Is this what you would think a god would be good for? To intervene every time something goes wrong with life? Your existence is not enough?
I'm currently dealing with someone who is suffering. If a god existed i would never blame him/her/it for their suffering. Their existence is a great blessing despite the pain they're enduring. I would feel it would be irresponsible of me to start looking for someone to blame for everything that goes wrong in this world.
Yes. A god would be good for that. If a god existed, no, an existence full of suffering would not be enough. If a god existed, I most certainly would point my finger at it. I deal with people suffering every day. It's my job. Lol funny. I help people for a living. I help them find shelter. I help feed them. I help them catch their abusers. I no longer do the counseling part (because I have suffered myself and it's hard), but I make sure they get the counseling they need. I hope I can help their existence be a tiny bit smoother. I'm just human, though. If I had powers, and I did shit about it, I'd expect fingers pointed at me.
I hang out with nerds too much, so: "With great power comes great responsibility."
But if people wanna worship for free, that's on them. Lol I'll just agree to disagree, too.
