People say shit like, "Consciousness created you so It could experience Itself". So, Consciousness created billions of animals to be stalked and eaten alive so that It could experience that? And Consciousness created it over and over for billions of years? Fuck Consciousness!

Unironically yes. Every experience, no matter content or context, is of equal value to the divine. All pleasure, pain and inbetween - good and bad. Everything will be experienced in order for the Demiurge to know itself.

billions of years is nothing if consciousness is eternal. Imagine if the many worlds idea is true. Exponentially more suffering if that's the case, if they are all actualized rather than merely possible. Only good solution is freedom, at least freedom would provide a way out.

"Consciousness" is just another name for "God". So, you're back to theological mumbo jumbo.

We perceive things as good or bad but we can't understand how a higher power might see things. Of course, it takes a certain amount of aloof privilege to dismiss the misery and suffering of those countless souls.
