But what about the story of Jesus? Jesus and the religious authorities of His time, were in a state of discord between each other.
Assuming for the moment that the Jesus story is factual (it isn’t), what ‘greater good’ was achieved by it? We’re always being told that Jesus died for our sins. If that’s so, he could have written a manifesto and thrown himself under the next passing oxcart - the results would have been the same.
So, if God created this discord, he didn’t manage to achieve any greater good by doing so, and we’re left with the conclusion that God creates discord for its own sake. That’s kinda nutty. You should expect better from your Supreme Being.
