Care to expand to make me understand how creating life is sadistic and apathetic?
No argument that what God is doing with life immoral and sadistic but the creation of it seems to me to be a good thing. I am quite pleased that natures created me and she is not sadistic or apathetic.
I didn't necessarily mean that creating life is sadistic and apathetic, but one could interpret the way that life was created was sadistic and apthetic. It seems that a necessity to life is to suffer, and pain is inevtiable. Something I believe an all-loving, all-powerful god would not allow.
My overall point was really that there are two sides to this coin, and that the fact that there is beauty in life, wouldn't necessarily mean that creation was necessarily an act of love. I'm not saying that if a creator was proven to exist that the state of our existence proves that the act of creation was sadistic, it just doesn't prove that it was an act of love either.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
