why does god give kids cancer?
>>18199738Why do humans force their children to eat cancer causing foods, and pump cancer causing chemicals into the air?
>>18199741https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11376673/>However, the only confirmed case of malignant soft tissue neoplasm in the head and neck region was detected in a male child mummy from northern Chile that presented a lesion in the right cheek. also, pic related is an osteosarcoma found on the toe of a 1.6 million year old human ancestor adolescent
>>18199738romans 9:16-21
>>18199738The Demiurge is evil
>>18199738Christcucks will scream "whataboutism" and "if god real why x" but they can never actually refute the point.
Because god practices reincarnation, obviously.
>>18200529You don't understand the essence of Christianity A child being called to God via any means is painful for the family that loses him, but the child's soul is most likely in Heaven and that is ultimately better than hypothetically seeing the child grow up, commit atrocious sins, die unrepentant, and end up in hell. But let's say in another timeline the child would grow up and live a pious life leading to Heaven. It would still not matter after the parents die because they will forget all their sorrows and be reunited with their offspring.However, if a child dies due to neglect or , malpractice or what have you, then he perpetrators most likely are damned forever as per the Gospel
>>18200553Its crazy the things we tell ourselves to explain the shitty, unfair and brutal nature of our world.
>>18199738Because you touch yourself at night
>>18200565>the things we tell ourselves If I believe in God and the Bible, which I do, it makes sense
>>18200600It doesnt make sense, that you believe enough to pester us daily, but not as hard as to obey it
>>18200605>ushow many people are with you in the room anon? blink twice and I'll send help>pesteryou're the one who replied. I simply gave you my perspective >not as hard as to obey itsource?
>>18200609>How many people are with you? A cohort of demons >My perspectiveIn summary: you wanna know why we don't fear Christian men and what can you do? (Nothing).>Source? I can tell as a Demon. 1. Do you have your personal altar to offer up on it? 2. Do you meditate? 3. You do the works? 4. Are you sinless? 5. Did you find a narrow and hidden path? Lmao
>>18199738>hurr god person in sky picks each kid to get cancerThis is retarded teleology. The universe has physical laws. Cells mutate. Shit happens. God isn't a cosmic micromanager pushing the cancer button.
Why do people obsess over kids? I think the loss of a 30 year old working tax payer is more tragic than the loss of a child who can be replaced easily.
>>18200654>God isn't a cosmic micromanager pushing the cancer button.Refuted by occasionalism.
>>18200553>the child's soul is most likely in Heavenunless he wasn't baptized/born in the right country to be a christian, then he's fucked
>>18200619>larping as a demonyou are definitely disturbed sonat least larp as something less homosexual
>>18199738Christianity promises salvation after death. Not good life on Earth. "Preachers" who claim that good things happen to Christians because of their faith are charlatans.
>>18200888>baptized in the right countryWhere in the Bible does it say that?
>>18200972i meant baptized, or born in the wrong country (not christian)
>>18200980if that's the parent's concern, they can baptize their childSt. Constantine was baptized before his death and Dante saw him in Heaven 1000 years later
>>18201033so if a kid's parents dont believe in god, the kid can end up in hell through no fault of his own?
>>18201075You have to ask God that question. If a kid's parent doesn't believe in God, then God can't be blamed for what happens
>>18201076this contradicts Ezekiel 18:20
>>18201082I meant the parents can't blame God for taking their child if they don't even believe in God. I stated in my first comment that God calls children to Him, so there is no contradiction
>>18200519sound fucking evil
>>18199738could be because of past life karma
>>18200967>He thinks I'm larping >You're disturbedNot a bad band, but I'm not them ;)These have great drumming, btw ;)
>>18199738All part of God's plan, chud. He works in mysterious ways and you can't understand His divine intellect.
>>18200553That doesn’t explain why suffering exists. If god is trying to get that kid to heaven why not kill him in a way that’s quicker and causes less suffering for the child and still sending him to heaven. There’s also the problem where if the whole point of killing children is to send them to heaven before they grow into sinners why doesn’t god just give all human children cancer?
>>18200654That kinda sounds like there’s a limit to what god can know or do. Does he know about every case of child cancer but can’t stop them all or is it he does stop child cancer but only the cases he aware of which means he’s not all knowing.
