As a theist. All I see is people placing blame on God, specifically God(s) of various religious doctrine for the state of the world. How come you all don't blame man? It's perplexing. How can you blame God for the various systems put in place by man. By pollution caused by man. Various diseases caused by man? I get that it's EASY to just blame God, but wouldn't common sense dictate that Man is the problem and not God. If man was wiped out tomorrow wouldn't the earth thrive?

lil tammy can get cancer for various reasons including fukked up chemicals we use to preserve food, carbon emissions, pollutants in general, spray's we use to keep insects off food etc..

California is experiencing a drought. Who told humans to build a world class city in a desert. Same thing with Venice. What about humans who choose to live in the shadow of Volcano's like Naples. etc..

Matter of fact, who told humans to develop cars? Maybe it wasn't meant for you to drive to destinations.

Same as planes. maybe you weren't meant to experience the entire world in this lifetime.

Do you blame car crashes or plane crashes on God?

It depends on the type of God we're talking about though.

A deistic God would deserve no blame since he in no way shape or form interacts with reality.

A dualistic God would deserve blame since he would both be good and evil.

Polytheists doesn't suffer this issue since there are multiple gods. Some can be bad....some can be good.

But in general when people speak about God they are referring to the Abrahamic archetype. All powerful, All knowing, All seeing, every quantifiable adjective you can think of. This God is deserving of blame because he knew what his creations would do before he even created them.

I'll put it like this, if you knew for certain that your child would grow up to be Hilter....would you still chose to have him? That's essentially the dilemma of the Abrahamic archetype. He had the foresight and knowledge of everything that would ever happen and still chose to let it happen. Hes at least guilty of being a bystander.

If God gave man free will how are they not?

because if is the source of all creation how is it not possible to be apart of all creation.

all life is made of all of the same elements. that free will logic is just our rationalizations of the 'good' and 'bad' of existence.

we have free thought.

think deeply
