John 3:16 KJV: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The world at large rejected God and now humanity is utterly the wretched slave of Satan. Why are we so stupid?

We are not stupid, but we are sick with the disease of sin. Even the smartest fall, probably even more so. Pray for the world and for those around you and continue to carry on to the end. 
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:13
It's God's fault for putting kindness into us. That's why we didn't kill off all the blasphemers, and that's why they ended up taking over the world with the guidance of Satan.

This statement mischaracterizes both God's nature and the purpose of human kindness. Kindness is not a flaw but a divine virtue, as Scripture teaches that kindness is part of God's character (Titus 3:4-5) and a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). It reflects His grace, not a weakness, allowing evil to flourish. God’s sovereignty over human history, while wickedness may seem to prosper, Christians believe God remains sovereign and allows free will as part of His divine plan (Romans 8:28). The rise of ungodliness, though it may be prevalent, does not indicate Satan’s triumph but a temporary condition within God's ultimate redemptive design. Christ’s example refutes violent purging as Jesus did not instruct His followers to eradicate blasphemers but to love enemies and spread the Gospel (Matthew 5:44, John 18:36). The idea of eliminating opposition is contrary to Christian teachings on grace and redemption. Ultimately, blaming God for human kindness misunderstands its divine purpose. The Christian response to perceived moral decline is not violent purging but faithfulness in spreading truth, enduring hardship, and trusting in God's justice.
