Did God make this world?
Did God make this world?
By JFarrell
( I heard in the news Stephen Fry in trouble over comments he made)
Let’s assume
For the sake of argument
God is real
God created this beautiful, amazing world
How can you blame him for the ugliness in it?
The death of a child from cancer
A school buried in a mud slide
People scarred by chemical weapons
People dying in vast numbers
Famine, drought, war
This is all men
With cancer, several years from now we’ll discover something we used to do
Created it
I don’t believe in god (I think)
These are not things sent by god to “test us”
This is us, it always has been
Stop blaming god
God is the boogyman. A device
God is the boogie man. A device for us to defer responsibility. We externalize ourselves in imaginary things, because it is hard for us to imagine the horrors and troubles of this world. They seem all to real to us. We look for an explanation for that realness. But that explanation is us. We choose not to see it. We create god to justify the destruction.
Let the crossword puzzle remain unsolved
Faith in external force/s dawn at moments of solitude in natures lap. Best wishes.
