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 [i]know[/i] 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.

God IS "omnipotent as well as omnibenevolent". Human beings are not.
When bad things happen in our lives, we don't blame God for them. We blame the horrible people here on Earth who made them happen. I admit I pray to God to make good things happen in my life, but I don't ask God to open up the skies, reach down, and fix all the horrible stuff that idiots and bad humans have done, and I don't expect God to do that without my asking. That's about the best way I can describe it.

@TAReturns Well, what about the stuff that isn't anyone's fault?
