God isn't interested in talking about his job so I doubt we're going to get an answer.

And do you really think that only God can tell you what you would do?

I didn't say that God could tell me what I would do, I said what He would do.

I dunno what I would do exactly but would be a little more righteous towards the poor and those suffering. Share the wealth more. I mean make it a bit more bareable for some to go on in this life. Give some people a second chance because I can see in their hearts whether they deserve it or not. I just wouldn't let people keep dying ang getting screwed and not do anything about it

If I were God...nothing would exist.

If I were God I would make it clearer to the human people why severe suffering happens in our world.

Or how about this. God is Love. Love encompasses everything, Thus encompassing everything, it has reign over everything, including evil(and suffering). This reign over everything, gives love or God, the ability to righteously condemn evil(and show compassion on suffering). Therefore God being fully loving, allows the existence of evil(and suffering) knowing that it will only justify and strengthen the existence and reign of love(and his compassion). And if God did not allow the opposite of himself to exist, then there would be no justification for him being loving(and compassionate and fair), and well quite frankly he himself wouldn't be loving(and compassionate and fair). Or as the apostle Paul whom you like so much graciously puts it:

Romans 5:20-21
"Moreover, the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound, that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ, our Lord"

So although sin(and suffering) may have increased with evil's existence, Love(and compassion) increased even more so. Or think about it this way. If evil(suffering) existed outside of God, then God would have no control of it, and we'd all be at the mercy of evil(and suffering). This would include God or Love himself. By acknowledging himself as encompassing and having complete control and domnion over evil(and suffering), God once again justifies himself to be fully loving(and compassionate and fair) God, capable of offering eternal life to all of his creations through our lord Christ Jesus.

I edited the above quote a bit from what was originally posted.

But if you really want to know the oversimplified answer - just remember this phrase.."God is Love.."😉

If I were god there'd be no religion.

Bbbbbboring.

If I was God, I wouldn't create a world of sin so I could punish them later.

If I were God:

I WOULD REVEAL MYSELF TO EVERYONE

you know, rather than being an absentee landlord
