Popular atheist says universe is not a work of art like a painting

Same atheist replicates universe and says,

"Do you like my painting? It'a work of art if I do say so myself!"

Thank goodness for subjectivity.

So no reference to some anonymous person making a claim that only you have heard.

Not very convincing of anything.

Reminds me of a quote. Every planet is earth to the people who live on it. The creatures who lived in an artists painting might find it beautiful, and the people who find their world beautiful may imagine that it's an artists painting - but lets run with it.

Suppose that this world was a gods painting? Is that god in a different position than our human artist in this regard? In a word, no. That god could have painted some other painting, and some other god could have painted some other painting. Many earths full of many people all of them convinced that theirs is the most beautiful, and we can assume that their creators, likewise, have an opinion of their own creation and that of others. We could even add in the malcontents, who..viewing their own earth (or granted the ability to view others, even)..... place each on some scale of relative magnificence. Maybe they think theirs is lower on the scale than some other.

The idea of a human being painting a picture and declaring it magnificent is directly equivalent to a god doing the same. Is that a problem?

Must have been Jackson Pollock when drinking and off his meds.

If the world is God's painting, then I must be under the spitball some 6th-grade kid shot at it while on a school field trip.

At work.

The person comparing 'The World' to a painting should come visit Australia.

Fekkin' inspired by Edvard Munch.

Place couldn't kill us with fire storms is now trying to drown us.

Jus' sayin'.

It's worked wonders for rapists and child molesters.

And yet you all want to save it and save yourselves.

[The Grand Nudger]

Which rapists or child molesters has subjectivity worked for? The ones in jail...or are we talking about the ones in dresses shaking rattles at credulous victims?

IDK if angr would be down for saving the world or self - but you'll probably find alot of people who would like to save anything they can, the whole human race if possible

Is that a problem? Would there be something wrong with doing that, or wanting to do it?

Which rapists or child molesters has subjectivity worked for?  The ones in jail...or are we talking about the ones in dresses shaking rattles at credulous victims?

The ones who got away with it which you don't know about and the ones who followed your advice and dressed as priests.
Subjectivity didn't work out too well for your victims.

Is that a problem?  Would there be something wrong with doing that, or wanting to do it?

How can there be right or wrong or any problems if everything is subjective?
