He could make them imaginary to see how the real people react to the apparent misfortunes of others. With a real deity you could be in the "Matrix" living an imaginary life because he could do anything. So if you think that what you are experiencing is actually real then it's best to toss the idea of an all-powerful deity that interacts with you.(May 25, 2018 at 3:41 am)Tizheruk Wrote: To a degree yes but i was talking about something more direct .

God invented the fact that death can happen (and rape, torture, violence, illnesses, natural disasters, etc). That makes him responsible, in my opinion, since he didn't need to do that. (Or if he did, due to some incredibly convenient rule binding God to behave like a cock, then that just opens up way more questions than it answers.) Doings things via nature is just a buffer of responsibility, like me blaming the bat I smack you in the balls with.
