Or what you can do?

I didn't ask you to compare yourself to god, I indicated how an omnipotent being should be able to come up with better solutions than torturing and murdering his own son.

If your god exists, he is a FAILURE, and unworthy of worship, plan and simple.

I do believe this. Raising a family or running a company is uncomfortable at times. Even downright painful. But I do it, and with a smile on my face. Even when I don't feel like it. I don't even know why, which means that it became second nature. This means that something greater than I am has "soaked in" to me, and I am very happy even though I have never worked so hard or been in so much pain before. It seems to me that even "paradise on earth" is a relative thing.

Yep, but you don't claim to walk on water and have unlimited power, do you?
