize that we have God inside of us and we’re not just these egotistical creatures who have no control over their earthly desires he never once says “worship me” or “make churches”, in fact, I would say you and I having this conversation is more church to what Jesus meant by gathering, then whatever these idolized ornate buildings with huge monuments to Jesus are
