Why should anything need fixing? It's exactly the way God made it,
by your definition of God.

IMO, it's much easier to accept these things as "that's just the way
the world works" instead of "God wants people to get cancer and
AIDS". A random, impartial universe at least somewhat resembles the
human notions of fairness; an all-powerful God who gives children
cancer is a repulsive notion.

That's crap. You just said that humans were dumb in the sense that
they can't tell God's real prophets from the false ones. Yet it was
God who made them dumb, and then punishes them for being exactly the
way that he made them.
BTW, yes, I am always trying to improve myself and live a good life.
I raise my kids to be the same way. Yet it has absolutely nothing to
do with any sort of supernatural beings such as your God; it is
entirely a human characteristic.
