As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.

While this post is blowing up, here's the book referenced by the shooter:

If god is omnipotent, everything that happens is a result of his judgement.

Omnipotent, omnipresent, and benevolent, yes.

Benevolent is very debatable gestures widely at genocide and children dying of cancer

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Indeed.

Note that I'm not claiming anything, just pointing out the traditional philosophical parameters of what-is-or-isn't-'god'.

[-] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Even going by their own books calling god benevolent is a stretch

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Which - oh that god. Yes. That one is particularly, um, violent.

I’m referring to the abrahamic one…. I don’t know enough about Hinduism or other religions that have gods to have an opinion on them.

It is impossible for a being to be omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent given the amount of suffering in the world. They can only be two of the three at most:

Omnipotent + omniscient = Knows about evil, can stop it, but chooses not to.

Omnipotent + benevolent = Can do something about evil and wants to stop it, is too oblivious to on a large scale.

Omniscient + benevolent = Knows about evil and wants to stop it, is powerless to do anything significant about it.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that's the way most people see it.

As it happens, people don't generally talk about it very much. For some reason.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

If they're believers it's because god is "good" no matter what he does or allows to happen.
