So, in other words: which of your core beliefs do you think has the highest likelihood of being wrong? And by wrong, I don’t necessarily mean the exact opposite - just that the truth is significantly different from what you currently believe it to be.
that part is tautological. if the almighty is perfection, then benevolence is defined by it, not by us. so the only way one can consistently hold that belief is to admit that we are the imperfection. we are the disease, we are punished. i guess that’s why i dont believe that shit lol
Yeah, that’s often put forward, but I never really found the argument satisfactory. A deity can tell me starving children is benevolence all it wants, and that just means that it’s using the word differently from me. I don’t care how impressive it is.
