God is in each and everyone of us in my viewpoint. This to me ( life on this plane) is all a test the longevity in it all is not infinite.

Suffering is part of progression in my viewpoint. as with humans we are good and bad is it not thinkable and understandable that our creator is
the same.
And ok if God is not real then is it not fitting that who ever made him up has made him a reflection of what humanity is capable of.

humans can be merciful, merciless, of split personality's, loving, unloving, pathological, illogical, logical, humans can heal illness, they can cause it, we can prevent destructions and then create them.

For me the question is not of what does god think about human suffering, its about what humanity thinks about it and how humanity can change it.

For me, I believe our future is in the hands of God; if it were in our hands, then I know we would be doomed.
