Serious question for theists: [Spirituality & Religion]

I know on this site I'm mostly known as one of those edgy atheists who make fun of religion and its followers all the time, but I do have a genuine question for the theists on this site:

How can you still believe there is an all-powerful, all-good god while looking at the world as it is?
Whenever I think about all the crazy and horrible stuff that happened and is going on the world rn I just know that there cannot be a god who is omnipotent as well as omnibenevolent. It just doesn't add up.
Please don't be offended, I'm just genuinely curious.

😁😁😁 You love talking about the same thing.
They'd tell you that that's caused by humans themselves, you can't blame God for someone being evil nor for the selfishness of certain people.... 😁😁😁😁😁

@SW-User Agreed, and they would do so while ignoring the fact that God created every characteristic of humanity in their own mythology.

@BlueVeins in the end nobody knows how exactly everything is. Science can't explain everything. Faith can't explain everything. Mixing them leads to endless arguments that emosour loves ☺️☺️

@SW-User God is supposed to be omnipotent, he’s the creator of everything. So did he make some people evil or not? If he did, then he himself is evil. If he didn’t, then he’s not omnipotent.

@SW-User I agree. Neither can explain everything, but science does indeed do a much better job of explaining things accurately. 😄

Why do you have to take everything sooo literally.

@Emosaur why do you... There are things in this life that you can't analyze literally, that requires an open mind, something you'll never have. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
The explanation of what you said is simply, free will.
But then again, I tell you, wait till you die and we'll see. Maybe will realize how much time you wasted talking about this....

@SW-User Not believing in fairy tales isn’t being closed minded 😂

@BlueVeins both are different, faith isn't objective, it's a personal experience so can't measure it like that. Is simple.
I am not religious but I respect people and these posts, are always entertaining for me.
