That's absurd. That would me that jogging and lifting weights are morally reprehensible.
We can tolerate some discomfort temporarily and voluntarily if it also contains some benefit as a payoff. I'm just explaining to you My hypothesis of how humans arrived at an almost universal moral sensibility. If you're going to treat every statement as an absolute devoid of context, this conversation is going to go nowhere fast.

Why would it even have to "justify its own existence"? It's here, isn't it?I'm sorry, Soldat, but I just don't see the appeal of answering one question with an even more puzzling one. Tossing a god into the mix just adds more questions, including (but not limited to) "Where did the god come from? "Why did it decide to create a universe, and why this particular layout?" "If matter and energy didn't already exist, where did the god get the energy to create?"
