  • I don’t understand how anyone can say a statement as heartless as “humans are cancer”, but I shouldn’t be surprised because it’s within our nature to oversimplify, categorize, and put good and evil label on things. But the truth is that you can’t put a label on humans because we are too diverse for that. For as cruel and heartless humans can be, we can also be kind and forgiving. There are millions who dedicated their lives in helping others, and millions of forest rangers defending what you label as good. You know that life has existed on earth for 3 billion years, so what good did it do exactly? Creatures born and died one after the other and what good did they ever do? Also life wasn’t always stable on earth, there where 5 mass extincttions, and 5 ice ages long before we industrialized. It’s been a few hundred years at most since we’ve been a “cancer” to earth. If humans where gone things will continue as normal, stars shine until they fade without anyone to gaze at their beauty. Universe will turn dark without anything happening. I don’t think things will stay like this. Humans where hunter gatherers for ~288000 years but we grew out of it and learned to do better. I think the same will be true for war and injustice. We will grow out of these childish actions one day.

    LMAO yes, parents. It’s called parenting.

    Parents who provided the food, I meant: to be blamed as people who provided the food, not people with the parenting responsibility. You are right, maybe the chef in a restaurant was a better example. My point was that god provided everything we have, like fire. We can use fire both to cook food and cook people, it’s not reasonable to blame god, the creator of fire, when someone decides to cook someone else.

    What do these have in common? What point are you trying to make? What question did I ask?

    Question like “when someone gets cancer, shouldn’t they have the right to curse god?”

    Where did you take that from? The same could be said about spaghetti monster.

    God created everything, including space and time. It doesn’t make sense for god to be limited by its own creation. If spaghetti monster is the creator of everything, then that’s just another name for god I guess.

    Lorem ipsum. Text about nothing lol.

    I was trying to say just because we don’t know the reason for god’s decisions doesn’t mean a good reason doesn’t exist. And I made an example how when we were kids we made the same mistake of thinking there is no good reason for our parents to send us to schools, but there were, and we just couldn’t understand it. I hope this cleared it out, in case you thought I was spewing gibberish

    Imagine a bunch of kids having a dinner. If they start fighting over food, or fight with the food, should the parents who provided the food be blamed? If the kids enjoy a peaceful dinner instead, wouldn’t it be reasonable to thank both each other and their parents? If you’re going to point to cancer or earthquakes that have seemingly random causes, then I don’t have a satisfying answer for you. God as the ultimate creator isn’t bound by anything, including time and space. Because of this they’re infinitely beyond our imagination and we shouldn’t expect to understand every reasoning behind their decisions. But just because we don’t know the reason doesn’t mean that a good reason doesn’t exist or that god is cruel. This feeling of cruelty is similar to how we thought our parents were cruel for sending us to elementary school or how teachers were cruel for giving us home works. Since it’s not easy to understand the nessesity of education and specially the nessesity of home works even sometimes as an adult.

    Depending on the terrible thing sometimes C, but more often than not humans do it to other humans with full intent. But since that is not what the question trying to ask it’s important to say when god doesn’t prevent something terrible, it’s for our own good. Like teachers won’t do our homeworks for us because we won’t learn otherwise. I know terrible things like World War 1 is far worse than a homework but if one world war was enough for us to learn not to fight each other there wouldn’t be a World War 2, or any other war that came after (fortunately we have learned to some extent now because there are a lot less pro-war people now than before, evident by the anti-war protests followed by the Ukraine war which even happened in Russia). If god wanted to do our homework for us, they would have sent someone to fix everything with a single snap of a finger, but instead god sends teachers like Jesus and Muhammad, so we learn to do our homework by our self. While I haven’t played skyrim a quote stuck with me which was “What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?” Which I think is similar to this situation.
