But nobody ever talks about how disappointing gods are.
Bitch he created me, shoulda done a better job
If god exists then he is a disappointment to me. Bro “loves us” and all of that, but he won’t do anything when
- people are dying in wars
- companies are exploiting people for profit, especially in developing countries
- north korea exists
- his “followers” are spreading hate against [insert minority here] in his name
- etc., you get the point
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god?
God’s good wouldn’t be our good. “Good” cannot exist without a defined point of view. Even if God was awesome, he’d still have his own agenda and point of view. It might be good from many perspectives for no one to die or exploit others, but most people think harming those weaker than themselves for their own benefit is good. Capitalism and imperialism are good if you want to exploit others for selfish gain.
God would only be good if they were subservient to humanity rather than our “lord.” No leader deserves respect beyond what we choose to give them based on how well they serve our interests.
