That premise is the premise of the christian, islamic, jewish, and all other self appointed omnipotent creating entities.

Well, yeah, those are the gods I hate. I used the term "almighty" as a shorthand for "god that created literally everything." They created everything including non-physical concepts like good and evil. You're basically just describing a Big Bang with a personality, which isn't really in the category of gods I hate. That god just made cool stars and rocks and stuff, it didn't really make everything. Rather, the rocks spontaneously came to life and started suffering without input.

Nothing really deserves that much attention from you.

Reading that comment, the words you chose to express how you view reality, pains me as a human being.

I can't imagine what you have been through in order to be weighed down with such a bleak view of life and the world.
