Theology Question

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

... because you've seen other people who do not have well functioning legs, thus you better appreciate your own well functioning legs. Having your own well functioning legs taken away from you would even further expand that feeling though.

 

[gfm7175]

No.

Figured as much.

So, God wants us to suffer?

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

You specifically mused as to whether mere humans can or cannot understand the pure joy of perfect happiness.

I reasonably responded that they could certainly do that
if they'd been created by an omnipotent, all-loving god.

The very fact that we're considering the question
is pretty much proof that such was not our origin.

Why ask a question if you don't want an answer? Anyway, what did it have to do with the topic of the thread?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

If God is all powerful, why can God not make everyone happy? If God created the entire universe, why not create a utopia?

If God cannot make everyone happy, God is not all powerful.
If God can make everyone happy and does not, God is cruel and petty.

Solution, God is not all powerful and cannot make everyone happy.

Even God has limits to power.

is it God's fault if you've chosen to be unhappy?......

 

[BidenPresident]

is it God's fault if you've chosen to be unhappy?......

Amazing. You are always an asshole.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

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.

you are making him unhappy and he blames God......unless you are God you've proved him wrong......

You are an idiot. Happiness does not exist if there is no unhappiness.

 

[BidenPresident]

You are an idiot. Happiness does not exist if there is no unhappiness.

Sober up, boozey.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

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

we need empirical evidence......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Amazing. You are always an asshole.

and you are always unhappy......

 

[BidenPresident]

and you are always unhappy......

I am fine. You are a total asshole.

 

[Celticguy]

false assumption based upon bias and ignorance.

Do you inarticulate trolls have a special language you all understand?!

So, God wants us to suffer?

No, but he DOES permit it from time to time. You don't see any good that can come out of periodic suffering?

 

[BidenPresident]

I don't see why an all powerful God wants people to suffer.

I wanted an answer and I got the answer that I was expecting.

Can any good come from periodic suffering?

 

[BidenPresident]

Can any good come from periodic suffering?
