It doesn't mean that nothing bad will ever happen or that it will all be roses. But I don't think any truly serious believer will argue that.

I recall some meme that got big which said something to the effect of "each day we move further and further from God's love" and there is truth to it.

So in essence, you have made a straw man argument that I'd expect more from Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men!!

the article in OP is about four kids killed by their mother and grandmother who never had the chance to "live in the spirit of god" or to choose anything really. so the OP article undermines your question

If you can't understand what I said, I dunno what to say.

I'll just re-say my piece: the more you live in the Spirit of God - and the more you are truly surrounded by people who genuinely do the same - the better your life is. That does not preclude the existence of people who choose to do otherwise.

Do you think those two people who did that are going to be better off for it? Or will they suffer for the rest of their lives in untold ways. Does anything about their actions suggest they were trying to live in the Spirit of God?

They made a sick choice using their free will to do something horrific. You are trying to use a "why do bad things happen to good (or innocent) people" example to argue a point that (effectively) no one on here will make.

also see wonderful stuff like this which must be the product of a loving god!

Slave-making ants. As mentioned, certain ant species raid neighboring colonies, seize larvae, and carry them back to their own nests. The captured ants emerge and spend their lives working for the conquering colony - gathering food, caring for brood, and maintaining the nest. Some slave-making species become so dependent on this practice that they cannot survive without enslaving other ants to perform basic labor.

The ichneumon wasp. Darwin famously singled out parasitic wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. The female injects her eggs into a living caterpillar or other host. The larvae hatch inside the host’s body and slowly consume it from within, deliberately avoiding vital organs until late in development so that the host remains alive as long as possible.

Hymenoptera - Ichneumonidae

Parasitic wasps more generally. Across many wasp families, similar strategies appear. Eggs are laid inside or on other insects; the emerging larvae eat their host alive. Sometimes the parasite even manipulates the host’s behavior, turning it into a living bodyguard or food source for the developing young.

Megarhyssa macrurus (Ichneumonidae), a parasitoid, ovipositing into its host through the wood of a tree.

Brood parasites like the cuckoo. The common cuckoo lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. When the cuckoo chick hatches, it instinctively pushes the host’s eggs or chicks out of the nest, ensuring that the foster parents devote all their energy to feeding the intruder. The adoptive parents raise the parasite while their own offspring die. The pejorative term cuckold or cuck, used to reference men raising the offspring of other men, comes from the cuckoo.

Hyena scavenging and predation. Spotted hyenas often begin eating prey before it has fully died. Their social structure is rigidly hierarchical, dominated by powerful matriarchal lineages, and competition within clans can be brutal.

Chimpanzee warfare. Long-term observations of wild chimpanzees reveal coordinated raids between neighboring groups. Patrols cross territorial boundaries, isolate individuals, and kill them, sometimes gradually dismantling rival groups through repeated attacks. Victorious groups may absorb the territory of the defeated one.

Cat parasitism (Toxoplasma). The parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects rodents and alters their behavior, reducing their fear of cats. This manipulation makes the rodents more likely to be eaten, allowing the parasite to reproduce inside the cat’s digestive system.

Cordyceps fungi. Certain fungi infect insects and gradually take control of their nervous systems. The infected insect climbs to a high location, clamps down, and dies as the fungus erupts from its body and releases spores to infect others.
