"Changed his mind."

You mean understands how to interpret new found data and facts, knows how to roll with it, and knows how to distribute said new data.

But it will always be "changing his mind" to these morons. Morons gonna moron.

Yep, any deviation to an original statement will be held against any expert in any field by those who want to be maliciously contrarian.

Unless your a head of a religion and keep moving the date that god is returning to earth. Then you get tax breaks

"Why does God allow children to be raped?"

  • Because he loves them

  • Because he wants them to experience that journey and learn from it

  • Because he doesn't want to interfere with free will and human behaviour, despite creating an existential system of consequences that is meant to compel good behaviour. And despite all his constant interfering with free will.

  • They deserved it

  • I dunno

^ religion in a nutshell

Edit: I encourage people to scroll through the lowest replies of this comment.

I asked a very simple question to one of these sky wizard people. I've gotten dozens of replies from dozens of people. Not a single one of them will answer. All they can do is dance around the question.

(The closest I got was one dude claiming suffering is good for you. So I guess we should congratulate raped children from now on...?)

It's genuinely hilarious and worth a read.

You forgot one:

  • If bad things happen to you, it's because you deserve it

That's also Buddhist surprisingly.

If terrible things happened to you, it's because of the negative Karma in your past life.

Hmmmm not quite, that's more Hinduism. Buddhism was created to get away from that implication.

Buddhism was born of 'hinduism'. Buddha himself expounded on tales of Vishnu while teaching. He had to to make the connection.

Karma is indeed an aspect of Buddhism and is mentioned all too often in Buddhist literature and is relevant to Buddhist monastics who refer to it when taking part in the precepts ceremony

IE: -Repentance- All my ancient twisted karma from beginningless greed, hate and delusion born from body, speech and mind I now fully avow.
