To live is to suffer. Perhaps, instead of mindless obedience to Abraham's God, you could look into the Buddhust appreciation of spirituality. It's far deeper and actually contains something of (philosophical) value. In my opinion!

'At school, you will succeed when you understand At life, you will understand when you succeed Happy and sad will come, even if you dont believe; When your eyes stream, than you will understand.' (from Özdemir Asaf, translated by me) So my point is this is just life, all those sufferings, hardships, struggles nothing but natural. Life is not a game, so it doesnt have certain rules and it is never plays fair. Only relief you can find through life are friends that you stand together against the life.
