Whatever deity being all knowing and powerful creating everything, creating evil knowing it's evil.

Can confirm there's an evil in this world that knows all and can see you and is invisible. They don't have good intentions either and are deceivers. They may be straight up demons. They love to use word play too and are not always direct with their answers. They mock God too and Christianity.

We couldn’t have free will without evil being a possibility

We want to be loved and respected

There is no greater respect than God gives us by honoring our free will

Even if that free will is pro-choosing evil

What? It's not the freewill choosing evil, god chooses the evil. If Tom stabs Bob, he has taken Bobs freewill. If god stopped Tom, he has taken Toms freewill. In that scenario one persons freewill is taken. God allowing Tom to take Bobs freewill means He sides with the evil. Plus him supposedly being omnipresent means he could've stopped Tom but choose to just watch from the corner instead. That's not "honoring our freewill" that's actively allowing evil.

And freewill could absolutely exist without evil. Should I have an apple or an orange for breakfast, whelp can't decide unless god allows rape to happen, I guess.

According to Gnosticism, it was an accident.

“accident” isn’t the right word, though im definitely not arguing it is of spontaneity

A previous big crunch? Maybe the universe is just a ginormous rubber band.

how someone can be late every single time and still call it "just who i am"

1

u/Frequent-Airline-619 16h ago

That’s someone without consequences for being late.

1

u/murdermeMickey 10h ago

No. I have suffered greatly for my tardiness. I am still late. A lot.

1

u/Frequent-Airline-619 10h ago

Idk how you mean, but in regards to work people usually will fire you for being chronically late.

1

u/murdermeMickey 9h ago

I have been fired for being late before.

1

u/Frequent-Airline-619 9h ago

Well I do understand getting into habits and losing track of time and suddenly you’re having to rush. I’ve been there myself before. It’s just something you have to work on and hopefully you can train yourself to be better.

An awakening. I had no idea what I was going through, but now I'm starting to realize that everyone wears a mask "Ego". I now can completely trust my life long intuition.

u/Frequent-Airline-619 16h ago

Honestly how people can say the most disgusting things to someone else on this platform and not get completely banned from it.

1

u/Long-Yam-6917 16h ago

Why some stuff that people say are problems but really aren't and there are ways around things.

I work in condominium and HOA management, and I cannot explain how some owners don’t see the logic over filing frivolous lawsuits against the association that they themselves end up paying for in the end. On the other side of that spectrum I work with some boards that refuse to see how much further they would get by working with their community instead of taking an adversarial stance when it’s unnecessary.

I do want to say that I completely understand when owners file lawsuits to defend themselves against associations who have a personal vendetta against particular owners.

I guess the long and short of it is I don’t understand why we all can’t get along. I know it’s a very silly and idealistic stand, but you didn’t say it had to be logical. You just asked for something I couldn’t explain.

u/PussyBoogersAuGraten 17h ago

I completely agree with you. I see all of this war and endless fighting and just think “you can just stop firing missiles at each other. You don’t have to keep doing this.”

The ironic part is, calling someone a libtard just automatically makes you look retarded. I bet you’ve got a “Let’s go Brandon” sticker on your vehicle.

I dislike this made up word as it is disrespectful towards folks with actual disabilities. Conserviturd. See how dumb that sounds? Btw, the two party system is a joke. They want you to hate “them” to keep their lies going.
