>You can't explain something fr nothing
>so why the fuck did our creator create such evil and suffering
how does that follow?

>>18154605
God doesn't give a fuck and just made a world he thought seemed cool and then fucked off

That is a beautiful place, OP.

Samsara has no discernible beginning.

Put an end to dukkha and escape worldly clinging.

The universe is energy being acted upon by forces with condensed energy forming matter that looks solid but is actually more like a 99.9999% empty energetic hologram

>>18154703
And also you’re a mostly empty energetic hologram experiencing life from the perspective of a body sized electrical storm on brain scaffolding guided by a chemical switchboard you could reasonably call a soul that is dependent on the health and survival of your hologram body

>>18154605
Idk but it feels so good.

The strongest steel is forged in the hottest flames, retard. We are put here to be tested. Will you be corrupted by this world? Or will you stand firm?
Stay strong and God bless.

>which is fucking bullshit
Says u.
Why did you post this to /lit/ though? I'm glad you did, I wouldn't have seen it on what are probably the most fitting boards. I suppose your reasoning is that it is a philosophical issue, which is fair enough.
Book of Job pretty much states that yes, God's plan is unknown but he knows what he's doing and we aren't anywhere near qualified to judge.
Bless you OP and everyone else, may God have mercy on us all.

>he took the materialism pill while having thoughts that are so close to idealism

It's such a weak cop out argument. It's way too much mental gymnastics to try to just go with god having an unknownable plan. I can reconcile it. I'm in a lot of pain right now and never being able to know even a basic answer hurts

>>18155239
Can't reconcile it*

cringe thread cringe question ask the right questions find the right answers- abandon your presuppositions

Well, I've had a very serious issue and suffering hit me out of nowhere that has lasted 10 months thus far, but I still stand by what I said. Humans are of finite mind, God and the Universe are far too vast and complex for me to have an issue with the notion of God's plan being unknowable by us.

God (or whatever you want to call him/it, I find “the absolute” to make the most sense) is an artist and existence is a “play” he’s orchestrated. The play consists of struggle and overcoming but these are necessary if a narrative is to produce an aesthetic experience. God has created it so he can admire it’s beauty. It is our job as “actors” to bring the story to resolution. Tragedians deny a resolution is possible but the result of that denial is merely another thread those intent on resolution will have to weave to conclusion.

Resolution is achieved by establishing a 1:1 relationship between our thoughts and our world. When humanity began this was our state, our minds were primitive and untamed as our world was. The Fall occurred when we acquired our first drop of consciousness and from then on we’ve been trying to reenter eden by establishing the kingdom of heaven. We are aware things are not the way they should be so God gave us thought in order to rectify inconsistencies between our mind and our world.

When resolution is achieved we will have raised ourselves to a higher state from which we began. We will have attained divinity.

Plastics. Petroleum. The earth needs to take a big shit from its previous meals, so humans act as the earth’s stool softener
