Well it appears to me that you and I don't have much else to converse about then. I'm not here to change minds or push people in another direction only to tell you what I have experienced and despite what some of you have been told it's not your job to do that to others. If I did I am no different than the evil entities I am here discussing. If you are happy on your path then good for you. I wasn't, I explained why and it drives some of you bonkers when it shouldn't. All you are really doing here is engaging in confirmation bias of your own faith. I spent 40+ years sitting in the pews. I have walked your path so I have all the evidence I need to make my own personal judgement. Have you walked mine?I see your laughing emoji response to my comment about the brokenness of the world and Cain and Abel. I suppose you find that humorous. But, that's not a particularly good look and smacks of arrogance.
Look- I don't pretend to have all the answers. Why does God allow evil in this world? It appears He has created beings in the heavenly and earthly realms with the capability of doing good but also not. Sentient beings in this universe are allowed to make choices. And, God doesn't force all creation to follow His will. The Creator has granted beings the ability of will and choice. Why does He allow it all to continue on? Some things we may not ever know on this side of eternity. He desires His beings return to Him willingly.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
If every being in heaven and on earth followed God's will and didn't seek glory of self, destruction, and chaos, I suspect it would all be "fixed." But, that just isn't now the universe works. And, no scheme or alternate "spiritual awakening" you or anyone else can contrive will resolve it either.
