Well, if you are a believer in God and the Bible, then God clearly made huumanity suffer. All religious people seem to take joy in following the Bible and hurting their fellow human being.
God is the greatest mass murderer in history.
References: Genesis 6:11-17 and Genesis 7:11-24
Some examples:
GE 6:13 - And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
GE 6:17 - And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Seems to me that God (for believers) is annoyed with humanity other than his buddy Noah, and decides to kill (murder) every living thing on the face of the earth, except of course Noah and his family - got to have a few friends left.
God allowed women raped and your little children slaughtered.
From God’s so called Bible - Isaiah 13:15-18
“Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children.”
How any decent person can believe and follow the Bible is beyond imagination, seems like religious people just ignore the bits they dislike and twist the rest into a happy delusion, much like the behaviour of drug addicts.

I don't make others suffer! If I did, I certainly would not have any joy in doing so.

Schadenfreude,
It basically means shameful joy.
It isn't suffering I have created, but I get a little pleasure from seeing other people getting pulled over and getting a ticket. I think I am just so mad at all the bad drivers. I just want SOME of them to "TAKE IT"

No joy whatsover. I have learned that revenge is sweet but forgiveness is even sweeter. See Romans 12.
I hope you find the peace you are looking for.
Peace be with you

Great pleasure can be derived from causing your enemy harm or even seeing your enemy suffer.
But Christians are called to be better than that. Jesus said to pray for our enemies and not to seek revenge!

You should be directing that question to Bible thumpers, Jesus pushers, frothing mouthed, far right christians, and all who endorse the Word of GOD (Bible).......Ask Them since they are mostly on this site with their Condemning, Harassing, Mockery, Disrespect, and Insults!.......FACT!.....
