Why is God worth of worship?
So I’ve always had this question which people usually avoid by calling me rude or that I’m attacking them but I genuinely want to know. My stand on whether he’s real or not is unknown since I can’t neither prove or disprove his existence.
In the case that he was real, I don’t think he’s a being that deserves worship because of the following:
We all agree he’s all knowing, all powerful, etc. Would you make a creature fully knowing that it would break the rules you set up just to end up suffering in a world where there’s free will and they’ll most likely live a life full of trauma and abuse. Everyone says that he has plans and we just don’t understand but that’s such a cop out answer to excuse such behavior. Kids are currently dying and being r*ped because of wars and disgusting leadership. Now let me ask you, would you let your children suffer in such ways if you knew you had the power to end it all, why make us a living and sentient being knowing the suffering that comes with it. No amount of free will, experiences in life will ever be enough of a benefit for everything these innocent souls experience. That’s selfish and immoral. People who avoid near death are told that is thanks to God they’re hear today, but not when a kid is assaulted. Why would God intervene to avoid instant death but not the suffering of a kid. Either he’s not all powerful and all knowing or he’s simply not all loving as we are told.
I’ve been told how would you know what’s good or bad if you don’t have God/Religion as the standard, but how would that be a good example when that same God put a kid in Mary who was 12-16 at the time, a kid can’t and will never be able to consent no matter the times or if it’s God himself, I’d never let my kid be in such situation neither would it be a blessing. There are many other things I’m leaving out but the list would just go on and on.
Personally I believe religion is mainly used as a way to cope with the hardships of life such as losing a loved one while others use it to manipulate masses. The way big churches do for money and power, or taking advantage of others with their power. My mother uses it as a way to cope with losing her mother, and I think that’s good enough of a reason, some people can’t see life the same if they don’t have hope that after death things will be better. But I can’t help but ask these questions because if I don’t that’d be neglecting what kids experience just so that I can have some peace of mind telling myself that God will be there for me when in reality he wasn’t there for any of those kids.