>>18201338Why can’t he make us understand?
>>18201244omnipotent beings can do whatever you want because no one (not you or i) can stop them, we are merely creations that cant oppose the tyrant creator, this is the basis of calvinism
>>18200971Then why bother with charity?
>>18200519>[16] So then it depends not on human will or exertion,(1) but on God, who has mercy. >[17] For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” >[18] So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.>[19] You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” >[20] But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” >[21] Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?God tortures some with being made poorly for his own purpose, you have no right to complain about it, and in fact, any response to it at all is pointless since you lack standing to even merit a response, which was eloquently explained to Job.This implies that stoicism is the proper response to suffering.
>>18201667>This implies that stoicism is the proper response to suffering.many people cope with suffering in different wayssome dissociate, some use religious and philosophical forms of dissociation like buddhism and stoicism>just ignore your suffering brokek ultimate dissociating cope
>>18199738not christian but this problem of evil lies on a wrong conception of omnipotence/benevolenceGod isn't omnipotent in a way by which he can do anything. There's limits to what he can do (namely logical contradiction). From this I've heard some christians say that cancer and other forms of evil were necessary for our world to exist.On the whole benevolence thing, christians will argue that god defines what is good and is "good"ness by essence, which makes that if god gave cancer to children, it's actually le heckin wholesome good moment, like >>18200553 argues.
>>18199755Yes, we haven't always had the technology to make cancer more widespread and diverse, but it's something worth addressing morally.God isn't a person but a description of morality's origins.For most of history the answer to "why do bad things happen to innocent people" wasA) people are evilB)gods dont stop themOrA)gods are evilB)people cant stop themSo are people evil, is nature evil, or is evil an independent thing that participates in both?I think you'd really get a lot of benefit to some deeper philosophical confrontation with evil as a concept as opposed to just shitposting from the hip.
>>18201780If god is goodness by essence then eitherA)he isnt the one generating the cancerOrB)it demands more consideration. The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you
>>18201818>A)He still could be though. But that would make cancer good.
>>18201780The thing is that parts of the world can be greatly improved that doesnt seem to be logically impossible. Take suffering for example, if you just remove the experience of suffering and replaced it purpose of making us avoid things with an automatic response, reality would improve hundredfoldGet cancer and die? Well, atleast your life was enjoyable before it ended. Get tortured? Lmao, how? Burn alive? Very warm. Getting up from bed in the morning is hard? No its not. Working stresses you out? No it doesntIts basically a utopia
>>18201961That's option (b)
>>18201334lmao so you think you're a demon?And metallica has the best living drummer. But the best overall used to play for manowar
>>18201339>why doesn't God give all children cancerWhy should He? Everyone dies at the end, God has a lot of time >why sufferingto purify the soul
>>18199738What do you do to help kids with cancer?
>>18201979but then demons would have nothing to do and you'd get a call from their union rep
>>18201780God is definitely Omnipotent and infinitely GoodHe made the laws of physics and logic Cancer and other incurable diseases are our lot in life and most of them exist because of our lifestyle/pollution, genetic defects etc>inb4 ancient people got cancer genetic defects have existed for a long time >inb4 children diedand went to Heaven
>>18202618Why would god make it possible for there to even be genetic defects if he was all good? And if god were truly all powerful couldn't he limit his power? If he can then then he wouldn't be all powerful and if he cant he also wouldn't be all powerful.
>>18201747All responses to suffering are indeed forms of coping because that's all there is: coping mechanisms.What other response would you suggest?
>>18202618>Satan hates God & wants to destroy creation any way he can. >God sits around watching people deal with the consequences of accumulated sin. That's all you really need to explain suffering in the world: active malice and indifferent observation of human failure.
>>18201667If the bible were the infallible word of god then there wouldn't be any inconsistencies but there are. All 4 gospel give conflicting accounts of the resurrection and 2 gospels give conflicting genealogies for Jesus' lineage and thats just two of many more examples. If the bible cant follow the laws of logic which is grounded in god then the bible can be the word of god and cant convey metaphysical/epistemological truths therefore the Abrahamic worldview is false. Idc wtf job or any of those retarded jews claimed. This is a pathetic attempt to scream and cover your ears while doing the minimum amount of reasoning possible.
