"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" -Epicurus We all know God doesn't actually exist, but even if he does, then he would just be A). Inept, B). Indifferent, or C). A sadistic bastard who loves watching his creation suffer. In which case, you have absolutely no reason to be getting on your knees and praying to this bastard. He wouldn't deserve your worship. Again, if he actually exists but we know he doesn't. Christians normally play the 'free will' card to overcome this. Meaning God created the world and created us without flaws, but we exercised our own free will to sin. But it would be impossible for free will to exist or be exercised in the way that would be required, because we do not choose our characteristics, our parents, our genes, our biases and proclivities, and we cannot choose which thoughts to think before we think them. This is why I would say that I know for a fact that the Christian conception of God does not exist. You said that well. It reminded me of the psychological theory of "hard determinism." It's been many years since I read about it. I had first heard of it from an electronic band called, "Zia" the singer is into psycology and space. Her parents are mathematicians. I remember a related youtube video maped out a square/box diagram that showed the process of what effects decision making, and the last point being the arrival of an answer as to what path to take. |
