There are 4000 religions, but there is one truth. there cannot be 2 truths otherwise that means neither is the truth. We are required to find that truth and follow it.

There has to be objective morality that was commanded by god to know what is good and what is bad.

Now for me, it's Islam and the Quran. I can say with certainty that the Quran is the word of god and there is plenty of proof. We just need to do a bit of research.

> An all-powerful god who creates subjects that are capable of failing a test of his own devising, even though he totally could make everyone adequate if he so chose, such a god is an evil sadist

That wouldn't be called a test. That would be perfect beings who follow the commands of god. (which already exist and are called angels)

> It'd be like making up rules for what constitutes an evil pixel in Conway's game of life and punishing those pixels for their transgressions. You controlled every parameter.

If we set the rules and command those pixels you to follow the rules otherwise we punish you. And those pixels had free will but still chose to transgress. Wouldn't be fair to punish them?

> Those pixels failed the test because you set them up for preordained failure.

You have free will. You chose to transgress and revoke god even though the signs were obvious. God knows the outcome because he is all-knowing but you now have the freedom to do whatever you want. Your actions are not forced.

If life was a test, and we are rewarded based on that test. Would it be fair for god to intervene and remove the evil and sick? Wouldn't that be unfair for the good people? What would be the point of virtue in this life without its coexistence with evil. We appreciate our health when we get sick. We appreciate good people when we meet evil ones. We will appreciate heaven with the existence of hell.

This is really cool, Good luck!

Thank you for pointing that out, fixed!
