Wrong again.
Humanity is ill. We have a condition called sin. Unlike creation which is easy for God the problem of sin is hard. It is like a catch 22. On one hand He is not willing that any should go to hell. On the other, Justice, one of the primary aspects of His being demands that the punishment of sin is the 2nd death which is hell.
In order to satisfy Justice He became human and paid the penalty Himself. His death on the cross was a sacrifice made for all. He was the only one with the power to raise Himself from death. And because He was without sin only His death could pay for all others. Could he stop it all right now? Yes. But the reason He does not is Mercy. Mercy is another aspect of His being. These aspects are absolute. It is out of mercy that He gives humanity the time to find salvation.
He does not enoy our suffering quite the opposite. His willingness to die for us proves that. He allows us the time to find salvation out of Love and Mercy and allows to risk of the trivial suffering of this world to avoid the far greater sufferings of hell.

Except its still happening now and it matters now to the ppl its happening to. It can never be undone. Its cruel to allow it just bc the divine being would know one day things will be better.

It can never be undone.
One day it will be only a distant memory and will hold no pain.
Its cruel
it is not cruel. It is merciful that God is allowing humanity time to find salvation.

God’s morality is different than the secular world’s morality.
You can’t really equate the two. World morality changes all the time, as cultures evolve. Most people adopt the morality of whatever the status quo morality is at that time. We just decided slavery was wrong not even 200 years ago. Billions of years we had it, and just now decided it’s ethically wrong.
You’re imagining God through your perceptual filtering of living as a human in the West in 2023.
Now of course, secularly, raping kids is a lot worse than telling a lie or cheating on your spouse.
But in God’s view, a sin is a sin.
In God’s view, statutory sex isn’t even a sin as long as you’re married. Christians can still commit the sin of child rape and be saved but not be gay. You can’t be gay and saved.
Why did God allow children to be aborted? Why did he allow women to be burned at the stake?
God supports stoning of individuals who are rude to their parents. If we advocated this now, we’d be called a monster. But this was a wedge issue in 0 BC. Fox News:
the progressive left wants to ban stoning of children! Heathens!
Maybe those children were disobedient. Who knows? God’s stance doesn’t change my stance on the issue.
Never lose your desire.
