Post animals that instill a fear of dread into you, animals that tell you there is no god or if there is he's a sick bastard for making it.For instance, Cymothoa exigua, the tongue eating louse. It severs the blood vessels in a host's tongue making it rot and fall off, then, taking its place, feeds on the host's blood, mucus, and bits of whatever the fish eats.
>>5154680Meant to say a feeling of dread, but whatever.Also, obligitory sacculina carcini, the barnacle that castrates crabs and femenizes them.
Toad fliesThey lay their eggs near the nostrils of toads, the maggots then eat eat their way inside their sinuses while the frog is still alive and unable to pick them out. The end result can be pretty horrific

Natural evil is the consequence of creation being wounded by the Fall of Man. God didn't create parasites nor does the existence thereof contradict God's goodness.
>>5155987The book of genesis is wrong on purpose to test your faith. All of it is factually lies and only any good as a morality play. A lot of the bible is actually a test to see how insistent you are on believing in god even if churches canonize clearly inaccurate and contradictory information. God thinks its funny when people miss the message and think they get to go to heaven because they denied natural history and evolution>i defied the jews let me in already>you ate how much bacon?>but thats allo-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa…>It never was. >I love the trapdoor idea, peter. >Me too.
>>5155987Imagine getting the question of evil this wrongNothing in nature is evil. God ordained it all. The world didn’t change. You did. What wild animals do has no innate moral weight to it. You are the only one really being affected.
>muh evolutionNothing to do with moral theology, nitwit
>>5155994Sure satan
>>5155996Eden was a gift to two specific people. There was already a world outside of it with whole fucking cities and towns (where cain left to and took a wife). If you take it literally some tribe somewhere is literally god people and everyone else is an animal, with some of them being half satan half animal. If you take it metaphorically it’s about how even if man were created in perfection they wouldn’t be able to follow the simplest rule, and woman will always be the first to be deceived.
>>5155969>Toad fliesjesus that was horrifying
>>5155987So you're saying they evolved to become parasites after the fall of man?
>>5155987>God didn't create parasitesok who did then?>nor does the existence thereof contradict God's goodness.but i thought god created the world? so how did things like parasites get created in his world on his watch? was god passed out drunk?
>>5156001The hebrew gods idea of love is destroying your civilization and selling your people into slavery if you take the wrong day off. It comes from an ancient synthesized culture that is totally alien to yours. The hebrew bible predates widespread practice of the hebrew faith in ancient israel. It was cooked up by an ultra minority that distilled their philosophy into religiously justified law and took over their society.
>>5156000Yes>>5156001All these natural evils are obviously corruptions of God's original intention. When man sinned against God it wasn't just a moral failing but it also created a rupture in the time-space continuum or whatever and damaged creation itself which allowed evil to slip in through the cracks. Luckily for (you) God acknowledges the suffering of his creation and entered our fallen world by becoming a man himself in order to restore the cosmic order.
>>5156008There were already people living outside of eden. Also, all of christian theology is directly contradicted by jesus himself and largely supported by pauline epistles, a third of which probably werent even written by paul. You’re effectively finding and canonizing every excuse for grafting the pagan system (world of the broken god) onto the hebrew system (supervision of the supreme god). Kabbalists also do this.
>>5155969There are a lot of flies that do something similar. Various species of botflies have larvae that grow in the skin. They end up there by various methods but one is botflies attaching eggs to mosquitoes which then drop off onto an animal when the mosquito bites them. The larvae then use the mosquito bite as an entry point and burrow under the skin where they will stay as they grow.A species of these can and does infect humans and the fully grown larvae get pretty big and leave a gaping hope when removed. This can be relatively benign if the larvae are growing in the skin of the back or debilitating if the larvae are growing in the eye, which is common enough to have been given a specific scientific name, ophthalmomyiasis interna. If untreated this usually results in blindness.So a mosquito lands on your face while you're sleeping, you rub your eyes and rub the eggs into them, and pic related starts growing inside your eye until it causes enough organ damage to permanently blind you.
