The argument of the cosmic plan is the reasons are beyond human understanding
The child that died slowly and painfully from a horrible disease, died for a reason. God willfully did/allowed it, but for a reason we just are unable to understand. So to a thiest this meme doesn’t make sense.
Mind you I don’t believe in this stuff but these kind of jabs are just preaching to the athiest choir.
So this “grand cosmic plan” seems to involve a lot of everyone having to tell god how great he is every day… Sounds like a certain deity has some crippling self confidence issues
He had an overbearing father who disciplined him hashly to be fair.
His overbearing father who was also him
‘Made in “His” image’ is clear; to be anxious is to be divine.
The seraphim, the highest order of angels and those closest to God (at least in the Christian interpretation) only exist to tell God how great he is:
six-winged beings that fly around the Throne of God crying “holy, holy, holy”.
He’s paying some dudes just to hang around and polish his ego.
IF- and this ‘if’ is doing a lot of work here, god exists… then the ‘plan’ is to LARP as the White Knight.
remember, the whole sin thing started with Adam and Even in the garden. any one who has ever raised kids, or pets more interesting than a yeast starter… knows that you put two pets in a yard, tell them they can do whatever, except eat from two plants…
… they’re gonna eat from two plants.
Original sin was a setup. When a child burns their hand on the stove you told them not to touch, you don’t condemn them to hell for it. Also, why did you leave the stove on and leave the kid unattended? Also, why would you punish their descendants for the sins of their parents? Also, why did you invent hell, the stove, and the temptation? “Free will” is a bullshit answer for an omniscient being who knows what’s going to happen.
The answer is… so that being can RP as some kind of hero. It’s even more transparent morality bullshit than BioWare games.
