And I saw something else under the sun:

In the place of judgment—wickedness was there,
    in the place of justice—wickedness was there.
17 I said to myself,

“God will bring into judgment
    both the righteous and the wicked,
for there will be a time for every activity,
    a time to judge every deed.”
18 I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. 19 Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath[c]; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?”

22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?

"this is their lot" - again some people get a pretty shitty lot - which was the question. Why? Why do some people get fucked royally while evil people live a good life? And doesn't the diversity of experience automatically create an uneven game? Some people don't' have to make the tough choices - and others do.

Now my questions are:

A - if there is a god and he is all powerful how could he let these people be enslaved and tortured (some until their death)? What kind of fucking god would do that?

b - if there is a god the fate of these people is just ABSURD - I mean your life taken from you so that you can be a tortured for the enjoyment of some sociopath? Really. What meaning does your life have if that's the case - years of torture followed by death. Simply ABSURD. And if it's just some "test" then why do cock suckers and murders not face the same test (in fact some of these sociopaths simply get away with it)?

c - The concept of fairness is missing in this world. If a young child can be enslaved and tortured for the sole pleasure of a sociopath while criminals, thieves and murderers run rampant, then there is clearly no sense of fairness on the planet. What's the god rationale for this possibility.

d - Can Karma really exist if scum walk freely in happiness while torturing other people? If so how?

I mean these to be serious inquiries in to the existence of god in light of the absurd.
