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.

that seems to be a common misconception about God. he damns people. he's not omnibenevolent. if you go by the bible, it's his orders to release the plagues and all that kind of stuff. why do people all think God is such a goody goody? Our Father in heaven and all that can be a prick.

@Emosaur only way to know God is through Jesus, ask Jesus into your heart if you ever want

@Emosaur be patient. you are young. Jesus didnt come into his own even until he was 33. may i suggest studying the paths of yoga and picking one to follow for a while https://sivanandayogafarm.org/blog/4-paths-of-yoga/
