Plenty of other, more concrete evidence that (the abrahamic) god doesn’t exist. But hey, if that’s what convinces you then kudos.
“Only the good die young” -William Martin Joel
JD Vance decided to send him an email or smt
I got a health scare recently and I’m a asshole apparently. So I’m confused. Why do good people have to suffer?
Im of the opinion that God, as it were, might exist. We’re just not able to understand the longview, so to us, at the moment, it seems incomprehensible.
Holy fuck that question is as deep as a puddle
Quite simple actually. It just wants to meet cooler people sooner.
You’re asking an existential question: why do bad things happen to good people? I would wager that this has been a subject of philosophical debate for as long as humans have existed.
Ultimately, I think it’s the wrong question.
What you’re experiencing is a form of confirmation bias. You expect bad people to live and good people to die, and that expectation is shaped by societal conditioning and the beliefs you’ve been exposed to throughout your life.
In reality, cancer, for example, affects a relatively small percentage of the world’s population at any given time, although that percentage still represents a tremendous number of people.
You’re seeing it affect people in roughly the proportions you’d expect. The problem is that the people you pay attention to tend to be the ones you believe shouldn’t be affected by it, while those you believe should be affected often aren’t.
We tend to perceive these events as unjust because we expect the world to operate according to some inherent sense of fairness. Unfortunately, nature doesn’t make that distinction between good and bad people.
that’s the thing that pushed you to disbelief?
for me it was all the parasites - like botflies and screw worms.
oh and conservatives, and their sacred beliefs and enormous and constant hypocrisy. and their mistresses’ abortions.
well, I guess, ok.
Maybe he developed cancer after briefly meeting JD?
Another reason on the list that I do not believe in God such as God is portrayed in the Bible, Torah, Koran, etc. If there is a God, I don’t think it cares about life on Earth. It may have created the beginning of everything somehow but I don’t think it micromanages what happens on Earth or even cares one way or the other.
There’s no indication that God would be good. In the Bible, David did something bad so God had 10 of his wives raped as punishment. He ordered genocide, specifically including that suckling children were to be killed. He does a lot of bad shit. Maybe he’s real and he’s a Trump supporter.
God could still exist. It just means that either he isn’t benevolent, isn’t all-powerful, isn’t all-knowing, or some combination thereof.
Religion of any ilk is a mental illness.
The world is not fair.
