God does not cause wars men do. And all you have to do to find God is to look inside yourself, search your soul and you will find Him.

The purpose of life is to live. There are a lot of outside influences in our lives that are more immediate and pressing than blaming God. The wars and death are usually man made. Seek the Goddess / God within yourself and be happy. Being happy is a self starter, do not depend on others to participate, it is all located within you. Let it out.
Have a pleasant day.

This was my answer to a different question earlier but seems to fit here too.
I believe that the Lord wants you to open your heart to Him. We all have something inside of us that nothing can't fullfill it. You know that empty spot inside that no sex, no degree or masters degree, no drug, no material possession, no family member, no friend or boyfriend can fullfill it except Jesus. Jesus loves you so much. Here's a couple of verses.
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
There is a purpose. God has a purpose for you.
Ask Jesus into your heart. Ask, Seek & Knock from your HEART. He will show Himself to you. Jesus is REAL! You WILL never regret it and you will be filled with love, joy & so much peace that is beyond understanding.
Romans 10:9-11
9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

Eris, here is what i believe... the purpose of life is to have experience - good as well as bad. because god is everything, every experience brings us closer to god. i believe we have many lifetimes and have any and every experience so that our souls evolve and come closer to god. I believe in a god that is loving and all of the hard and terrible stuff we go through is for our learning and greatest good. if you have heard people say that god works in mysterious ways, i think this is what they mean. it is hard for our human minds to fathom any good coming out of war or death. I hope you don't feel that I am preaching, I just wanted to share what I believe. I am sure god has an answer for you. You will know in your heart when you recieve it. good luck.

The purpose of life is that we glorify God. Whether we think so, or not.
God is not the cause of war, imperfect man is. Death was not God's original design, but man brought it upon himself.
God is there. He always has been. Man is the one who walked away. But, God has always made Himself available to us, looking for us as a shepherd for lost sheep. It is up to us to decide whether we will follow Him or not.
This is the brief answer. If you want to know more, ask more.

Very intelligent Q- really
Now to understand this we first much understand what we are. If we accept we are not the material machine but the conscious energy which animates it - hence forth known as the soul. Now since you brought up a Supreme being- what is the relationship between the soul and the Supersoul? The relationship between the soul and the Supersoul is one of pure loving service. The soul is part and parcel of the Supersoul with the same attributes- like a drop of the ocean got the same qualities not the same quantity. One of the major qualities is independence- Since He has complete independence He can do anything. We also have this quality but it is not so great due to our infinitesmal nature.
But if we desire to enjoy (His position) separately (another propensity we share with the Supreme) then the Supreme Father cant force a loving relationship- that would not be spontaneous and pure. God is the only transcendental enjoyer in the Eternal world. Therefore He manifests this material creation for us to play in. In it we try to enjoy in different bodies acting or playing different parts- in our mind's eye we are the star of the show- ''We are God''. This is the real God delusion. Whether male or female body we want to be the greatest (Ali), Wealthiest,Wisest, Most Beautiful, Most Renounced, Most Famous and Most Powerful- These are God's qualities but we aspire for them. What we find is generally distress in this world because we cant have these qualities. The real reason why God is not found is because if the person with all divine oplulences were around- we could not enjoy or aspire to be as great as Him/Her. So since there are many of us in this insignificant planet- we serve as devotees to each other. We always view each other in terms of what can be gotten from the other party. Certain cosmic laws are therefore necessary to govern this chaos. Hence the inescapable Law of Karma or cause and effect, of which, a derivative is Newton's 3rd law, which is where I can really begin to answer your q (With the above mentioned info it makes more sense).
As you sow so shall you reap -Biblical. But if one understands that there is more than just one life to live it makes more sense. Otherwise its unjust and would seem downright cruel. You mentioned the plethora of horrible incidents of this world. Like if one had to walk in on an execution of a man- we might think that it would be evil to kill that man but if we found out that he was the leader of genocide it might make more sense. Similarly, children have existed before and like you and I have had innumerable lives. This is why one child is born into a home with a silver spoon and another into a deplorable condition (according to previous activies based on desire and subsequent cosciousness). You may think this is cruel too but in the grand cosmic scale one lifetime is insignificant. God has given us a chance do whatever we want from becoming gods to war heros, beauty queens, Heads of states, hobbos, lions, redwood trees, jellyfish etc. The same indivisible spiritual particle inhabiting different material machines. Eternal torment for finite bad is illogical or unfair, and Kingdom of God for some good deeds is also equally illogical- both lead to unsound math. We have so much freedom- but still even in the best conditions happiness eludes us. How is it that some streetsweepers are happier than some billionaires. In this world happiness is relative. Our real desire is exponential absolute happiness without limits which is available in the Infinite one. Since this is our natural activity- and we are eternal without beginning or end- it makes sense when we understand our real eternal identity then we experience real substantial happiness. It is not possible to experience infinite happiness using the body since it is not our real nature. And it has limits, time and space- we cannot eat as much as we want, we cannot have unending enjoyment. Sex is the highest gross material pleasure but it is so temporary for both men and women. What I am talking about goes lightyears further and is far more substantial. The greatest happiness in this world is love but this too is met with suffering since separation is painful for both partners and happens at death or divorce. God is merciful because He sends His sons, servants and other confidential devotees to give us this divine knowledge. One can only take a horse to water but we cant force it to drink.
In conclusion, neverending satisfaction can occur in self realization- when one understands their actual direct relationship with the Infinite we attain infinite happiness.

Free will, we have free will to choose our destiny.
If we die in the process, no biggie, we go on to the next world and so on and on until the final day of judgement.
