What do I have to lose? Promoting dystheistic antinatalism.

>Even an imperfect existence is better than no existence,

"1So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter. 2Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive. 3Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun."

I fucking GUARANTEE when you are roasting in hell, and you will be, I assure you, that you wont give a flying fuck abut defending your cosmic horror. You'll be like "GET ME OUT OF HERE. FUCK YOU GOD!". So have your fun while it lasts, produce lots of children to go to hell and rest assured in your apologetics.

If I choose antinatalism and not to have children then my not having children is the perfect good as well. If I convince others to not have children, then that is also the perfect good If everything that happens is part of the plan then my choices are also part of the plan.

What if I say Quetzalcoatl is those things instead?

>>12595062
Why would you post that picture?

>>12594672
Okay, I wont say he's evil. I'll just say he is sadistic.

>>12594443
No, I'm saying he DIDN'T create those at all. He merely copied them over.

at any rate its not the suffering that is good, its the gain. Just because the suffering facilitates the gain doesn't mean the suffering itself is a good. The suffering of being hungry is the same in kind as the suffering of starving unto death, just a less severe form. As you are caught on the hedonic treadmill, suffering being hungry might facilitate the enjoyment of a nice meal but its not the hunger that is the good, its a satiety. If everyone could flip a switch to be blissed out all the time without any drawbacks, they would. After all this is what most adherents of religion believe they are striving towards.

Theory of mind means understanding that other people can be working with different information than you are. You are making appeals that someone who is Christian would respect and understand but not anyone else. I'll break down your arguments.

>Christian scripture speaks on this. It literally states that Satan is the god of this world. So you are right the god, notice lowercase g, of this world is not the, as you put it, platonic God

Tryin' to be a cheeky cunt are we? (probably not, in actuality you probably think this is some sort of concession)

>However, if you think about it, it doesn’t matter because the God that created the categories that make up existence is the ultimate and everything is derived from Him.

Okay but why is this your God? He could have got these protocols from elsewhere.

> In my silly little mouse maze analogy, if these mice were able to think deeply they may arrive to the conclusion that the human(s) who grew them, feed them, house them, etc. are god(s). In comparison to them we are god-like but we are no closer to God compared to them than we are to any mouse in our reality.

I'm just supposed to take your word for it?

>We constructed a universe for them but not one that is any more or less distant from the categories that God used to create existence itself.

Once again, which God?

>So your issue of this ‘direct line’ to Him doesn’t register. Why wouldn’t we have a direct line to Him if we are created beings with spirit?

This is a sermon at this point.

"WE" didn't establish anything. Suffering is bad by its very definition. Its like saying water is wet.
