I grew up in the church, they will tell you that since a human(s) eradicated a disease, it was clearly god that worked through them. They always have a workaround bullshit answer
Sure, but the logic reveals literally nothing. I can create an entire Sims world for the sole reason to see if the “turn pink clothing in to green clothing” mod works. Does the fact that their existence had a reason actually mean a damn thing?
I mean, we’re supposed to be stewards according to the teachings, but all those dumbass children hear is, “hey this is yours …” and just kinda space off the rest of everything said…
No rationale argument works on the irrational. The goal is to plant the seeds of rational thought. To appeal to people who aren’t completely gone, yet. The meme works perfectly fine.
see, the thing is, they are not irrational. their logic (god works through humans) is completely self-consistent, they are just basing their logic on a different set of fundamentals than us. you can say that they are not scientific, you then would be completely correct. but they are not irrational, and that’s the difficult part of changing people’s mind.

If that means those idiots at least get vaccinated then I will take that.
Given that that were true; their god also created the disease and is responsible for all the suffering. Their god is still at a net negative.
Fucking-eh, he made every calamity that has befallen man, yet the shits still think it’s a “good” plan.
This is also true when Epsteiner auctions off a 13 year old
They can’t see a bad guy without trying to be them.
I mean if we accept the hypothesis that God exists, and that he created humans, he created them with a reason.
If God exists, I reckon we are a high school simulation project that he forgot and accidentally left running.

That reason? Kill off every living thing god created.
But didn’t he create it all for us though? Which then becomes a good excuse for us to consume it all.

exactly, that’s why arguments like the one in this meme doesn’t work
