I feel like I'm going crazy from reading all this.
I don't like the thought that I'm god, cause it can't be that way.
I can't have caused all the suffering in the world, that is absurd.
I've always been afraid of going mental, and by reading this it just ************s me sooo much more up.
Please explain this, cause if it's like we're responsible for all the suffering we should just quit on life but we can't do that.
So please save me

VeryConfused,
Obviously you are quite distressed over this since you've made your nickname "VeryConfused." But right now your thoughts are clouded by fear and you are irrational so you cannot take whatever you are thinking and accept it 100%. The mind cannot be trusted completely during times like this since we have the tendency to exaggerate and stress over many ideas.
First, you must calm down. Your head might be buzzing with activity and your heart may be uneasy, but relax. Take a breather otherwise all this stress will have an adverse effect on you.
I personally believe that none of us are God. We have not created the world, we are not the lawmaker, we have limited ability. We are at the mercy of a greater power.
No, you yourself did not cause all the problems in the world. Right now your mind is not thinking logically because you are afraid but just think about this - are you responsible for the death of some random person on the other side of the world? Are you solely responsible for deforestation? There are other people on this earth too and we are all contributing to what is happening.
There is no deviation in law in nature but we do deviate from law which is why we experience negative effects. The world right now is experiencing negative effects because of us. We are doing something wrong, which is becoming evident to us through the physical world.
We all have our own view of reality, but we are not separate from one another. We are all one, a unit. We are and we aren't alone. We are alone in the sense that I cannot experience life the way you experience life, but we can share our life experiences together. We are individuals, but we are not separate. What harms one harms the whole. What helps one helps the whole.
