The intelligence of some is based upon test scores. Why should I be so different? What makes people think that I am so smart? Why am I so different from anyone else? I don’t think that anything I say is particularly significant. What makes it significant? If someone says something that sets my mind ablaze, I say that I think it is significant. Never have I said anything that made me think. Except for one thing. If God knows everything that has happened and will ever happen, then why was there a tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If God knew that man would fail, why would he place the temptation there? It makes no sense. If God created man to be perfect and set them apart, why would He set them up to fail.
It’s like when people are hired and then later the employer finds out about past activities and they are fired. Why give them a chance to fail before they are even given a chance? If man was meant to fail, then why was the original plot set? No one, according to the bible would have acted differently. The bible states that any man in the situation of Adam would have acted in the same way as he. So why put the temptation before him? Why not just create a utopia? Was it for some sick twisted game that God wanted to play? Why not make it perfect? Why not leave things so that no sin could ever be discovered so that everyone ever would be happy? If not for original sin all people would be satisfied. No one would go hungry. No one would be in need. God created sin. God created want.
There are people in this world that are set up to fail. People are born of broken homes that have no chance of survival but to become slaves and victims of society. Why are these people here? To create a pool for which for “righteous” people are to give? Ghettos exist. Destitution is rampant. Original sin effects all who survive. If God was so holy, how can such conditions exist? Why was there a Tree Of The Knowledge of Good and Evil? What purpose did it fulfill? If God knew that man would fail, why was the option available? Did God simply invent the idea of free will to make life interesting for himself? Would life be too boring to a God whose purpose was to babysit a society of robots, born to follow every whim that was mandated? Why?
No matter how many people or philosophers I ask, no one can give me any reason that makes any kind of sense. If a utopia is possible and the preferred option, why is there sin? Why is there suffering? Why isn’t everything in life easy and free? Why isn’t existence a right? Why do people have to contribute? To discourage laziness? That’s bullshit. Why do people need to feed to live? Feeding seems to me the only reason to work. To provide shelter and food are the only necessary means to living. God could have easily provided these things to everyone. Why would he place an obstacle in the way of humanity? The only reason I can think of is to create a world that is more interesting. A world were people are given a choice of what can and connot be done. A world of possibility and impossibility. It makes no sense for God to create an imperfect world.
I don’t understand. People suffer every day. And we as Christians are led to believe that these things are occurring because of man’s imperfection. Why is there imperfection? Fuck it. I’m drunk and tired. This message goes out to all who are confused. Do not let the ways of man distort your reality. Only a wise man can distinguish the motives of a higher power. I am obviously not one of those men. If a God is all knowing and all powerful, explain to me how these things can happen. It is, in my mind, impossible. There is no God. There is no perfection. There is no life but the one we live. I do not see any way around it. There cannot be any truth but the one that is presented.
