bye troll

you will never be rid of me. you need a being with higher intelligence than you to tell you what is right and what is wrong. you are wrong.

false assumption based upon bias and ignorance.

That's a phrase that should definitely have been expressed when your parents thought it would be a good idea to procreate.

If people are happy they are not missing out on anything.

I disagree. Rather, if people don't realize that their situation could be different, then they aren't missing out on anything. Their situation "just is". IOW, happiness lacks meaning without sadness to compare it to. Hot lacks meaning without cold to compare it to.

Why would God want people to be unhappy?

Why would God want people to be unhappy?

why do you believe that Christianity is all about God creating a utopia without evil?

 

[gfm7175]

Why would a utopian world think about imperfections?

How would a utopian world understand the joy of said utopia without first understanding the pain of dystopia?

Why would they need to?

This is absurd.

A truly omnipotent god could create the reality that people could be perfectly happy,
and an all-loving god who was indeed omnipotent and wanted to create people
would do exactly that...else it would not be all-loving.

It's far more likely that the concept of god was a construct of "early-phase of evolution" humans,
and that a residual effect of that remains in some present-day-humans for reasons we need to examine.

Why would God want people to be unhappy?

So that people are capable of understanding the full joy of happiness?

 

[BidenPresident]

I don't need to have my legs broken to appreciate well functioning legs.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

it's quite obvious that for all the bullshit talk about some people declaring that there is no God, you sure do act like you know everything about it, which is an exceptional display of your ignorance.

They certainly would be if they were created by a perfect god

instead of being what they actually are--the random confluence of sub-atomic particles.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

They certainly would be if they were created by a perfect god

what part of the theology class stated that God wanted a perfect earth?

Does 'delayed gratification' mean anything to you?

No.

What does any of this absurdity have to do with what I just said?
