Do you believe God is up there micromanaging everyone's lives?

[winb83]

This is provided you believe in God at all. I just wonder where people get this impression from. I mean if I was God and I had a species I created with billions of people I'm certainly not gonna be sitting around micromanaging the details of billions of lives at an individual level. I mean God has to have more important things going on than Chuck quitting his job to start his own business because that's the supposed path chosen for him. Are people really that self-absorbed to think the individual goings on of their lives are front and center on God's agenda?

What else does he have to do? King of fukkery

 

[the cac mamba]

the fact that people look to god, thank god, etc in 2019 is fukking embarrassing

there might be some being up there who created things (we wont get into what would have had to create that being). but the idea of him interfering in life and answering prayers is laughable, for the simple fact of all the suffering he clearly ignores

The deist view seems to be the most logical of theist explanations.

you have to make up your mind i mean first he knows everything we do, but then we have free will, first he answers individual prayers, but then he doesnt and he just sits back and lets free will happen.

religious fools just jump from narrative to narrative depending on how their year went

No. I think the idea that god is micromanaging everyone's lives is a distortion of Scripture, though it's easy to understand how people would want to come to such a conclusion.

The question of suffering is a very different question. It's not easy by any means, but people who demand a world without suffering are as naive and simplistic about the issue as people who believe that god micromanages everyone's lives.

Imagine that you are God for a moment. What do you believe the ideal solution to that would be?

Have the mother give the child up to a good Foster family at birth.

 

[No Ma’am]

What if God was one of us

 

[Take It In Blood]

People need God to maintain structure in their existence and to make sense of complicated things that don't necessarily make sense. (Plus the idea of someone watching u will keep some maniacs in check to a degree.... although alot of stats say otherwise)

The training wheels will come off eventually. Which is why I slowed down on shytting on religion. It's like shytting on an elderly person who needs a cane. Just let em live for the moment. Inevitably society will evolve past it.

So you're saying God should take control of people? Force their hand? Every time you made a bad enough decision he would take over and force you to make the right one?

And he should do this in just that little girl's case, or every single time something bad is going to happen to any child? Would we be walking around in a world where children are invincible up to a certain age, so adults don't really need to protect them or watch out for them? Or is there a certain specific cutoff? And does this only go for bad things that people do or natural physical consequences too?
