Regarding the omnipotence of our God, I want to ask how powerful he is. For example, can he create a new universe instantly, with a snap of his fingers? What about seeing the future? Does he know exactly what I will do in 30 years? Which cafe will I be sitting in with whom on April 17, 2060? What about my children and grandchildren (if I have any)? Does he know their entire lives? Does Father Zeus know what flavor cake will be served and how many candles will be on my grandchildren's thirtieth birthday cake? If so, how much free will do we really have if everything is determined from the very beginning? I admit that the old framework of alien Gods was a little more comfortable for me, but I know the reason is only because they feel more relatable and close.
Now, I am trying to understand this new knowledge. However, this seems no different than the simulation theory because we are not fighting an alien species, but rather, our God created us and put us on Earth. They inserted an ever-present system of Ma'at versus Izfet and are watching and helping if they see fit, just for the sake of it. I'm not saying the Gods don't love us, but why would they love us? One might say they love us the same way you love your dog. Well, I didn't create my dog or any other animals. If you were the creator of dogs, would you allow some of them to be abused and suffer? People see their pets and other animals as companions who go through life with them. But since the Gods created us, why should they love us?
Finally, we know that heaven doesn't exist. I feel like people who have gone through extreme suffering, abuse, slavery, and torture should be entitled to something like heaven, at the very least. And, if anyone wants to assume, no I didn't get abused or tortured, I have loving parents and I am very grateful for them, and I pray to the Gods for protecting them and try to not take them for granted.
The Gods created them and knew they would go through these things from the beginning. Hence, God is omnipotent, but I am not sure how far this omnipotence, power, and foresight stretch. This is my main question here.
If these atrocities are needed to flourish a righteous Temple, good initiates, and a few theophoros to bring back Ma'at, then at the very least, these poor souls should be compensated somehow, but these are just my feelings. I am not telling the Gods to do this or that obviously, that would be a very serious crime. Just expressing my feelings to get answers. Because this system seems brutal for the unfortunate.
Back then it was more understandable, and I am not expecting to understand the divine here on a forum post, but we were told that the Gods created us, some malicious external entities waged war against our earth, and mankind had to suffer. Now, this story also raised many questions for the members because they were like why Father Satan lost this war, why he didn't help this person etc. But I was like so what if he lost a single war, what if he is not all powerful, he cares for us, he gives us knowledge and enlightenment, he fights for our behalf and we will return his favor. I personally had no problem with him not being omnipresent.
But since Father Zeus is omnipresent, we are not exempt from the Epicurean paradox, so can someone please answer this paradox? It would be really helpful.
Thank you for reading my thoughts on this. I hope to receive some help. I hope my questions make sense, and that the answers will be valuable to me and others in the future with the same questions.

I don't want to seem arrogant, but is all of this really worth it? Loving a few righteous people who are walking the path of becoming theophoros while, on the other hand, millions of children can't get a good night's sleep, fearing that they could be hit by a missile and buried under the rubble at any moment in some region of the world. Some children are getting r*ped on one island, and most likely, some toddlers are being consumed on another. All of this human suffering is real, crushing, and dreadful. If all of this is known from the beginning, it's just sad and shitty in my opinion.
For example, many members raised concerns about performing a ritual for Lady Nemesis. As a Zevist, you are better most likely better than 95% of people when it comes to ethics and not being a criminal. I'm not saying this to boost my ego. I feel like most members would agree with this. So, why are we concerned that Lady Nemesis will negatively affect us initiates while we perform a ritual to her and seek justice?
Did the guy who r*ped and tortured children ever feel any kind of concern? Did he fear Lady Nemesis? Most likely not, he seemed very smug and full of oxytocin and serotonin.
