"God doesn't give us more than we can handle"
#2
RE: "God doesn't give us more than we can handle"
It's a ridiculous and clearly false statement. God gives us diseases which we die of. Many of us die as a baby. Many people commit suicide because they cannot handle what they have been "given".

It's this confirmation bias thing of attributing every good thing to god and explaining away bad things by free will, the devil, and such nonsense.

Even if someone can handle a large amount of suffering, pain, torment etc. what is the point of inflicting it on them? The more you can handle, the more you can get? If god was all powerful and all good, he could accomplish whatever secret plan he has without making anyone have to suffer at all. And he could make it so that we are all happy and appreciate being happy without having to program us so that we appreciate it more after being unhappy.

The biggest question of all is why god doesn't just put people straight into heaven, this perfect place where everyone is happy all the time supposedly. Why force use through this shit of an existence first? There is no good reason other than for his personal amusement. Just because you "create" something, that does not give you the right to do whatever you want to it. Why does he love to watch us suffer to our full capacity first?
