Why can't God just eliminate suffering and death altogether, it seems to me that God if he is all powerful could reach maximum goodness without all of the death, pain, and suffering. People know that kids have to eat so if they can't feed them then maybe they shouldn't have them. Even in America where we have the means and ability to feed everyone some pukes get ticked off when needy people get food assistance. We can eliminate a lot of our own suffering if we really wanted to but some people are not interested in doing that. Instead they want an imaginary deity to prevent it in the first place.
Holy crap wyrd

It sounds like common sense at first, but it ignores our overriding biological compulsions while simultaneously presenting thew idea that the poor should not breed as a credible solution to a problem that...frankly..doesn;t have to exist but for the greed that makes those people poor in the first place.
(or, in context of the thread, but for the design that makes us need to consume others and the subsequent apathy of the creator who arranged things in this way.)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm pretty sure if we went back far enough everyone here is the product of poor people screwing .

God and society are the archetypal absentee fathers...their children are starving, and in the face of this both dicks blame the children for their privation. Meanwhile, if poor people stopped fucking, there wouldn;t be anyone to support the lives (or faiths) of the assholes shifting their responsibilities onto those they have harmed.

I'm an all out anti-natalist so I can roll just fine with not giving birth to people.

Once a certain threshold of pain is passed, no amount of pleasure can compensate for it." - David Benetar "If you’re thinking about bringing someone into existence, you’re not just thinking about when they’re young, but also when they’re in their eighties. Parents don’t think about the cancer that will ravage their future child’s body decades after they themselves die. " - David Benetar
so the first life form got to thinking one dreary day and thought =this is all going to be a waste of time and effort and so it killed itself and that was the end of life for all time on the planet Xeroba.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
