After watching this interview years ago, Fry's response was perfect for me to sum up why I don't believe in any gods or supreme beings looking out for mankind. Just about every year more and more "reasons" are added to my list, in 2022 it was Uvalde, TX adding 19.
But when you think about all the gods of old including old testament God, they were all assholes, meddling in human affairs was their thing and thus gives us stories, fables, and myths on how we thought the universe works. So when I hear about the misery going on in the world I just think nothing really has changed since ancient times and everything is on par for the course. A couple thousand years later and we still have to resort to some omnipotent being having the answers and reason for everything at best frustrates me but I'm firm believer people have to find out on their own.
Lewis Black has a great quote years ago and I paraphrase: "In the Old Testament, God was all about punishing people and having them feel his wrath to keep them in line, but with the New Testament he somehow went through an anger management class and now he loves you".
