Except the book of Job. Where God explicitly tortures a person just to see if he can still be faithful to God. Kills his wife and kids! And when he is faithful, he gets what? His wife and kids back? No of course not, because those are property, he gets a NEW wife and NEW kids. Hahah, oops, all is forgiven right? No biggie.
> That doesn't mean God is "weak". It means applying human concepts to God just doesn't make sense. He will always be greater and above them.
God isn't even trying to show himself to exist. And for all the people of the world that are not convinced by incoherent babbling we shall all be condemned to suffer for eternity? That is neither logical, just, or even sane.
- 1718627440 1y agoThe book of Job is a warning to think bad things happening are the fault of the person itself being evil. It's also warning about being to attached to your current nice life, because everything is temporary. > Kills his wife and kids! According to the book of Job, the suffering isn't done by God, but by the Devil. > he gets a NEW wife and NEW kids. His wife and kids are dead. Resurrecting people for the pleasure of another person, that's like puppets serving a master, it wouldn't be respectful and consequential. > God isn't even trying to show himself to exist. In my opinion he does. That's what the bible is; a collection of examples where God tries to show himself to exist. And he still does, every decade, every year, maybe even every day?
