As a leftist athiest I just don't see how it would be possible to reconcile the reality of the horrific suffering humanity goes through due to our capitalist hellworld with the belief in an all powerful, all loving creator god as described in abrahamic religions.

Not here to be an obnoxious relijin bad dawkincuck debate bro, I genuinely want to learn something.

    While I am no longer particularly religious, I am culturally Jewish and was raised Jewish. We don't really talk about God being universally "good" the way that Christians do. In the Torah, God does lots of things that aren't good and many of which cause suffering. God is worshipped in the way that somebody would respect their parents or swear fealty to a king, not in the Christian sense of being a perfect being.
