The default condition of this world is evil maliciousness. The god of this world is personified as Satan. Consider the history of the human species. That history is predominately war, chaos and atrocities. The Bible is a book wherein its god is jealous, vindictive, murderous, and evil toward his creation. At one point he committed mass murder of nearly the entire human species, an act that proved he is not Almighty God. He even selected a murderer to lead his "people" out of bondage. He then killed most off for transgressions in a horrible manner. He demanded blood sacrifice of humans and animals as tribute to himself. When Almighty God sent Jesus Christ to redeem the world, even He who was sinless, was condemned by the highest religious and civil authorities, scourged and murdered as a blood sacrifice to this evil malicious deity. We are told that Jesus Christ's sacrifice and resurrection conquered death and redeemed us all for a life in paradise, which is an admission that this world can not be redeemed, and will always remain a slaughterhouse. A life of peace and plenty exists elsewhere in some spiritual realm. Righteousness, goodness and moral behavior have never triumphed in this world, and never will. History teaches that all we have accomplished is to fashion ever more destructive weapons to kill more efficiently, and produce ideologies with ever more fervent murderous intent, especially under the guise of religion.
If you are sickened by all this, by children murdered in the cause of evil, by criminals, by religions that require mass murder of infidels, then you are one of those with a good moral compass. Having that compass, and wanting to change the world, leaves you only one realization: That to eliminate evil you will have to kill everyone else who practices evil. Thus even righteousness becomes an evil bloodbath. Your only escape is forgiveness and death without committing any act of evil yourself. This is the nature of the universe, existence has a psychology, a consciousness underlying material life, and we are imprisoned by a malevolent spirit. Jesus Christ points to the exit, but you will most likely be martyred if you follow Him. Life itself is the ultimate Catch 22.
