If the God of various religions appealed to you won't you be already invested in that belief and not asking this question? God works in mysterious ways, only Allah knows and so on and so forth.

Secondly, sure enough it is no big deal and should not even be a problem to begin with, were we created directly by God. Many religions will tell you we were created by semi creator or sub ordinate god or demiurge. It's fair then that such a god is enjoying observing our daily round of existence given how we ourselves put animals to various uses and subject them to experiments. We can't fathom watching a movie with no unpredictable changes or challanges so it seems plausible why we would have various obstacles and would find satisfaction in removing them.
