Do you think we are wishful thinking, in a God?

Sometimes in life Ill think, Im lucky to be alive. Theres times on the road a speeding car alnost creamed me, and just life in general I think, maybe someone is watching over me. But then I think of my aunt, who recently had a rare disorder that caused oxygen to be deprived, rashes. It would eat her own immune system they told her, and it did. One day, only having it a couple months, she said, I dont want to die. 😟 A month later, she passed from that horrible disease. Why wasnt anyone watching out? Was it truly just her time, at only 57??
And you hear of little kids...recently a boy kept a knife under his pillows because his mom was violent. Thinking ahead at a young age for protection. And then, his mother took the knife, and literally stabbed him in the back, and he died. An innocent little being. Was there someone watching over him????? 😢 While I do believe there must be some higher power and am astoundingly grateful for life, Its hard wondering theres a being watching us or that loves us etc, when you think of those examples.

Sadly it is quite obvious that if there a god, he loves some people a lot more than others, and straight out hates some too. And all that is independent of religion or the way someone lives their life and treats others.

@NerdyPotato @NerdyPotato If there is a God he is the same as a parent who would put its own child in danger or not care for it

@NerdyPotato Yeah it doesnt make sense, when God supposedly created his own children, to hate some or allow some to greatly suffer??
@Coralmist nope... For me that is the main reason to question whether a god exists or whether he deserves the praise he demands if he does exist. I'm still open to the idea of one existing and even to him being all good and powerful, but some explanation is in order before I'll have anything to do with him, let alone praise or love him.
