But some animals living far from humans, il forest and oceans, some we never pay attention to... They too, suffer some sicknesses and the too early lost of their kids. Some get eaten slowly from the inside by parasites, some who did no sin die in some long and painfull cancer…

How does an almighty and perfectly good god does not just allow it, but decided to create this like that, checked it, and found that it is good?

Would the world be worse if innocent animal kids (whose are given no free will) could die with less pain?

Don’t know why so many children in developing countries need to be tested so much. That QA department has warped priorities.

Imagine murdering a family member of someone's and claiming you're just testing them.

That's God in their situational view of things.

"if you're a dumbass and you know it, clap your hands"

suddenly, rolling thunder

All-powerful, all-seeing and loving. 1 and 2 can't be true for someone who dropped the ball this bad

Tracks with the whole “god made us like him” premise. That just means god is an idiot about half the time. Also explains the cruelty, capriciousness, manipulation, uncaring, etc. with hypothetical random acts of kindness. It also means any potential heaven is going to be a complete crapshoot, you have no idea what fit of pique god will have built heaven in.

Either way, sounds like god is a real dumpster fire and has left humans to stew in their own as well.

This perfectly lines up with a series called Miracle Workers and in it Steve Buscemi is God and he's an absolute fuck up.

Gods jerking off to the sin he knew you were going to commit, did nothing to prevent, and will now make you burn over.

God created you just to make you suffer.

Omniscient and omnipotent are mutually exclusive, as knowing what will happen means the future is locked in.

But if we’re “made in His image,” wouldn’t benevolence be a question of mood? The reality is that Father is in Heaven, therefore, he has poor awareness of the maladies of the flesh so he needed a meat thermometer (his boy)?

Cathars: yes

Just accepting many gods rather than just one; each with their own power and personalities... like in old paganisms... it is far more convincing to me. None of the producted texts are absolute truth, just a poetic view according to the dream given by the servant of one of the gods: of course it is not exact, so proving it wrong brings nothing... Responsabilities are diluted, and if you are more a fan of the god A, you can accuse the god B td oe responsible of most bad things…

That said, the original version of the monotheists god was not claiming to be the only one existing, he was requesting to be the only one they pray for and honor. A bit as it was the minor "god" of jealousy of a large pantheon…

ever tried to talk to a christian about how an omniscient god clearly obviates any concept of free will? they really don't like that.

Its kinda hard for the creator of the universe to not be all powerful though. The other two are much more maliable.

So we're really just making this shit up.

You're not omniscient or omnipotent in the ant farm - you have a very limited view and very limited powers. "Doesn't care" does not mesh with god being all-loving, which is the 3rd part of the standard bs.

It’s easy to say gods don’t exist, but, we really don’t know what’s out there in the stars.

It's easy to say "until someone proves anything at all, which seems like a fair thing to request, you don't need to act as if you believe it", and also true. While it can't be conclusively disproven that maybe some god is lurking around out there, earthly religion makes testable, falsifiable claims all the time. Which are then tested, and falsified

Dropping in food and burning the whole thing down are pretty powerful, but not ALL powerful. These are things that any of us could do for/to each other.

Also, none of us really know what's happening in that ant farm. God supposedly knows all of our names and relationships to others and sees every single thing we do on a very granular level.

If your claim is that God is just an entity looking down at us and blindly fucking around with the environment, that may be possible, but there's no more reason to worship that being than the weather itself.
