Spiritual Stockholm Syndrome

One of the most widespread beliefs found in nearly all religions and spiritual systems is that we live in a wonderful world designed by a benevolent designer created by a wholly loving and perfect monotheistic Creator. The Universe is seen as a University a material dimension where we can manifest our desires learn lessons gather information and experience grow and evolve into something better and later go somewhere better. By developing our karma living in accordance with certain commandments or by having enough faith we are promised immortality in a heavenly afterlife realm with other perfected spiritual beings. But if we were truly created by a sane wholesome perfect all-loving and all-powerful God is this really how our world would be? Why would such a God create fallen sinful imperfect and ignorant humans in the first place? Why would a sane God create psychopaths sociopaths predators homicidal maniacs serial rapists and other insanity? Why is everything subject to entropy aging sickness suffering and death? Why would God create parasites like hook worms ring worms tape worms and lice? Why the need for skin-eating fungi organ-destroying cancers disease-breeding bacteria and so many other chronic and degenerative illnesses diseases toxins and poisons? Why did God create such a huge variety of terrifying and torturous natural disasters from tsunamis tornadoes hurricanes earthquakes hail storms and volcanic eruptions to droughts famines plagues and pestilence? Why does everything exist in a predatory hierarchical food chain where life feeds upon life and must constantly kill to survive? Why do we have no memory of anything before our births into this realm and why are we never given a clear and unarguable history explanation instructions or purpose for our existence here? Why would a perfect loving and benevolent God create such a horrific malevolent and confusing reality as this? If you truly loved and wanted the best for your creations is this how our world would be set up? Spiritual Stockholm Syndrome explores the ancient Gnostic idea that Earth is not the creation of the One True Unknowable God but rather a reincarnation soul trap matrix designed by an insane and inferior god.
