It is flawed, but you think of a better term for it? Well, I take that back, you are not me so you don't know the actual depth of the feeling I have about the situation, so I guess I would have to come up with that term myself...
I have already thought about the fact that humans cannot grasp things on an omnidimensional level, but even still, I cannot see any merits to anything about us in any dimension we can currently understand. We are made to advance exponentially fast, then tear ourselves down and start over seemingly from scratch every few thousand years, leading to an endless cycle of wasted time and zero learning from past mistakes. "Testing" us for this long is no longer testing, it is torturing us without reason. If god is indeed omnipotent, that means it would fully understand how we feel at a level based on our own viewpoints, which means that god is knowingly putting us through endless hardship. When I was younger, I simply thought god created the universe and, like all great artists, left and started a new one, but the more I look at historical trends, the more I see that god is a sadistic beast more akin to a demon, and has in fact been here the whole time directly influencing us every step of the way down a path of endless violence and corruption. Perhaps this is not true and we were simply designed to be able to sustain this behavior even without direct influence, but that doesn't change the fact that we were designed this way specifically for the reason of torturing ourselves for gods own amusement.
