hear me out.

what if it's actually B and C?

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

C sort of implies B or A. If he causes them then he doesn’t prevent them because either he can’t or he doesn’t want to. It would be kind of weird if he caused a terrible thing and then prevented it before it happened.

It's not that deep:
1- In the case of natural evils: C. God causes them, but they are morally neutral from the spiritual perspective. If what matters is salvation and glory to God it doesn't change anything if you died by tornado or by anything else, and inevitable death might even be a net positive individually and to others (Ind: the person might repent about something, social: seeing the frailness of life leads to less self love, while increasing compassion)
2- In the case of human caused evils: B with an asterisk. Given that He has imposed upon Himself the restriction of respecting free will, He won't stop people from doing evil deeds, even though He wants them to do good and He can make them do it. Why God chooses to do it like this is a mistery and doesn't really matter, but it seems to be because He wants people to freely choose to worship Him.

Pretty sure every pope is a multimillionaire (or at least lives exactly like one) without having to answer this question 🫤

So for the sake of a thought experiment:

in this thought experiment B or C or both is the case:

what is the best course of action?

comply with regulations and hope to get on the good side or suffer the consequences of the alternative

worship doesn't require benevolence. fear keeps people in line just as well.

pretty sure thats the case for many religious people. telling you the god isn't "good" would upset the rules, so why would they

I’m not necessarily a theist, but this overused argument is flawed. It could be that terrible things happen because, for whatever reasons that could be incomprehensible to our teeny human brains, these terrible things happening are necessary to serve a greater good or purpose for the long run.

What that purpose could be, I have no friggen clue. But humanity has near zero understanding of the universe beyond us (I’m talking about the answers to fundamental questions; why are we here? Do we have a purpose for existence? Etc) and to claim that there is 100% nothing existing beyond ourselves is just as ignorant as claiming there is some personalized God directing everything. We have no fucking clue what’s out there, and anything else is the ego talking.

I make my room filthy and dangerous every day. My roommates are getting hurt!

Why doesn't my mom clean it up for me? She certainly could. Does she want me to live in squalor? Perhaps she MAKES the mess!

IDK, maybe mom doesn't exist.
