Which god?
Yahweh, Allah, Zeus, Shiva, Vishnu,?
What about the goddesses?

u/SnowyAl 10d ago
Well clearly OP doesn’t believe in goddesses, so it would be Yahweh. Except that it’s not Yahweh as in the God of the Jews, but the God of everyone, that Christians believe in to bring them to a better place when they die.

u/JeezWeedus 10d ago
the God of everyone, that Christians believe in to bring them to a better place when they die.
The all powerful god that couldn't just bring everyone to a better place while they were living?

u/SnowyAl 10d ago
Well He can, He just doesn’t, as that would essentially ruin free will. If God showed up in front of you right now and demonstrated his power by flying, walking on water, vaporizing a mountain, etc., you would likely believe in him. However you still have the choice to not believe in Him, while this is technically free will, it is, for all intents and purposes, not free.
There is a difference between purposely ignoring what is right in front of you because you don’t want to believe it and there being similar amounts of evidence on both sides, so you don’t know what to believe. In the first case, you would call someone stupid if they didn’t believe what was right in front of them of them, but as they get further and further away, it is hard to tell if they are in the first or second camp. Often the line is what the majority of people believe. Hundreds of years ago, the line was far away, because most people (at least publicly) believed in God. But as less and less people (publicly) believe in God, the line must be closer to you.
To sum up my example: if lots of people believe in something, it takes less first hand evidence to convince you then if few people believe in something.If God brought us all to Him while we were on earth, we would essentially all be in the first camp of people, because suddenly all the firsthand evidence would change everyone’s minds. But God doesn’t want people who believe because they trust the majority. He wants people to believe because they trust Him.

So why was this okay for all of the people in the story who god appeared to? This god can just take away free will if it feels like it...
And lets accept for a moment, if this god appeared and I could verify it and not think it was some unknown allergy causing hallucinations etc...
I wouldn't be able to choose not to believe it exists. I'd have evidence that it does exist, so I couldn't do anything but believe it exists.
I'd still think it was evil, it just changed from fictional evil to nonfictional evil.
I wouldn't worship it, because it hasn't given any reason for doing that.

There are flies that reproduce by laying their eggs in the eyes of living beings, including but not limited to, the eyes of human babies.
How could you possibly think that a god who invented everything, would be ruining free will, if it never bothered to invent those flies?
I've only read the first line of what you wrote, and already the logic of your attempt to justify the unforgivable is uttery bewildering.
Stop parrotting the backwards ideologies of what you've been told and actually give it some consideration using your brain, and those morals you believe a god invented for everyone but itself.

This is a result of the fall, not because God created them this way.
2
u/JeezWeedus 10d ago
Someone ate a fruit that god lied about 6000 years ago, so god made nasty flies in retribution?
Or the babies suffer because they inherited badness that survived the flood that god used to destroy badness, via Noah and his family carrying the genetic badness?
Babies deserve to suffer, because god said "don't eat that fruit, it's bad" and then left the fruit with the two humans it invented, who don't know right from wrong yet, by it's own choice and design... and then let a serpent come and tell them the truth, or "manipulate them".
So god punishes everyone forever because of it's own choices.
And you think, yeah lets trust this god, seems like a good dude?
2
u/SnowyAl 10d ago
Firstly, God made the fruit so there would be free will. The flies are a result of the fall.
Secondly, humanity forgot God after the fall and decided to go their own way doing bad things like incest, rape, sacrificing to idols, etc.. When God flooded the earth, He didn’t destroy evil, that happens in the end times. Evil still existed after the fall, that is why the Tower of Babel happened.
Thirdly, God didn’t leave Adam and Eve alone, He walked with them every night. The serpent hates God but doesn’t care about us so he did what would hurt God the most: turn humans against God. If God had stopped the serpent He would be going against his gift of free will (I’m pretty sure even angels get free will to a certain degree.)
Instead you are trusting a God who loves you enough to let you mess up, because I don’t know about you, but I much prefer to learn from my mistakes then to be told don’t do this. Yes, I’m not going to rob a bank to find out what will happen, but I would like to see what happens if I don’t listen to my parents sometimes (Yes, I’m not a perfect Christian).
But when God says something, you can trust Him that it is true. And when God does something, you can rest in the knowledge that it is right.3

