If God is real, I despise him.

My logic is simple and only intended to help people, not to “win” an argument.
It’s inconceivable that a human would be right where God is wrong. God is the source of intellect and morality. God is supremely good, intelligent, and wise. While it is totally understandable for a human to say. “Some of what God has done, or has allowed, makes no sense to me and even appears morally wrong.” it simply never makes sense for them to say, “I therefore conclude that God is actually wrong. He doesn’t know what I know or he is simply immoral and is purposely doing evil. I conclude that my own evaluation of things is superior to the Creator’s.” Such an attitude is folly.
If you think God is wrong, it’s very strong evidence that you are wrong.

First there is not proof for much of anything. Logically we can't prove the world outside our own minds exists. We would never be able to tell a real world from a simulation or a fream or some other thing. The idea the universe is real is a unprovable unfalsifiable theory. There is gery little we xan prove outside of logical concepts and maths. Second the world with so much pain is a result of separation from god. God did not intend this and from the Bibles perspective intends to fix it. Third. Its not pointless. It is a relationship. You know your family ( wife brother sister husband father mother etc.) loves you. But that doesn't mean it is pointless gor them to say it. God knows all things but to express yourself is an act of love. And you should not be so hardened that only a forceful act of god can change your mind. Be open to logic and reason. Be open to love and to see from a new perspective. There is nothing wrong with changing your mind. I never heard a flaw that held up to reason.

Is it evil to stop evil (it wasn’t a literal genocide; hyperbolic language + the Canaanites are still alive later)?

[@brandonheath6713]

@@bethburkett752 did you even think about what you just said. Dark is the absence of Light. Dark can't happen to things. Dark isn't a quantifiable quality it is simply a referential description of something else. Dark has no properties and no influence. That's what you're claiming evil is. That's the analogy you're proposing. How can you not see the flaw in that "reasoning". Evil is an act one person perpetrates on another. Evil is quantifiable as behavior, actions, and states. Evil is an attribute of an entity. Evil, by the Christian definition, is a real genuine influential force in our reality. It takes form and action. It coerces others to do the same. Evil and Dark could not be more diametrically opposed. They are literally exactly direct opposites of one another. I swear y'all need to read your damn book more thoroughly. Evil is not described as a "lack of good" or "lack of God" in the bible. To be clear, at no point does any passage in the bible explicitly state in any way that evil is "the lack of good" or "the lack of the presence of God". That is a belief you've manifested out of nothing with no base foundation. It is an invention of your mind and I'd argue a misinterpretation of what are very clear definitions of what evil is. That's on you. You've convinced your self of this falsehood. Exodus 20:1-17 clearly states evil is an action of violating the ten commandments (which were not ever referred to as commandments until the king James version of the bible BTW) Matthew 5-7 says explicitly that evil is the act of being angry. Jesus equates it to the act of murder. Proverbs 6:16-19 even creates an actual list of all the actual things God considers evil and no where in it is "the lack of good" or "the lack of God". The entirety of Genesis 3 depicts evil as a tangible creature directly influencing real human beings. In Galatians 5:19-21 Paul creates a list of many specific actions that are evil (sins of the flesh In this case)

[@bethburkett752]

@@Goldenrod6901 What he does do is grant the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient, all wise, all loving, Creator God and then he says that he'd give such an entity a piece of his mind because he, Alex, knows better. It's a ridiculous position. Alex is essentially making an argument from evil attack on the idea of the Christian God. This is an _ancient_ argument. It has already been soundly defeated. You can simply google 'theodicy' to find out all about it. One of the counter arguments to the argument from evil is that, basically, God works in mysterious ways, and the universe had to be the way it is, and that doing it another way would result in a less good universe (for some unknowable reason). Some people find that idea insufficient. They call it an 'appeal to mystery'. They're wrong, it's actually quite sufficient to counter the argument from evil. Since the argument from evil is making an absolute claim it doesn't actually take much to defeat it; you need only carve out a possible exception and it falls apart. But still, some people don't like it. Mind you, maybe it's not that the answer is unknowable, but rather just unknown. So there could be a good reason that we just don't know and can't yet grasp from our position here in this life. What Alex does in his scenario is make the appeal to mystery _true._ If we have the universe as it is with all the evils it contains, _and_ we have the Christian God as well, then _Alex is wrong._ That's a logical entailment. In this case the mysterious reason that we are currently not privy to _must_ exist. Alex's position is self-defeating. The idea that he thinks that he knows better than God is mind boggling.

You will never understand this mindset until you have hell in your life. And that hell in your life is never changing, never-ending, constantly having to endure it on a daily basis without ceasing. Imagine for a moment what it's like for a child in human trafficking. How could this child not be mad at God? Instead of experiencing a normal childhood with loving parents, They Experience rape, torture and humiliation as their toys, as their cartoons and as their schooling. As they become older they not only carry that trauma but it spills into every relationship in their life. Children raised like this are more likely to choose people that are going to abuse them further. How can you expect every single person on this planet to love God when you haven't spent a single day in their shoes? This is obviously an extreme example. Most people on this Earth have lived very cushy Comfort filled lives. Most people complain about things that don't even matter. Like small lines at the supermarket, the cashier not being fast enough, or a product being too expensive. But the people that have experienced hell on Earth, it is a bloody miracle if they still believe in God.

They are naturalistic. They are not supernatural. Why are you comparing naturalistic phenomena with a god you can't demonstrate exists?

Comments about hating God are not based on reason, they are based on emotion and self worship. The sentiment, "I hate God because he allows all this suffering" is pure emotion. The sentiment says "I want God to take an active and immediate role in judging the wicked causing all this suffering." In other words, he is asking God to kill everyone and send them to hell. But God wants to redeem us, not condemn us.

[@nolanbalzer1796]

The concept of Satan as a distinct supernatural being didn't exist until the post-exilic Greco-Roman era. Ha-Satan originally meant 'Adversary' and anyone could assume the role. The "Adversary" mentioned in Job was part of the Divine Council of El Elyon (God), of which Adonai/Yahweh was a member. After that, it referred to the plurality of desert Djinns the ancient Israelites thought they could ward off with charms. It was further developed in the centuries leading up to Jesus' time until it referred to an individual entity responsible for creating evil; a responsibility that had previously belonged to God as attested to in Isaiah 45:7. Early church dogma retrojected this new perception back onto the ancient Hebrew scriptures claiming that both the serpent in Eden and the Adversary in Job were an individual named Satan, even though the data do not support this notion and Genesis itself says that the serpent was simply the craftiest of all the animals. Even in the story of Job, the Adversary doesn't kill anyone. He simply suggests that El can prove his point about Job by torturing him and killing his family and livestock. He is loosed to incite other people to do the killing but El takes ultimate responsibility for the destruction and torture. He concludes the story by stating that he can do what he wants because he's powerful enough to get away with it. Essentially, "might makes right", which is a concept most people identify with tyranny and sociopathy. There is little difference between the God of the Old Testament and the Satan Jesus talks about.
