Never understood that. If God made you sick and it was part of his plan to cure you, then what was the point of making you sick in the first place!?

Just to fuck with you apparently.

Marcus Cole in Babylon 5 had a line that stuck with me:

I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

That’s one of my favorite quotes, so thanks for reminding me. Also, I may have to watch some B5 this weekend.

Smh, that's because he needed to test you, obviously. Why did an all-knowing god need to test you? Uhh... stop thinking about it and just fear him already.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, you still experienced pain whilst you were sick, so maybe to punish you. Not that I believe in god at all, just what someone might say.

[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah I get what you mean. I hear that a lot too.

But remember God has a plan. So does he plan for me to commit sin and thus his punishment is in itself planned, which just seems mean and unnecessary... Or did I go against his plan when I sinned and now has to punish me, and if that is the case he seems quite fallible.

So god is either mean or fallible, which to me seems like a god not worth worshipping.

I am probably just overthinking this and need sleep.

I don't think you're overthinking it, if an all powerful and all knowing god exists, I don't see how it could be good. And I certainly wouldn't want to worship it.
