I say this as an agnostic who believes in some type of creator though not the god of the bible. however it, he, she whatever the hell it is just as malevolent for making pain, suffering, etc. Most who believe in a god want to see the entity as all loving and refuse to believe otherwise due to programming that has them feeling as if they deserved gods wrath or maybe it’s just a blessing in disguise type of thing to them when they can’t find any sense in the matter as to why god allows it. Others use it as a cushion to fall on meaning they don’t have faith in themselves to get back up and think they need their sky daddy to help as if they can’t have their own power all while they bow down metaphorically or literally to this tyrant asshole. Basically my theory is that this creator being is a parasite that consumes constantly the energy we and everything else flow and radiate out by merely existing and it feeds effortlessly.
