A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If Jesus can turn water into wine, but wine is still mostly made of water, can Jesus apply his powers recursively and create more and more concentrated wine? (lemmy.ml)

Yeah, don't worry about kids dying of cancer. They're irrelevant in the vastness that is god.

I wonder, tho. Which one do you mostly lean towards. Are kids dying to punish someone or are they dying to test the parents? Or is there a third, more important reason we mortals can't comprehend? Or is it just about having faith that it's his will?

I can go on a killing spree tomorrow and feel good about myself because that was god's will, right? He allowed it to happen, right?

We've either got free will in which case there's no "god's will" or, we don't actually have free will and everything is predetermined to happen anyway. Not sure which is more fucked up to believe.
