Dead babies?

"God works in mysterious ways."

"Trust God's plan."

"Everything happens for a reason."

"You have to have faith."

"We should pray."

"He is testing our faith, like the book of Job."

These are the bullshit answers they give us because they don't really have an answer.

And when something good happens what do they say?

"God is good!"

"Praise the Lord!"

Look, believe in God all you want but when someone pisses on you, don't call it rain.

Have a meaningful conversation of how an all powerful, good God can allow so much suffering. Either he isn't good or he isn't powerful.

Have a meaningful conversation of how an all-powerful, good God can allow so much suffering.

Evolution is driven by adversity. Organisms experience stress, seek to relieve themselves of that stress, and improve upon their function iteratively over billions of years.

Pain is a form of information which gives an organism an imperative to change. And with a great number of organisms, you will necessarily have a great deal of suffering. But without that pain, you lose the incentive to change. The end result is stagnation and decay. A lack of pain isn't joy, it's numbness. A lack of adversity does not imply triumph but inertia. What you're asking for isn't a Utopia, it's the heat death of the universe.

I get it. Rape, murder, war, horrific disease, and all the other "adversity" the all-knowing cock known as God allows is for our own good. It's like a man beating his wife so she'll know better next time. She'll evolve due to the information provided by his fist.

"What you're asking for isn't a Utopia, it's the heat death of the universe." I dunno about you but all I'm looking for is a little less genocide, maybe a bit fewer hungry children, maybe some consequences for well-known pedophiles.

I guess if there is no horrific suffering in the world we won't evolve. I volunteer you for the next horror, you piece of shit.
