  It’s tautological to them. Anything we’d consider evil he did because it creates the most good. All evil, by that view, is in pursuit of the greatest good.

    Oh I know, but there is some things that are objectively evil, like killing children. And since their god is omnibenevolent and all knowing, then there is no point in killing children, unless your god is either evil or not omnibenevolent, you can’t have both.

    But yeah, there are things you just have to accept that these extremists just take for granted, like they are so chosen/special that they can have the cake and eat it.

      Jesus popping up and drowning children isn’t an imposition of will apparently.

      The scary thing is that we’re the fringe. Somehow we’ve got a planet full of superstitious weirdos - the people saying “yeah, can I see some proof?” are the outliers.

        Another scary thing is that religious freedom apparently doesn’t apply… am I not free to decide if I need religion in my life?
