But of course, suffering does not always make people stronger. Babies are born with AIDS and die a horrific death while their parents go through hell. If this is supposed to achieve something, it's about the most twisted way of doing it.
If I was God, I'd let everyone be happy all the time and there would be no suffering. As a bonus, I'd require nothing in return, no worshipping or anything. I wouldn't make diseases and disasters and kill babies and watch as people murder and rape each other. I'd make people only think about and be capable of good things. Free will to be good and to be happy. No raping in my world. And I'd make it so people can be as happy as they want without the need to suffer first, that is god's sick rule, and I'd abolish it. People can have whatever they want all the time. All the animals would be free to be happy and never be hurt.
Fuck the God of the bible, he is an evil shit. If he's omnipotent, then he's responsible for allowing every second of suffering to every living creature. And if it's supposed to be some sort of punishment, he's even more sick. I'll bite down hard on his ball bag, I'll stick a spiked bat up his rectum. How dare he punish innocent animals and children for what other people have done. He's lucky he's imaginary, because I would so own his arse if he showed up. I know like loads of 10 hit combos from tekken, he's dead meat if he comes round here.
I guess I'm just way nicer than God.
Okay. If that's the way you wish to view life, go ahead. It just seems like a lousy way to live. We're just here on this rock by accident, dealing with all kinds of suffering and no way to change it--just victims of circumstance, trying to have science find another way for us to avoid the next disease or disaster. How can you live with any joy or have any real hope or peace in life?