>>18202644your second question is nonsensicalit's like asking "can God make an object so heavy He can't lift"as for the first one, genetic defects are part of what is commonly called "natural evil" except in the case of excessive inbreeding where they're man-made https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_evilI am firmly in the Aquinas camp on this oneA Calvinist would obviously strongly disagreeeveryone else falls somewhere in between on the spectrum
>>18202654I think natural evil occurs for some unfathomable reason, but it is not God's WillIf demons cause it, which I think they do, they will answer on Judgement Day for all the evil they have done
>>18202683Natural Evil seems like a massive cope to me, especially the "permission, not will" distinction, which comes off as an attempt to evade responsibility for failing to counteract evil.If a cook at a restaurant fails to perfectly clean his station and someone gets sick as a result, it wasn't his will that the customer gets sick, but it was by his permission and is his responsibility.Personally, I don't think God's all that interested in human suffering one way or the other.
>>18202693I'm a Christian so I believe what Christ said about the Holy SpiritI think that God is involved in human affairs, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are but in a much worse place
>>18202697What do you consider intervention to be? What is it that the holy ghost does, day to day, to be considered involved in human affairs?
>>18202706speaks to believers, shows them the way, helps by making good things happen or bad things not happen depending on God's WillGod is always in control and has already won with Christ's ResurrectionThe Holy Ghost is here for our sake, not as God's vanguard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_ArkhipovIf this guy had gotten cancer in his childhood, we wouldn't be here
>>18199738God didn't do that, the parents and the country they live in did
>>18202734>God is always in control, has already wonWhat did Christ win?
>>18199738Because he's hecking based.
>>18202746Nothing for Himselfthe Kingdom of Heaven for us
>>18202755He didn't expel the devil and his demons from the earth, and did he remove sin nor its temporal consequences, just the eternal ones.I think Christ's blood was shed entirely so that God could tolerate direct contact with sinful man without compromising his holiness, as a kind of mediating factor.And I think this is the devil's world, the ownership of which God respects for some unknown reason.
>>18202768and he didn't remove sin**
>>18202768the eternal ones is a pretty big achievement considering we won't remember any of the sufferings of this lifeBut he also left us the Holy Spirit and everything good that happens or bad that doesn't happen is a consequence of the Holy Spirit Satan does not own this world, no matter what he trieshe fears the name of Christ, as do all unclean spirits
>>18202591Oh, the best of? In a rimbombant list concocted by people who cant listen to every band out there? I always like these commercially tilted lists
>>18201576Bc God and Christ ask you to, and you may want to please them. But you do you my anonymous brother
>>18202812Case in point, CoF, a very commercially inclined band, so it's very popular, and sonetimes shows up in top hue lists, but not always, as it's black metal and you cant show it certainly in some places. https://youtu.be/yadgRtWoCdg?si=RDkUnxGhEHm3k7QCPost any metallica song, Metallica's Master of Puppets ought be 100's times better, as they are oftenly top 10, not just top hundred. (If cradle manages).So, we can even claim religious persecution, which is a his-sensible topic. Here's Watain, less comercial than Filth and Metallica:https://youtu.be/79Ho1R71FHM?si=vRx4Bo5_lC6Ju0Okhttps://youtu.be/Y1cFrJid9A4?si=tl28dz-_DYJ6anDBThey are just first tracks on album, not curated by some list of top tens. So historically, wether you accept my religious belief that I have a lhp achievement that turned me into a tenebrous being, whats the reason (jews) for so many Deceitful top kek lists?
>>18201667>God made you to poop on your face while he rains champagne on me, no demiurges here. I think we left an archon alive on 4chan
>>18202768It's a blood pact, blood is shed to make a pact between you and demiurge, Demiurge gives you nothing and you bend over and give up your Spirit in the ultimate cuckoldry.
>>18202834See, this cuck enabler and his spiritual family are the reason I call myself a demon. First, it's left Hand Path, then gnosticism, horror based. Hell based.
>>18202648nothing, all you can do is cope because theres nothing elsesuicide is also a cope btw
