To answer your second question.
He gave humans a mind of their own.
God did not pollute the world, humans did.
God did not murder millions of people in wars, humans did.
No matter how delusional in their understanding.
Thought God murdered millions of people in the flood, or how about the destruction of sodom and gomorrah? Or how about when he goes on one of his baby killing sprees?
They may not be so much act of wars, but more like genocide...
So he gave us our free will? Then told everybody to worship him and follow his every command or you will go to hell for eternity!?!
The guy is a psychopathic dictator full of hate and lust for revenge, more people have been killed in the name of God than by anything else
Also, he DOESNT EXIST!!
Who did you say was delusional???
It's because when you don't submit to God you remain wicked. You know, a lying and cheating good guy.
What is God?

God = Creator, Me, I can create, God = Me...
To me God is just EVERYTHING, not a person, not somebody, but EVERYTHING.
Heaven and Hell isnt a place you can go if you worship God, but a place you can create with the actions you take in life.
Organised Religion is the wicked one, lying and cheating to enslave human race, religion is personal, youre a part of God too, dont let another man tell you what God wants you to do, only YOU know that...
So call me wicked if you must, i will NEVER submit to any other God than myself...
Scratch the surface of any anti-christian and there comes the curse
cause since he is almighty and does not stop it.
But it is only when humans choose to do evil that God allows it.
Eventually man will be judged by God and not the other way around.

So man effectively doesn't have "free will"

Does it not seem that a lot of suffering: comes from us not getting what we want? Or from the world not being as we would wish? Grasping, craving, wishing, wanting: are these not how we cause suffering to ourselves, and others?
Perhaps its not one or the other (ego or spiritual eye). But a combination of both. As written in Gospel of Thomas - ("when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female").
So I find myself shifting my perspective yet again. From redirecting my focus from me to others. Helping others is the only joy that never fades in me. aka practising Bodhicitta. So I don't plan to exit for the sake of exiting. I plan to stay a while

Abstract
Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the fetus' health. By showing that (1) both fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons, (2) the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant and (3) adoption is not always in the best interest of actual people, the authors argue that what we call ‘after-birth abortion’ (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.

Infanticide Should Be Legalized
The United States should allow the use of infanticide in the case of infants with severe medical complications. This policy should be adopted because euthanizing infants in some scenarios can be a valid moral option since certain infants can be born with absolutely terrible life prospects. For example, there are a number of instances where infants can have terminal ailments that cause them to suffer immensely after birth before killing them shortly thereafter. In these situations, infanticide should be an option available to the parents of infants with these conditions. Additionally, there are strong grounds that can justify infanticide in a broader context since infants are not rational and self-conscious agents. Because infants cannot hold a conscious desire to continue living – and have never held a conscious desire to continue living - they can't be given the same rights as persons. Therefore, painlessly killing an infant cannot be wrong in the same way that killing a person is wrong. Of course, there would have to be parameters set around the practice of killing infants. And such technical matters are, indeed, important. But, for now, it is sufficient to recognize that there are certain situations in which intentionally killing infants can be justified.

Peter Albert David Singer, AC (born 6 July 1946) is an Australian moral philosopher. He is the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, and a Laureate Professor at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at the University of Melbourne. He specialises in applied ethics and approaches ethical issues from a secular, utilitarian perspective. He is known in particular for his book Animal Liberation (1975), in which he argues in favour of veganism, and his essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality", in which he argues in favour of donating to help the global poor. For most of his career, he was a preference utilitarian, but he stated in The Point of View of the Universe (2014), coauthored with Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, that he had become a hedonistic utilitarian.

Why does God allow good things to happen? Did anything good ever happen in your life?
Yea, keep talking to yourself. You're doing great so far.