>>5156006did you reply to the wrong post because nothing you said answers any of my questions (which sadly is very typical for christkeks)>>5156008and you also answered none of my questions. you know just once i wish a christkek could discuss things in plain direct language instead of giving a novel of reacharound nonsense
>>5156027I did. God created parasites. His idea of love and goodness is alien to you. The entire violent natural world is not evil to God. It’s working exactly how he meant it to. internally consistent christianity is the total opposite of posthoc paganish christianity where you just need to profess faith, be some sort of good person, say sorry, and do rituals to have good karma I mean know jesus, because of some bullshit 13th apostle and centuries of pilpul councils (eventually resulting in excuses for returning to representing different things and ideas with many idols, but oh if you pray that the lesser god pray to the higher god or insist they’re the same god its totally different)Internally consistent christianity, with ideological contradictions removed, means the jews rejected their messiah for telling them to live a more charitable and ascetic lifestyle, despite the clear promise of freeing them from rome and subjugating the world beneath god, so now the challenge of being the chosen is open. Anyone can be a jew. But you still have to be a jew and keep all 613 commandments AND remember what jesus taught his 12 apostles. Which requires you to be such an ascetic that if you can not defeat lust you must excise it from your body physically. It’s an insanely difficult challenge that is guaranteed to pit families against each other and destroy nations, because it requires that the faithful become a nation and remain so indefinitely. Come the end only those who rise to this challenge will be spared plus 144,000 of the original Jews descendants. Most christians believe complete invented nonsense and since it was invented so long ago it never made any sense. Jesus was a Jew. The Hebrew God is the God of the Jews. To follow it you have to become a talmud-less Jew (whoever ignores the least of these laws will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven) otherwise the whole belief system is explicitly incoherent.
>schizos derailing another thread on the "Animals & Nature" board to argue about their personal interpretations of jewish fairytaleswe're long long past the point of needing a christianity containment board
>>5156043Tldr yes god is a sick bastard (to you) and the universe is a torture chamber (for you) (because you deserve it) and chriggers are retarded for believing otherwise (they are the people who deserve it)
>>5156012God is indeed the ultimate author of the botfly as a living creature but that doesn't mean God intended every aspect or feature the botfly exhibits in our fallen and corrupted world which includes its parasitic nature and the suffering it brings to other creatures.
>>5156045He did. He intended it all. All of it. Remember, eden was not the first world. It was a section of the second world, and there was already a world outside of it with towns and cities. Two perfect people were created in a perfect environment and they still fucked up.
>>5154680What if Satan rules the Earth and thus rules evolution? According to the Bible, Satan is described as the ruler of this world (John 12:31, 14:30; 2 Corinthians 4:4), but his authority is limited and permitted by God?Satan is limited to only changing Gods creations it cannot create new life. Therefore, all life used to be beautiful and lovable but then evolved into these brutal, sadistic creatures that eat things alive.Just a little food for thought if you are a believer.
>>5156049>corinthiansdisregarded>john 12:31Did not mention satan. Also uses the future tense. They will be driven out. >john 14:30> I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me.They are not here YET. He is referencing a future event, not an ongoing ruler. It was written 100 years after the messiah died but still if you take it in context it’s consistent. No, satan has not always controlled the world. That’s fucking ridiculous. He’s a limited punishment that is coming to the future world. A tool of God, like he always has been, to give the entire planet the Job treatment. Believing that he is an ongoing ruler is literally satanism.
>>5156037>lament how i wish christkeks could not reply with a novel of reacharound nonsense>replies with yet another novel of reacharound nonsensealso>yes god created this debilitating parasite that makes you go blind and driving you to insanity but you got infected with them becuz HE LUHS YOU!!!stopped reading after that. i don't why i still bother talking to your kind. you're all walking parodies.
>>5156057God’s idea of love includes a lot of terror and bloodshed. It’s very different from the mother goddess sort of love christians later grafted onto the hebrew religion. He’s more like a hardass dad who is okay with his weaker children being eaten by lions because it’s for the best.
>>5156057>AAAAAAA i left the land of milk and honey for the land of flesh eating maggots, and now my flesh is being eaten by maggots! How could god do this to me?Lol, said the lordAmen
>>5156061>be god>be omniscient and omnipresent>put Adam and Eve in paradise garden with fruit you don't want them to eat>knowingly let literally satan into garden to fuck with them>sit back and watch as they disobey you>all according to keikaku>punish your creations for doing what you already know what would've happenedYour god is a proper jackass then.
>>5156063Yes. And? He already knew you’d be a shithead and curse him too, so it was all leading up to retroactively saying “fuck you too buddy”.
Friendly reminder that parasites are incredibly important to the ecosystem. Most predators can only eat parasitized prey. Otherwise predators would have to be more fearsome and intelligent or prey would have to be even dumber and less complex resulting in a more fragile and overspecialized ecology, and the world would be a bit shittier all around instead of just sometimes if you eat raw meat, rub shit into your eyes, and bathe in pee.
