    I believe in God. However I would have though that childhood leukaemia, genocide, and babies bombed due to warring states are better reasons to disbelieve in god than a sporting injury.

      And Alzheimer’s. If the ‘Earth’ God exists he is a fraudulent narcissist. If there is a universal God, he is way beyond our comprehension and isn’t the physical God character depicted in all the fairytales of Earth that cause so much war and bloodshed.

        There is absolutely no god. Religiousness is weaponized vanity and stupidity. No one wants to die and we’ll believe anything to make our lives infinite and significant. People truly believe humans are the center of the universe? How basic do my you have to be to believe that? Truly it boggles the mind, and we continually go to war and kill over this horseshit. There’s nothing more destructive than the idea of “god”, and the religions proliferation of ignorance.

      Not the point I know, but there can be no such thing as a perfect world… there would be no good without bad. There would be no smiling happy baby without sad sick baby. There would be no peacetime without wartime. There would be no health without illness. There would be no joy if not for misery.

        That’s objectively incorrect. Babies will smile regardless. You don’t need to make another baby suffer for it to happen. Peace is literally the absence of war, so yes there would be peacetime without war. If there’s no illness there is only health.

        I think you’re mixing up the conceit that we wouldn’t appreciate things as much if not for the bad things or the absence of the food things, but that doesn’t mean the good things depend on the bad things to exist.

      Why would you blame man’s actions on god though? If you believe in god, you know he’s a lot more mad about those things as you and I. But people wanna people and avoid accountability while they’re at it.

        I don’t want to start an argument here, but the general line of reasoning people use is that God can’t be both all good and all powerful, because then he would’ve stopped all those atrocities from happening.

          Well, you could strip all the interesting stuff about human intelligence out of humanity, like a Stepford Wives situation, make everyone perfect and ideal for some vision…

          Or you can give humans agency and free will, let them have their own thoughts, and it leads to both atrocities, innovation, and other amazing things.

          Neither of these scenarios actually proves there is no all good, all seeing, all powerful entity that created the universe, or watches over us, or even created evolution or just snapped us into existence. If it gave us free will, we and we alone are responsible for the atrocities we commit

          I’m only just getting into it all after completely losing faith with humanity. As far as I can tell god is as fed up of men as I was. He’s helped and provided everything to stop these things. Unfortunately we are plagued by free will and an incredible lack of discipline.

              God gave us the first the devil brought the second. Pretty sure god questions himself for that one all the time though; so don’t worry you’re not the only one.
