God's dilemma

[Wise TibetanMonkey, Most Humble Philosopher]

If God is omnipotent, why he allows suffering in the world. If he is not omnipotent, why would I care about him?

Even Pele (the volcano goddess of Hawaii) has more power. And you know what, she's hot!

TibetanMonkey,
I just *luv* your philosophy and your sense of humor.

I don't know if you got the hint that the volcano goddess was hot because she got the lava flowing...

Yes, she's hot!

Having all power, God has the power to allow suffering in the world.

And that makes him... evil!

No different than a tyrant, someone like, say, Fidel Castro.

...there is suffering in the world because all we have is ourselves
and nature which is totally indifferent to the human condition.
Theists have a whole list of phony ass excuses for the absence of
their god...one being "it's a test of faith". How the fuck does that
apply to the millions of innocent children who die in agony from
famine, disease, birth defects and genetic disorders and haven't got
the faintest concept about faith in some obscure god.

Actually we could live much better if they lent a hand in making this a better world. But our very suffering proves their Bible right, so they claim. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Castro is an evil person playing God. We can expect "Heaven" to be a perfect communism, meaning nobody can escape or even dream of opposing the omnipotent God. Well, looking on the bright side, everything will be free and there's no work. Just 8 hour of worshiping the supreme leader every day.

Wise TibetanMonkey seems disappointed. 'Why isn't the world as I would have it be?' Because, dear friend, you did not create the world. You are not even omniscient. Go sit in the sun and drink your tea. Enjoy the sun, enjoy the tea.

Why the people from Africa escape to Italy and why can't Africa be a little happy. It takes simple things like clean water and bicycles. You must fight corruption, of course.

One question: Will the people in Heaven want to escape to Hell? It sounds like communism and capitalism. How can God enforce perfect Heaven without people wanting to die?


I'll think about it while sipping my tea.

your Bible again .

God is communist. Everybody according to his needs.

They'll give you free bread and sandals. Everybody naked.

but no fruit?

Of course, the fruit will be hanging there. That will always be the ultimate temptation.
