Theology Question

[BidenPresident]

I don't see theodicy as some massively huge metaphysical problem.

Humans have free will to choose righteousness or depravity

Most bad things that happen are a consequence free will. The only reason earthquakes are deadly is because humans have chosen to overpopulate and live in crowded cities. Most cancers are a result of us choosing to introduce synthetic chemicals and toxins into the environment. Death by flood is a consequence of choosing to live in flood plains.

A deity forcing us to be happy and secure requires taking away free will. And I am not sure if forced happiness is really something that even counts as happiness. Happiness is a state of euphoria, it doesn't say anything especially significant about the meaning and purpose of existence. Humans, almost uniquely among animals, seemed designed with a faculty for perfectibility, the desire and ability to improve one's condition

Why do you believe God is too powerless to make a world where people are happy?

 

[BidenPresident]

Agreed. OTOH, my operating theory is that BP is a single, white female under 35 and probably under 30 with little to no college. She's still working things out for herself.

Banning you from all my threads. Sick of your shit. Keeping you on ignore.

Didn't say that

Anyway, which god?

 

[BidenPresident]

Didn't say that

Do you know what you said? Your views are very standard Christian but you think you are profound and original.

 

[BidenPresident]

Telepathic communication sounds as implausible to me as Jesus walking on water.

Your ignorance, however, is very plausible.

 

[BidenPresident]

Didn't say that

Anyway, which god?

The one you talk about everyday here. You're not profound or original.

 

[Cypress]

The one you talk about everyday here. You're not profound or original.

Did you forget you were the one who started this thread demanding answers to questions about God, and then got angry when people gave you answers?

 

[Cypress]

Your ignorance, however, is very plausible.

Your mocking religious Superstition, while claiming to have powers of telepathic communication is almost worthy of an Onion article

No anger. Are you that asshole Doc Dutch?

Never talked about telepathy you lying piece of shit.

 

[Cypress]

Never talked about telepathy you lying piece of shit.

You told DU you have telepathic communication with someone

 

[BidenPresident]

You told DU you have telepathic communication with someone

Did not say that, you lying asshole. And that jerkoff is on ignore and will be banned.

 

[Cypress]

I don't know what magic is. Nor ESP.

But I have communicated with a friend without aid of a telephone and solely through mind.

That's about as magical as anything I read in the New Testament, and way more magical and bizarre than anything I read in the Anelects or Dao de jing

 

[BidenPresident]

That's about as magical as anything I read in the New Testament, and way more out of left field than anything I read in the Anelects or Dao de jing

You are a stupid asshole.
