Why argue in bad faith? Whether or not I spend every waking moment of my life preventing child abuse, I would still do more than god has when it comes to a ratio of how much impact I have v.s. how much impact I could have. My life is finite. The lives of deities are not.
I can only prevent one lifetimes worth of child abuse at most. God can stop child abuse from happening. And from that alone, I am fundamentally doing more to prevent child abuse per second than any god is.
And if you really want to go down that argument, there's only so much I can do. But when it happens right in front of me, I step in. I donate to charitable causes to can make much more of a difference that I could alone, converting wealth from my labor into action. But fundamentally, I also need rest and relaxation. I am only human.
But gods don't have such limitation. And yet, here we are.
Literally it just boils down to: If given the option to prevent child abuse from ever happening by simply pushing a button, I would smack the button in an instant. Gods can't even do that.
They are showing kindness and understanding and openness and giving you the benefit of the doubt right now.
Meanwhile, you scramble and grasp for words that you imagine might somehow hurt.
You're the only one who looks unnerved. You're clearly bothered by the calm, compassionate, composure that none of your provocations can crack.
Ephemeral Sun hasn't stooped to your level once.
Well you are blaming them for child abuse/assault.
I'd be pissed if I was him too.
Your sad attempt at an ad hominem proves that you ran out of arguments, not that you had any to begin with.
What the fuck? You're blaming them for ca happening. What kind of weirdo wouldn't be mad about that
