If there is no self, but rather every being is an experience for the enrichment / leisure of God, then surely suffering is done to no one and the problem of evil vanishes, no? One cannot do evil to himself after all.A man's essence, his soul is the shape of the story his life tells, like a book or movie for God. There is not literally 8 billion consciousnesses but a singular One.Are there any political implications of this? Is this what is meant by doing to other as we would have others do unto us? Is the world a memetic CPU for the intellectual development of God?

The problem of evil only exists for religions that claim there is an all-powerful and all-benevolent God.Maybe there is no such thing, and some other religion or spiritual point of view is true.
>>524524596There is no godamd life itself is predatory and evil. Even entropy eats everything. When you die you rot in the ground. Thinking won't save you from the infinite blackness of death or make it just.

>>524525014This too, It only seems that way if you assume morality is a universal axiom, which it is not. The problem of evil does not exist; it only exists if you assume a religion.
>>524524596Even if that is the case you still experience it and your reality that is constructed around you is your real life. I don't like torment or pain, and I don't like other people going through torment or pain, so hell is bad. God doesn't factor in to how I feel about it.
