I struggle with the human suffering part. Why would a JUST God allow it? Especially with children. One of the more horrific examples of this is the case of a little girl, Emma Thompson in TX, who was being badly beaten on a daily basis by her mother’s boyfriend. She was 4. She was being raped repeatedly by him and the last day she was alive, she suffered over 80 bruises, a fractured skull, a ruptured pancreas and vagina, had genital herpes and her mother attempted to cover it all up and leave her in a creek. A human rag doll. The most beautiful child you could ever imagine. Why.
But I enjoyed this video because it does show hope for humanity. There are very bright, articulate, positive people out there. I’d just like to know why this would happen. Why horrible things never seem to happen to horrible people?
God gave people free will. He wants us to choose Him on our own, not from programming like little robots. The universe was created for his pleasure. Robots wouldn't be much fun. Having free will means that some people will choose to act badly.
"...seem to happen..." We don't see everything that goes on with these people. And we won't see them in their eternal punishment at death. We have faith that God will punish one way or another.

Things are so much easier to explain and understand if you start with the idea that all gods are fictional inventions of man.
