Cheers Cinjin & respect. Our beliefs seem similar; it'd be good to flash that out some time Wink


(April 21, 2011 at 6:59 pm)FaithNoMore Wrote: Why couldn't god foresee this suffering and come up with a different plan? The way you make it sound is that there are physical laws that even god must abide by. If he is god, he could just change the laws. If god is capable of stopping the suffering but doesn't then he is responsible. I know that some people believe that suffering is god's way of testing and bringing about enlightenment, but then why the varying degrees of suffering? Why would god test some more than others?
God doesn't have to follow those laws. God arranged it that way and sits directing it like the pilot flying Moya in Farscape. God could have physically constructed another cosmos with no suffering. All we know is that this isn't it.

Suffering does lead to empathy; perspective. The natural laws are indiscriminate. It's what makes our world go around.
