You see a man raping a child.
Do you-
A: Intervene
B: Do nothing
C: Excitedly shout "God is Great!"
God takes option b while demanding that you take option c. Nothing mysterious about that. Guys a dick.
If you had to create life for all living things...what do you do the beings that choose evil? You elimate someone who does evil right away....they don't exist.
So everyone starts doing good out of fear of dissappearing.
Tell me your design and explain exactly how you think God would create the world if God existed type scenario from your paradigm.
Go ahead.
You will say, how am I suppose to know....I am not God...or you will come with things that are problematic I assure you.
God's design is the best design, it doesn't mean the outcome of his algorithym is the best result, because free-will and he reacts.
How do you deal with free-will? Take it away or give it.
The problem is choice. Always has been and always will be.
I think my mental illness is worse than homosexuality, because it gave up the trust of reason, while homosexualtiy just gave up the trust of a more lustful type love and disfigured that, while my madness disfigured foundational reasoning.
I could not have come back to school and do well if I didn't take responsibility for my illness. I tried many times when not taking responsibility to no avail. I know for me excuses and doing away with responsibility doesn't empower me, it destroys me.
So responsibilty to me is an aspect of free-will. It comes with it.
And all this is through a design, and responsibility without an accounter doesn't make sense.
We know God exists. You got it wrong when you assumed we don't, it's proven, get over your error and move on. Take responsibility, regret, and move forward.
