It's just that the model of divinity as an lawful authority is complete bullshit, and has nothing to do with spirituality

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its clearly because clearly god has realized the best thing ever is isekai so he made earth and made us all isekai MCs. The terrible things that happen just give sus unique back stories when we get isekai'd so we all get to be unique MCs. /s

Their logic would be

C

If something bad happens to someone it’s because they deserved it

“But they were a good person”

They were going to do something terrible

Think about the following:

In the medieval ages, people were popping out 5-15 children on average. Child mortality was extremely high, with roughly 80% of children dying before they were 5 y/o.

Now, what should god do (if they existed)? Let the children life and cause overpopulation, which leads to famine and disaster, or kill a lot of children? There's literally no solution.

That was until contraceptives were found. And interestingly, contraceptives exist at roughly the same time that antibiotics exist, thus preventing both high child-mortality and overpopulation.

I think the Pope and Cardinals would all choose B and then proceed to schpiel about how this life is a trial and he takes each of us at precisely the time of his choosing for good reasons inconceivable to mere mortals bla bla bla

they'd pull out Job. And basicaly say "you're too stupid to understand. to limited. How dare you question god? that's not your job, now get on your hands and knees and clean my shoes with your tongue. Oh and give me your money because I need it more than you and god says you have to. You didn't earn it anyway, it all came from god, too."

hear me out.

what if it's actually B and C?

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month 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.
