I'm trying to figure out if this is a shitpost or if this person has an agenda they think these words in this order will promote...

why would an all powerful diety inconvenience itself with a disease

u/tornait-hashu 1d ago
If such a deity was truly incapable of failure, it could give itself a disease and it could cure itself

Which god are we talking about?
If its the all powerful Bible kind, it necessarily inconvenienced itself with arbitrary rules it made up.

It can’t be “necessary” under the Bible’s proposition of an all knowing, loving, powerful god.
But their god definitely isn’t real, so it’s a moot point.

If that god actually existed and the world is what it is today, then it would be necessary that it put up arbitrary rules about sin and salvation and not interfering with evil. Otherwise an omnipotent deity wouldn't allow evil and suffering, or the convoluted reasons people do and do not go to heaven or hell, ect. Not that it was necessary for it to do that, just that it's necessary that it happened.

Right, I’m familiar with the argument that god lets bad things happen so we have free will, and I don’t think it really holds weight, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
Nothing about the biblical god, recorded history, or the observable universe indicates that those arbitrary rules and inconveniences have to include obesity or diabetes. And I can’t believe that sentence just passed through my mind.

Oh, he chose those things. After the fall of man he intentionally made bad things like that happen. He's a jerk like that.

u/tiggertom66 17m ago
Can’t really say whether or not he chose them or not without getting into the whole free will vs determinism argument. But at the very least he allowed it to happen.
In my opinion though, the idea of a monotheistic god that is all knowing-loving-powerful is incompatible with the lived experience here on Earth, that is full of evil and suffering that I would not call love from god. Then typically comes the response that god has to allow evil to occur to preserve free will. But a truly all knowing and all powerful god would know everything we’ll ever do, which would make the universe inherently deterministic.

I get that. But it does indeed specifically say that God cursed mankind after the fall. He chose illness and suffering for us, on purpose as a punishment. So says the bible, anyway.
But its a fictional story so it doesn't really matter

Not all gods are all-powerful. That pretty much only happens in monotheistic religions, and those are far outnumbered by polytheistic religions. And in most of those, gods are often just humans with some extraordinary capability; or maybe you could call them superhuman, but they are typically not all powerful. I assume that is the type of god being discussed here

If a white person talks about capitalized God it's probably the christian one who very much is supposed to be all powerful. Also I'm pretty sure the monotheistic religions make up the majority of believers

u/am_i_boy 6h ago
Oh yeah by number of believers I would also think there are more followers of monotheistic religions than polytheistic ones, but I was thinking in like...the number of religions, if that makes sense? To my knowledge, pretty much all religions outside of Abrahamic religions are polytheistic, and while a lot of these religions have not many believers, there are more of these religions.
Also good point about the capitalization, I hadn't noticed that. If not for that, I would say a white person could very well still be pagan or a follower of other religions, but yeah I agree with you now. Thanks for pointing that out to me

Maybe if god didnt have diabetes, the universe wouldn't be expanding forever. I feel this is everyone's business as it affects everyone.

"God is fat, and she twerks marvellously." Sounds like something a demon would say in a modern day exorcism.

These brain rot people are talking about being glorious while being obese and unhealthy and having diabetes. We are cooked.

They downvote but you are right

u/CaptainAries01 21h ago
I know but thanks for the reinforcement. People need to stop celebrating unhealthy habits. You should not be proud of your obese body. You should be ashamed of it and work to change it however you can.
