The Abrahamic Religions make No Sense

I don't really understand why people find it so hard to accept the fact that god can allow humanity to make their own choice, and even though he knows the outcome of those choices he chooses not to interfere.

I mean yes it would seem harsh if god just sent us down to earth and just expected us to do good by ourselves. But god has given us guidance in the form of the books and prophets. Now its just the simple idea of doing out best in living a good life and getting a good outcome. And above all we have intelligence to see in general to recognise what is bad and what is good.

Underlined: If he chooses not to interfere, then why do people pray for his guidance/aid?

Bolded: Not everyone does. Some people live their entire lives isolated from Abrahamic religions.

 

And he doesn't expect us to do good, he knows exactly what we will do.

Underlined: Interference referred to our ability to choose, not just god leaving everything to unfold by itself. God still regulates this universe with the laws of physics and what have you. If you pray for guidance/aid sincerely then you get it, if you don't then you don't for the most part. There are probably many more factors regulating who god chooses to assist because we can't really know the mindset of every person but God does.

Bolded: Again if someone was never exposed to the truth, then their judgement will be made accordingly.

I think your question is more along the lines of why did god choose to give us free will when he could have just not given us it and we would have obliged with what god wanted rather than doing evil. I can't really answer that question unfortunately because I don't understand the mindset of an all powerful being. No one does. What I do understand is that god has given us guidance towards the right path and has promised to judge each of us accordingly with respect to even the minutest detail of our actions and circumstances that we were under. With that in mind we should all try to do our best in upholding what is good and rejecting that which is bad. If we do trip up somewhere, then believe that God is also the most forgiving and merciful and not lose hope.
