I’d argue the smartest were likely atheists or agnostic and were either quiet about it or got killed over it.

A strong argument to your point: Kissinger dies at 100. Frank Zappa, 52. I think there is no god but can’t rule out a.

Let’s hope so. Also, hope it hurts him constantly.

I dunno. I blame lack of engagement. We have to post content. Engage. I see tons of posts upvoted but a huge lack of OC. If we don’t use the platform, it dies.

To you and @xenoclast@lemmy.world (and everyone else); What do we do about it? How can I fight back?

Yep. Who is still using FB? Not me.

There’s nothing odd about asking for a source. Wtf are you on about?

I read this as 4 world crises, not 4 personal crisis for OP. i.e. Drinking in bed because the world is on fire. But sure, yay, smartphones.

People have it worse than they should all over the world. That kinda seems like the point of the post to me. Should op have posted a meme saying “fuck the whole world because I don’t have it as bad?”

But, by your argument, you do have enough evidence to rule out benevolence, no?

The religious blame the bad things on Satan, not God. Pretty convenient. God gets all of the credit an none of the blame. It’s delusional.

Also, what rational argument suggests there is eternal pain and suffering? Some old Mediterranean folk lore twisted through time, with more Faust and Inferno (Dante) than scripture in the current belief? I don’t see any reason to rationally believe there is eternal pain and suffering.

The simple obvious answer is that there is no God. If there is, I want no part of an afterlife with him.

“God is so moral that he doesn’t need earthly morals” is an absolutely laughable justification. May God strike me dead before I click the “reply” button, if I’m wrong.
