If he's not going to save the children, at least God can lift a finger and do the forgiving of all the evil actors for their never-ending tidal wave of hideous, unspeakable evil. That's his schtick. As for us, so sorry but we're just a little bit busy down here trying to survive.
Life is hard. Life is suffering. We are here to suffer. And to fail. That is how we learn and progress. No one ever became strong from taking the easy path. Life is the opposite of fair. The guy who did no evil suffered the most - its opposite of what you would think.
I’m not one to say this though, as I have suffered relatively little compared to many, many people. I recognize that I’m lucky, or something. I am an ignorant retard. But this much I know: by voluntarily accepting and bearing our suffering, we overcome it - we transcend it. The goal is to be strong, not safe. That is half the problem with these fear-mongers (COVID, gun control). They want to be safe instead of strong. Being strong is hard.
It's like we're at the gym, the bad guys are our gym equipment, and God is our spotter and trainer.
Gee thanks God, for going to all the trouble to create me TO SUFFER. I'll pass, if that's the deal. Who needs it?
This makes him sound like a sick sadistic bastard, creating sentient beings just to ensure they suffer. One of my least favorite things about organized religion (not faith) is this image of God as an irascible, petty, petulant, jealous, enraged ogre, easily angered and impossible to fully please, because he...made us all sinners.
Yuck! No thanks. Pass.
I would feel the same about the "irascible, petty, petulant, jealous, enraged ogre, easily angered and impossible to fully please" God.
That is not how I see God, nor is it how my (organized) faith sees God. Imagine a father who's trying to make us strong so that we can reach our full potential. Maybe He seems like a drill sergeant sometimes, but the helicopter parent who saves their children from everything is NOT doing them any favors - and their children will wilt when they encounter any real challenge. I've seen and met these kinds of people - they are old infants. They are adult parasites. God is not in the business of creating parasites.
God is not "all" powerful - there are some things He cannot do. He will not remove agency, nor will He remove natural consequences. This is our 'grow up to leave the next' experience. 99% of 'happiness' or 'joy' is a choice.
Don't believe anything I say. Do your own exploration. Just sharing my perspective. I wish you the best fren.
First time I've ever seen or heard anyone utter this statement. And I'm six decades on this rock. Thinking outside the box—I like it!
But I thought it was postulated as part of one's acceptance of the deity's existence that an entity capable of creating an infinite number of universes from literally nothing...didn't have a list of things he CAN'T do. Almost seems oxymoronic if you think about it; maybe that's part of the design.
But I knew all about the long list of stuff he WON'T do.
