That’s a phrase that I heard recently, and I think that it’s from some famous philosopher, but uhm…

I don’t know how to debunk it.

I’m doing my best to believe without thinking too much about that.

Some days it gets hard tho, so I’d like to hear you guys’ take on it.

    So, what you’re saying is that the Book of Job disproves the divinity of a god?

    This idea rests on the notion that the human ideas of good and evil are universal, and apply to a god. Why should that be the case? What if god has decided that murder is good, and will reward everyone that commits murder with a spot in heaven?

      still doesn’t address acts of God that kill and hurt so many (earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.), nor things God would have created and is responsible for like the existence of and harm from parasites, diseases, hereditary conditions, etc.
