Epicurus riddle.

[Violet]

Natural disasters are not evil in themselves.

Good and evil are subjective attributions made by us regarding things we perceive. Nothing is inherently good or evil.

Death occurs due to our sin, it's a punishment because we all sin.

Death is a punishment now... and one for sin no less? Death is as literal a definition of peace as one can ever find... hardly a punishment, unless one is assuming that they will be a slave to God in heaven, or a slave to their freedom (or torture, depending on how you interpret this ) in hell.

Death occurs because life isn't limitless... that is all. The least "sinful" of men are as easy to kill as sinful baby rapists. Why would death occur due to sin, and not to the limited nature of life? I definitely would not want to live forever... a long time yes... but the end of a story is one of its most important and 'wonderful' parts.

God has a hope that I will do the right thing, if you want to call that a plan.

Are you suggesting that he is not omniscient (doesn't already know how you will turn out), not omnipotent (cannot change how you will turn out however he wants to), and/or not omnibenevolent (actually cares about your pathetic little existence... and the existence of all of the things you have ever eaten)?

If all "God" does is hope... why call 'Him' 'God' at all?

God allows it to rain on the righteous and the unrighteous conversely he also allows the sun to shine on the righteous and unrighteous.

Why should that matter at all? What is 'righteousness' in the first place?

True, God does know the outcome of my life before I am even born. God still has feelings, he is not an emotionless entity. He strongly desires(hopes) that I do the right thing. He still desires it, even if he already knows the outcome.

hope |hōp|
noun
1 a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen

God cannot hope for us not to do things he knows we cannot do.
