This realistically unsound biblical notion has been weighing on my mind lately.
I heard the line in a movie, followed by a rather deserving sound of dismissal.
The fact that people are daily broken and brought to their knees in utter despair proves that if any sort of deity could be behind the utter horror we experience on a daily basis, then we are clearly given more than we can handle.
And I do not want to read a retarded Christian retort that the deity was testing, as though a divine being should have any right to test anyone so cruelly. The job of any truly divine being, not because I am of a divine mind but instead of a rather moralistic one, is to ensure the happiness and security of its creation rather than playing silly playground games that derive from pure psychosis.
Any truly divine being does not ensure an imperfect world. Only a human one does. A human world creates an imperfect divinity that loves to protest its perfection; i.e. god.
