First of all, God made us as well as everything. He knows what will happen, He planned it all. No one is perfect, and that itself says that we all have problems; life goes up and down. The reason why He gives us problems are because He wants us to learn. You can't just know everything and become a better person without enduring problems. My teacher once told me that God doesn't give problems that cannot be solved in some way. He makes sure that we can accept it or solve it in some way. This may be hard to understand or accept but it is true in a way. Through the bad things that happen in life, greater good comes out. This also explains the reason why there is cruelty in the world. Without it people wouldn't respond and try to solve the problems evil gives to us all. This is why Jesus Christ came to the world - to save us. And from that comes greater good.
Hope you'll understand. I'm just trying to help. :)

Why is a being outside of time need no creator? You are saying that a complex universe needs a complex creator. Where is the time dependent statement in that? Why must it be a deity outside of time? I agree the causality, as we generally understand it, breaks down once you have free movement in the 4th dimension, but how does that equate to "God is real"? Why can there not be an 11 dimensional multiverse where universes are constantly spawned? No god required. And there is some support for this being correct - look up M-theory. Even if I swallow all your arguments, despite their fallacies and gaping holes, all you have done is say that a creator god exists. You have failed to prove which creator god it is. There is still no reason for me to become Christian, Muslim, etc. because the texts describing the gods of those religions are still as flawed, contradictory and hearsay as they were before your argument was presented. The best you can hope for is to persuade me to become a deist. As for your question: I do not know. Neither do you. I would rather approach this with an open mind and actually find out what the reality is, rather than your approach of saying that whatever someone wrote down 4000 years ago is right and there is no point testing that.

Think about it this way. As a child your parents tried to help you. But did you always listen? And did you always get what you wanted from them? God is the same way. He is your eternal parent. Why should He give you everything you want? Do you think you really deserve that? He does answer our questions. The question is do you listen and accept the answer He gave you, or was the answer He gave not the one you wanted. He doesn't make us suffer, and he doesn't make our lives easier for one thing. He doesn't want a bunch of robots. We make our lives suffer or get better by what we do. He does help. He blesses you every day in some way or another. Just remember, He's your eternal parent, and so he knows a little bit more than you do.

You are right. Why doesn't He make our lives easier? He could change things in a moment's time. But that would not benefit us. God exists. He is continually solving the problems and answering questions for me and many others I know maybe not in the way we expect them to be answered sometimes. He does not want to make us suffer. He is more concerned with our spiritual well being and eternal life rather than our comfort here which is temporary. Sometimes it takes rough times to reveal the true person God created - through difficult times and hardship one enjoys total freedom and a stronger relationship with God...no more suffering ...no matter what one might face. But one's response must be to seek God's will in order to benefit and grow from adversity. There is too much to write about this here...you may want to look at the book of John in the bible and Romans. Also good and Job and Psalms may help with your question.

I feel God exists, yes. He doesn't solve our problems because the majority of them are self-created and we have free will and choice. He gives us the things He feels we deserve, not what WE feel we deserve (there's a huge difference!). He does answer our questions..we just don't like the answers sometimes. He does love us and He does make our lives easier but we as humans screw things up. He does not make us suffer....we make us suffer. All things begin and end with US! We must take responsibility for our own actions, period. That is our job as humans. It was said most eloquently by the Dali Lama that we need to practice the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; Responsibility for one's own actions. Our free will was God's greatest gift and He does not interrupt our gift of choice.

if he did exist, I think he wouldn't solve all our problems because that would deprive us of free will. Really, would living in a Utopia be that great without freedom? Besides, if god interfered at all, people would always know the outcome because god is perfect, and then we're back at something very close to an absense of free will.
As for getting the things we deserve, you should receive them because of your actions, not because someone notices you being good and decides to dote ukpon you. And even if you don't get what you deserve, you should know that life isn't always fair, and be a good enough person to just suck it up and get on with your life. And he wouldn't answer our questions because for the most part, we need to figure them out for ourselves; if he always told us the answers, we would learn nothing and life would be boring (because we knew all we needed to know, depriving us of something to want to learn).
It would be from all this evidence that we could conclude that he does love us, but chooses not to help us because of it.
P.S. I don't think he actually exists, but that's just me.

Maybe, like a video game, it's more fun for God to watch us attempt to solve our own problems, even though He created them in the first place. It probably keeps Him from being bored. Oh, and by the way, maybe we ARE getting what we deserve during the process, but I don't know why.

God exists, there is no doubt. God helps those who help themselves
in other words, we are expected to live and ask for God to guide us and empower us by living a healthy lifestyle and follow the ten commandments. We can't expect just to sit there and God solves our problems, we need to ask God to grant us Wisdom and Knowledge so we can solve the problems we face with his blessing and help.

God exist. He might be listening when you do not have knowledge of it. Tell me can you protect someone every second from simple cuts bruises or people taunts. No. right. The same way you have got your own brains to utilze and get out of a situation that endangers your life. Have faith and thats it. Thats not very hard either.

People don't "want" compatible things. This is why people get divorced. They discover after marriage that they don't want the same things their partner does.
Picture that same incompatibility on a Global scale.
Its simply Not God's Responsibility to wipe our bloody noses or take another kid's toys away from him for our benefit.
We suffer and are unhappy, in large part, because we fail to accept our part in His creation.
