I have questions for Prime Creator, myself. Upon contemplation, on the question of what You would do if you were The One...
The idea of magic (i.e. things we don't understand yet, along with some forever mysteries) coming into play fires the imagination. Does the waving of a magic wand heal one little ill at a time? Primarily because a population such as ours would be best served by not blasting everything we've ever known to smithereens, letting the broken pieces try to reform themselves into a cohesive unit again.
Even God has limits, and there are so many moving parts to this Earthly unfolding that right now, our job is literally to hold the highest and best timeline for all of Humanity...for every form of life this gorgeous planet supports. We have to find ways to keep our thoughts positive and on Love, and what we want for our world.
It's a powerful antidote we have that may be quite underused. Find ways to be happy and at peace inside...
The limits of logistics and practicality, no? Do you reckon it would be Divine for God to just make everything nice for everybody in all of creation? What would you do if you were God?
But it's a sick joke to put people on this plane to suffer untold cruelty and never even let their voices be heard. How long have people been born, sold to slavery only to die miserably and we the people never knowing it happened. Did those people deserve to "live" like that? Manmade religion obfuscates what the right thing to do should be. Founding fathers stood up, became martyrs and fought for freedom. But now we're supposed to turn our cheek? When our people are being hurt, tortured, and dying? Trust the plan, God is on our side, ncswic! Right?
In the first testament, God gave the jews all these rules to follow cause they're fuck ups. He killed many of them to scare them into following these rules. Then Jesus comes to the scene to save man, preaching love and teaching us how to behave as Christians, contradicting some of the old rules, and God, his father, sends him to be murdered?????
I know I sound like a doomer, but my soul is utterly crushed by everything going on. Been awake since 2000s. Worked my ass off to be independent only to see it all crumble because of COVID. Live righteously and suffer greatly for it. What a Christian life. Meanwhile hunter biden can fuck prostitutes en masse on OUR DIME, be a druggie and still stroll up to the WH lawn in a fine silk suit with his 3rd child from his third baby mama.
So now, the God that is all powerful is saying that we have to behave a certain way to get into heaven. This certain way has been hidden from the population for probably millenia. And we're supposed to WANT to go to heaven, to be with this all powerful God in eternity, the one who sent his son to die terribly, who let all these people suffer on earth? Really? That's the pitch?
That's some munchausen by proxy shit right there. Or some sadistic 11 year old fucking shit up in the simulation.
I like your response a lot, ‘why is our existence not a paradise?’ essentially, right? Limits exist as humanity has discovered in math, y=1/x as x approaches infinity, y approaches 0, but never reaches there, as that function is still 1 fraction of whatever x is.
Limits may exist for God too, operating by limits that God put in place to achieve balance in the universe. There are divine reasons we are probably never meant to understand or be able to comprehend, and I’m personally fine with that. It’s fun to think about philosophically, but not something I believe I or anyone else on this earth will ever know.
If we figure that out, maybe it will all make sense.
Can god or 'the creator' create a stone to big to lift? Sure. It's turtles all the way down. Can that unmoved move be moved by an irresistible force? Would we know?
Who or what observes? I think that is the wrong question. As buddha would say, what is 'observing'?

God has no limits.
You might be thinking of certain desert deities. Many people refer to them as "God," but they are not.

I agree, God is all powerful.
But it's a sick joke to put people on this plane to suffer untold cruelty and never even let their voices be heard.

He’s already lost. Need to pray for them to see the light
See answer above (or wherever it shows up). What would you do if you were God?
