scaredy,
I believe your view is influenced by many years of video games. As such it might be one that could catch on, though it sounds vaguely like the matrix. That view that we don’t matter may be what allows people to go out and do these mass shootings, they feel it doesn’t matter any more.
I do agree with some of what you say, I think GOD can be an inspirational “person” who inspires thoughts into some and then watches to see what happens. It is extrememly hard for me to believe that GOD would want children to be born with deformities and good honest people to lead lives like Job.
