Here my logic

We presume God created us. The premises are that there weren't any human beings before God created us and God doesn't need humans to survive, then obviously human beings are not a necessity to God's world, so what's the point of creating so much evil and suffering. Surely the all-knowing God must have foreseen what human beings are capable of doing right?

Then the only logical explanation I can think of, if indeed there is a God, is that God must have been bored and just wanted some toys to play with.

As much as I despise terrorism, I have a hard time arguing against this point of view. For instance, under NAZI occupation, the french resistence would be called terrorists by today's standards. The US and Western Europe have been responsible for so much agression, invasion, and atrocities (i'm not gonna name them here, cuz it'll take a book) in the past few centuries around the world, it's really a tough sell to play the innocent victim now.

Take this simple point, why would anybody leave a rich life (bin laden) and devote himself to a life on the run and constantly facing death. Is it fun to be a terrorist? Sure doesn't look like it for all those suicide bombers.

I'm not making excuses, just want to know what would a plausible defense be against this argument.

He preaches forgiveness: "when a man hits you on the cheek, offer him the other cheek too." Those who are evil will be saved as long as they convert before they die, out of fear or not. On the other hand, no matter how good a person is, just because he doesn't believe, God will throw him into hell to burn. Where's the forgiveness? What's with the discrimination? This is pretty messed up, and I'd like some logical explaination.
