i am catholic, so i see where you're coming from. god is all pervasive, because he made everything, but it's the result of his great works.  yes i do see god as above this realm. he made it. he is the creator and i am his creation. he loves me and you.  > why would he create a world of suffering? this was a difficult question for me as well. this is what i can tell you. god gave man so much in the ways of gifts. there must be something to balance it out. like the law of thermodynamics. there is only so much good and so much evil and both must exist and be experienced. love, hate. happiness, sadness. life, death. there are plenty of examples of this. it's funny because i think your view kf god is dangerous because it means that man, if he is god, then he too can create. this will destroy us.
