Ha! Yep, it's a clusterfuck with no purpose and even God doesn't really want to deal with it. Sounds about right to me!

Then what are you? Are you not part of the divine? Do you not have your own creative power? Maybe you have some different idea of what God supposedly is?

I was half-joking, but in all seriousness: I don't want to stoop to calling that which actually exists "God." That which actually exists is simply itself. What the thing called "I" is, is a (smallish) segment of that which actually exists. It isn't God, it isn't me, it isn't you. You, me, and God, are ideas.
Don't get me wrong, in many ways I'm sympathetic to the notion of God, but I don't believe it is rigorous enough to serve as an appropriate label for "our true selves," or however else you would like to say it. I do like to use God as a metaphor, though.
For example, I have described psychedelic experience as "probing the mind of God." I feel that psychedelics (can) cast the mind far away from "you," and set it tumbling or sailing through "the mind of God," IE the totality of all the possible ways that a mind could be, in principle, irrespective of ego or personality. During your trip, your mind takes some small path through this infinite space of possible mindstates.
But that's just poetics. It's not a rigorous definition of reality, and I don't believe there is any such "thing" as the mind of God.
