Is God bothered by human and animal suffering?
Or is God indifferent to it?

God isn't bothered by it. He sees the "big picture" and we don't.
Oh, except Jesus. Jesus felt all our pain and suffering. He cares.

If God dislikes sin, how does Jesus' suffering wipe away sin unless God likes suffering?

God loves suffering. He wants you to live this life suffering as a prude while you watch all the wicked people have fun and enjoy life. Then in the afterlife all the wicked people who enjoyed this life will suffer for eternity while God and the prudes look on and say, "I told you so".
But really, how could eternity in a heaven full of prudes be anything but more suffering?

It's like a riddle. HF loves suffering....Jesus hates it. Opposition in all things? LOL yeah, I dunno.

Funny, I thought it was good v evil that was opposition in all things, not the father v the son.just me wrote:It's like a riddle. HF loves suffering....Jesus hates it. Opposition in all things? LOL yeah, I dunno.

You have a lot of explaining to do before anyone can address your question. Assuming you are serious, which I doubt.

Well. You know. We murder millions of His creations on a daily basis in a vile and ruthless manner, creatures who can feel pain and fear, but, you know... We need their flesh for hamburgers.
God totally hooked us up.
Though He screwed them over. *cringe*

Hello, Hoops.
Of course I'm serious.
Following your mindset God created animals who can feel pain, suffering, and fear to be slaughtered by His most beloved creation... Man.
Are you serious?
