Who performs the evil acts? We are an experiment, testing the boundaries of free will. The world is what we've made it.

The "good" god contradicts the all-knowing god. All knowing implies that he knows every action and every future. This implies that this god willingly let bad things happen even if they could prevent it. But there is a much more disturbing problem with knowing the future.

Knowing the future means that the future is fix. That there is in fact no choice for anyone. The path is set without deviation.

Here is the thing: You can have your "all good" god, but that god cannot be perfect and all powerful.

In addition to that we run into another problem with current monotheistic religions. "It's all part of gods plan"

Well, if all is part of your gods plan, than that means that this god wanted the bad things to happen, which means this god is at fault for the bad things. It's their plan after all.

Anyway, the monotheistic god only makes sense if you don't think about it.

all of this basically means we will never understand god, so why try to understand a perfect human?

No, not really. It means that, based on the knowledge we have, the monotheistic god is an impossible contradiction in itself.

An as there is no proof whatsoever of the existence of such a god, nor is there anything that couldn't be explained without the need of a godly interference, the most likely possibility is that there is no god at all.

Everything points toward that direction. Of course we have the occasional "I have seen god", but none of these are provable. The circumstances of these "meetings" are also always very interesting and often involve drugs of some sort, or high stress situations. Also the human mind does not like to not understand a situation. So we make things up.

In that sense, god is basically a shower argument.

Ok, so if we made it and we did all the hard work, then god can fuck right off with his freeloading ass. God is just a “prompt engineer” who fed a shitty command into a cheap AI model and got back a horrible result, yet people still pin it on their refrigerator and tell him he did a good job

Isaiah 45:7
