I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!
Once again I just want to say that I am not a satanist. I do not speak for anyone but myself. The people here are more than capable of speaking for themselves.
But, what you said still doesn’t touch the issue that we were talking about. Which is, “Why would an all powerful all seeing “god” let his creations suffer?” If he is all powerful then he can keep suffering from happening. If he is all knowing then he does know the suffering is happening. So, if real, he chooses to let that suffering happen. It’s that simple.
If you’re saying that “god” doesn’t intervene because humans have free will. That means that “god” deserves no credit for anything other than creation. In that case worshipping him is the same as worshipping a mom and dad that abandoned you at birth. Which is completely insane.
Also, I’d just like to point out that “god” gave zero shits about “free will” when it came to sodom and Gomorrah. “God gave zero shits about free will when it came to Lot.
Now look, I’m done. You have been backed into a corner where there is no satisfactory answer. There is no way to explain the problem in a way that is reasonable. Also, I have better things to do than argue the merits of an imaginary friend. It’s been fun, happy holidays.
Because intervention would mean he doesn't allow free will
