    Don’t forget that god is supposedly all knowing and all seeing. So he knew his was going to happen anyway, watched it happen, and then swooped in to punish them knowing full well it was his fault and could have intervened at any point.

    Unless of course, Satan is more powerful than god?

      It’s almost as though iron age peasant allegories for natural phenomena don’t make any kind of fucking sense

        I laughed so hard at this. Always love getting another take on the absurdity of treating the Bible as immutable knowledge.

      “problem of evil”

      a classic

      To the final point, I think it’s be more accurate to say deception is more powerful than security, or entropy is more powerful than order.

      It kinda goes both ways. Chaos forbids its own absolution. It’d be too well ordered.

      Balance is the most powerful, the true chaos. Hypocrisy reigns.

      Thank you for attending my toker talk.
