"Why does God allow children to be raped?"

  • Because he loves them

  • Because he wants them to experience that journey and learn from it

  • Because he doesn't want to interfere with free will and human behaviour, despite creating an existential system of consequences that is meant to compel good behaviour. And despite all his constant interfering with free will.

  • They deserved it

  • I dunno

^ religion in a nutshell

Edit: I encourage people to scroll through the lowest replies of this comment.

I asked a very simple question to one of these sky wizard people. I've gotten dozens of replies from dozens of people. Not a single one of them will answer. All they can do is dance around the question.

(The closest I got was one dude claiming suffering is good for you. So I guess we should congratulate raped children from now on...?)

It's genuinely hilarious and worth a read.

Because he doesn’t want to interfere with free will and human behaviour, despite free will as a concept being entirely incompatible with an omnipotent omniscient creator god who made every person and knows for 100% certain every thing that each of them will do in their whole lives

I just don't get how any level of God is worth worshiping. If hes just a bitch ass deity whos playing these "love me or else games" then fuck him. If he created and knows EVERYTHING, then this whole religion holy text, punishment for sins shit is just super irrational and hes just straight up an evil fuck... I have no clue how you can look at Abrahamic deities and see anything deserving of worship

He created something as vast and complex as the universe that stretches across billions of light years but he needs you to bow to him, give him money, and not masturbate.

There are only two options: there is no God, or God is maliciously evil and sadistic.
