Why can't God do evil?

[Bars]

Seriously who actually thinks God doesn't do evil? He created evil. He can do both good and evil. He can genocide entire nations for no apparent reason, deceive people, and punish them for his own deception. He can be fair and unfair. He is capable of anything. Yes you can blame God for all your looks, faults, and you will be completely right. I have no idea why ppl think evil doesn't come from God but from some retarded angel lmao

 

[davidlaidisme67]

I agree ngl. People just are retarded and unironically believe in the just world fallacy. This is really evident in chads and subhumans

 

[ltnbrownacnecel]

God needs to repent for his sins to me.

 

[ICXCLuvr]

Because the religion says he is benevolent

 

[Sandriguez]

because he’s god. god is good so he can’t do evil. duhhh

I'm seeing tons of threads related to religion today. Out of curiosity, is there something specific that made you want to discuss this?

He sent @PEENO08 to hate on East Asians so they could convert to Christianity to hope of being born into a Aryan Chad in their next life

No joke you’re one of my favorite current users rn. A comedy genius

 

[JasGews69x]

Because He is All Powerful, All Knowing , All-Wise, All Seeing,Perfectly Just etc
Every decision is the perfect one

He created evil.

You are mistaken. In the classical Christian tradition, evil is not a created substance but a privation of the good, a disorder introduced through the misdirection of created freedom. God creates what is good; the distortion of that good arises from the creature, not from the Creator.

there's a lot of mystery around every religion.. nothing can be both proven or disproven, because religion isn't really in a logical space for that kind of discussion.

In all reality, religion is simply a belief, a show of faith. For all we know, God could be the bad guy and Satan could be the good guy, and we would never know. Yes there's the Bible but who's to say it's actually right. If religion (and god) is real, it goes way beyond anything a human can simply understand.

man made god in his image, and in the mans vision everything seems perfec and ordered, man even came up with the most daring assumptions in the bible, of believeing man being a fixed and unchanged aspect coming from the heavans, when he forgets hes just a animal in better condition

i dream that people will start seeing abrahamic religions the same way we see the greek mythological gods today, useful but ultimately false

the mysticism shouldve detered the people of the past away from this religion, its prob by the works of the european mind and its urge to force his beliefs on lower kinds that forces this religion to still be as big

I agree with what you're saying, but religion still isn't inherently a bad thing.. Correct or not, it's still a motivation for millions of people to be better, even if it IS just brainwashing.

Countries that are based around religion (specifically Christianity in this case) visibly do better than countries that aren't. Poland is and was strictly catholic for hundreds of years and now it's one of the better European countries despite being raped and thrown around in the 1900's

The issue i have with modern day religion is that it's entirely warped and transformed to fit into modern day needs. Religion isn't modern and shouldn't be. A real god would want his creations to be happy and natural which is something no christian church nowadays preaches.

 

[Maxillular]

Soft god theory

God isn't omnipresent/omniscient, a concept which could very well be impossible.

Hence he cannot control as much as people thinks he can.

 

[Maxillular]

Creating mankind and life is much easier than actively monitoring and intervening in every single decision.

You can grow plants, raise pets, children. But you can't control them entirely can you?

I've never heard of a theory like this.. it's very interesting and would make some sense.

It's very comparable to having a garden - yes you can plant the seeds, care for them, feed and water them and maybe even destroy them, but at the same time you can't tell a flower to naturally grow in the left side or make a flower brown instead of red.

So god wouldn't be evil, but just unable to do anything about the naturally occurring evils of the world..

Although if we are already talking about the bible, in the past god has intervened with life in big ways - very 'supernatural' esque.. And then just suddenly stopped in the modern world. My guess will be and always has been that the bible is just a hoax.

Very plausible. It aligns with my view that we are in some kind of a lab experiment, a simulation

 

[Chance1]

He created evil.

You can’t “create” evil, for it is just an absence of good.

Just as darkness is an absence of light.

 

[ihatereddit]

because the idea that god can be evil is extremly brutal and too much for most people

 

[jervis]

Nobody serious denies God created evil. The actual argument is that God defines the moral standard so calling him "evil" requires a higher standard than him, which by definition doesn’t exist. The argument eats itself.

Creating something and endorsing it aren’t the same. A director filming a murder isn’t a murderer.

And you can’t blame God for your faults while framing him as amoral in the same breath. That’s wanting accountability from someone you just said has none. Pick a lane.

 

[orangomango2003]

For logical people it's obvious that evil doesn't exist and god/the bible is a fairy tale. But even if he did exist by definition God can't be evil, because then he wouldn't be God. Something is God when it is the most perfect thing that exists, and something that is the most perfect can't have flaws, such as being deceptive or evil. So when you say god can be evil, you're describing something that's not god.

Who is responsible for creating subhumans if not God? You speak as if I chose my life the way it is. I didn't choose to be ltn or anything like that. If I had, then I would've blamed myself and not God.

Is it your fault if you are a manlet incel?

The painter isn’t responsible for how the painting interprets itself.
You didn’t choose your circumstances but you’re choosing what to do with them right now, this conversation is proof of that. A man with no agency doesn’t argue, he just exists..

Is it your fault if you are a manlet incel?

Being short isn’t your fault, but it’s not God's fault either. Hardship existing isn’t the same as being wronged

And incel isn’t a condition, it’s a worldview you built around the circumstance. God didn’t construct that..

He cannot do evil because it his Him alone who sets the standard. And he didn't create evil. He created the ability to do evil by creating free will.
