[..I agree with most of your post, hosepipe, except the part that God “tests us.” ]

Human life is a Maze.. a test.. Failure is Draconian, success is Utopian..
Could even be a contest.. or better a qualification for some future Universal Authority over a "few or many things".. I like qualification better.. but test works.. Jesus implied many of these things.. If his metaphors can be decrypted its not a secret....

The parable of the talents comes to mind...
