    But after considering the viewpoints of many rational persons, and analysing my self that, look, if God was there, he would have prevented some of the most painful and inhumane conditions which some people do suffer, but no!

In the eyes of a benevolent God, no?

After the golden calf in the Torah, God commanded Levi's to slay their kin.

Even those who are "Children of the Book" according to Islam ended up in painful and inhumane conditions to this day at the hands of Muslim rulers (unfortunately, in a worse light modern day); those who weren't, worse so. Contrary, we can look to Akbar's reign in India, but that's a different matter.

    My personal opinion is all moral values in religions are worth abiding, and at least, the name of God is necessary to enforce conformity to those values.

Ultimately, I guess I'm teasing your brain with regard to one's own definition of who, what and why is God, but with this I couldn't agree more.