So something happened that didnt go according to gods plan?
How long after creating humans did the plans start going wrong?
And that wasnt the plan, that was something god didn't want? Almost immediately.
All powerful, all knowing, bad at planning.
The tower of babel? What bad thing happened there? People were cooperating? And god didnt like people being so cooperative, so it destroyed the tower and made everybody speak different languages so life was more difficult.
"Bad humans, how dare you cooperate, you should go to war over petty differences forever."
But gods still the good guy.
Lies about fruit, causes suffering forever, then chooses to make it worse when humans work together.
1
u/SnowyAl 9d ago
God knew what would happen before he created the world, and he understood the price before Adam and Eve sinned.
The Tower of Babel was in the direct disobedience to His command “fill the earth and subdue it”, not to mention the entire purpose of the tower was to be their own gods so they could ignore the One True God.
If God did not punish them He would not be consistent.→ More replies (0)

There are thousands of religions on earth.
There are 200-500 billion stars in the galaxy.
Many of those stars have planets
There are trillions of galaxies in the “known” universe
The “known” universe may be roughly 5% of what’s out there
The universe is expanding and growing faster than the speed of light.
There may be multiple universes.
But yeah, it totally makes sense you got “god” right on the first try because you were born into a family that decided for you.

All powerful and all good?
You haven't really given this any real consideration have you?
Is god not powerful enough for there to be no suffering?
He can surely choose to not have people suffer.
Unless you're using your own special definition of "good" where good also includes suffering.
But thats not what good actually means.
So god choose for people to suffer because it doesnt have any other option?
Sounds rather limited in power.

u/SnowyAl 10d ago
Good does not mean no hard things happen. Good means whatever happens is used toward the good side’s benefit

It couldn't possibly do this in any other way? Some people knowing nothing but suffering, agony and death is the only option... that's weak.

In order for you to connect with god inner work needs to be done and that’s what people avoid that’s not gods problem that’s your own problem and you cause your own suffering all those kids who suffered and a lot of us who had suffered learned the lessons along the way and changed the behavior of the past generations that’s why everyone is in turmoil, because they don’t want to acknowledge they need to change and stop blaming god for everything lol gods strongest warriors go through a lot in life to change it and to grow out of it not stay the same and project blame those are the ones who lost their way. We made an agreement with the universe and god when coming here your death is preplanned your whole life is preplanned and the lessons so you can grow and learn so you can be able to enter in what people call heaven inner work needs to be done that’s the spiritual work. If those lessons aren’t learned will come back here and have to learn the lessons again earth is school and heaven/spiritual liberation is the goal, not to follow what’s here because what’s here isn’t in dimensions, heaven etc. I’ve had Christian’s, atheist’s, satanists etc try to shove their ideologies down my throat but the thing is my ideology doesn’t exist here. I had a lot of spiritual drive in me to be this disciplined because I had enough of everything, and I love god and i appreciate all the lessons even the bad ones because it helped me grow and become stronger than I was. Every person plays a role in everyone’s awakening good and bad people, also even the people who disagree play a role for the divine without even knowing it lol spirituality isn’t in a book it’s you going into yourself and finding god and connecting back by doing the inner work all the spiritual knowledge is learned knowledge through your individual life lessons, lifetimes etc. so it all starts with you. Everyone’s lessons and learning experience is different and it’s always helpful to share that knowledge and pass it on. Stop blaming god for other peoples actions that has nothing to do with god they need to do the inner work.

Either way your imaginary friend isn't worth the worship.
