>NOTHING LE MATTERS
>>740304994You know he's the villain yeah?
>>740304994Correct. It's a genuinely interesting train of thought. The only thing that differentiates your existence with a bird being ravaged to death is a different branch of evolution and chance. If you, cosmically, are no different than every single microbe, bug, rodent, etc. that die by the trillions each day, what makes your existence worth doing? The universe sprang into being about 14 billion years ago, and will exist forever as a cold dark place after its own heat death for far longer than it had any light. And the only thing going on in it is murder sandboxes on each Goldilocks planet that will only exist as flashes in the pan before all life dies out. We'll never get any answers, and the only thing we can hope for is not dying asshole first. It's pretty fucking bleak man.
>>740305297Thank you for describing why a purely materialistic outlook is insane.inb4 the abrahamic cultists declare that to mean that their desert cults are the answer
>>740305413You just gotta cope with it until the Overman arrives.
>>740304994Congratulations on disagreeing with the main antagonist anon
>>740305297>if I can't live forever then why live at all?
>>740304994He just really liked hurting people and sewing misery and despair. You wouldn't get it. You clearly prefer to dwell on the positive, judging by this thread
>>740304994He’s literally me. Intelligent, nihilistic with a wicked sense of humor
>>740304994>insane experimental test subject pumped full of magic and transformed into a godlike entity says something that seems a bit off
>>740304994I’m da Jokah baby!
>>740305297>bleakI won't argue with you because there is no arguing with that. A fulfilled person will be grateful for existence and an unhappy person will see existence as a misfortune, and both will blame the universe and both will be right.
>>740304994yeah kefka is a pretty shit tier villain the only good thing about him is how he keeps backstabbing and raping everybody, but even then most of the time its just ass pulls.
>>740305297
>clown becomes a God>doesn't do anything funny
>>740305297Explaining life away as just a coincidence only works if you've never looked deeper into any aspect of it. Afraid you might find meaning, big boy?
>>740304994FF14 did it better
>>740304994
People really don't get that Kefka's existentialism was never genuine or philosophical. He's not that deep. It's more like the fleeting curiosity of a child, watching bugs squirm and keep trying to survive even as he pulls parts off of them. There was never any answer or deeper meaning to be found, no self reflection. He's just a psychopath who doesn't see any value in life or hope, besides the joy in taking them away.>>740306313My favorite thing about Kefka is how he rarely seemed to have any long term plan and wound up stumbling backward into ultimate power, just by being the biggest asshole he could at every opportunity. His biggest triumph was figuring out the statues before Gestahl's old ass did.
>>740305672That happens only because it's a simple good vs evil story. Kefka has no character
>>740306647He killed all the adults in a town and left all the children alone, and then sent an ancient ogre to terrorize them and eat them day after day. That's peak comedy
>>740306656What's the point looking for something that doesn't exist?
>>740305297If nothing matters then why doompost in the first place?
>>740304994Achshually this insane suicidal crashout is because the protagonists just shat all over his stupid edgelord worldview and he couldn't handle it.
>>740304994He was part of the same science experiment that made Celes and the other knights, only they fucked up with him and it drove him insane. Nothing he says should be taken as anything but the ravings of a madman who should've been put down long ago.
>>740304994>WAKU WAKU, HE LOOKS TOUGH! LET ME FIGHT HIM!
>"I take it this is your prey. But why does it still live? Surely it is no match for you. I assumed you would be above something so banal as despair."
>>740304994so did sams club baldy end up getting banned?
>>740304994Yes he's a nihilist and yes he's a retard. Kafka is mainly remembered for what he accomplished not his stupid personality
>>740306668FFXIV doesnt remotely try to do the same thingWhat you can say FFXIV did better than was Chains of Promathia, its basically the same story
>>740304994It was the 1990s, we hadn't even unlocked terrorism yet.Go easy on the Devs.The darkest thing we had was Kurt Cobain for Christ's sake.
>>740305297t. Kefka
>>740309140>What you can say FFXIV did better than was Chains of Promathia
>>740305297There are no answers>>740306656There's no bigger meaning. We as humans are the only ones who can create their own meaning. We don't need answers.
if "nothing matters" cuz we're all "going to die", then then the obvious answer is the pursuit of immortality and eternity, not suicide/omnicidefucking retard
>>740309436Human brains can't store infinite memories.
>>740305297>DUDE the universe is completely random, we're just here by chance!>also the universe has consistent rules that can be studied and repeated!
>>740309436>then then the obvious answer is the pursuit of immortality and eternityHence why religion exists. It offers comforts of immortality and eternity wrapped in the trappings of delusion. Nothing but a coping mechanism for the fear of death.
For those not following the ff14 world first race for Kefka's ultimate the phases are confirmed to be1: Vanilla kefka, pretty much same as savage with some little twists2: God Kefka that's mostly the same except for a truly fucked version of Forsaken3: Kefka realizes he's in a simulation and takes control of both exdeath and chaos, sics them on you while he changes his size values to become bighuge. All bosses mechanics going off while bighuge kefka elbow drops and tapdances on the arena4: Everyone goes into their second phase forms, exdeath and chaos now have the same question mark fake-out abilities as Kefka attached to their mechanics.5:Kefka fuses with them, becomes an evil magical girl parody for his final phase. No word on mechanics yet.

>>740309561Those two statements are not mutually exclusive.
>>740309540sounds like a skill isssue to metry harder>>740309563I mean real immortality, first biological then physical and once that's done start working on dealing with entropy
>>740309647They actually are.
>>740306313People cant see Kefkas just a psycho. All he is saying is>I am incapable of seeing value in anything other than my evil desires thus all that exists is nothing according to me
>>740305297Heat death is just a theory.
global relativism is the future
I'm from Israel and Kefkas got a wicked sense of humor just like me
>>740305297this is a teenage midwits first dabbling in philsophy's exesential nightmare. Once a person gets a little older they realize that even if their values and experiences are compeltely by chance and subjective, they still hold great meaning, and that constantly thinking about what if my life turned out differently and comparing yourself to others is not something that actually leads to anything philosophically. It is insecurity and paranoia mixed with depression masquarading as philosophy with a dash of sophistry..
>>740310163You talk like a fag.
>>740305297>About a year ago a new telescope disproved the big bang theory by seeing galaxies that shouldn't be there because they dont exist on the big bang radiation map.>This threw a bunch of scientific findings in the dumpster and the current most logical answer for the universe's exist is extremely juvenile "It just must have popped up at some point".>If you bring this up to an astrophysicist they become like dinosaur feather diniers, knowing its true but not really but not engaging with it because they don't understand it or like it.Your view is nihilistic anon everything wont become nothing forever there will forever be more.
>>740305297I am convinced the original Silent Hill 2 really is the greatest survival horror game of all time.
>>740305297>
>>740310320Maybe, but im not wrong. There is nothing to be gleamed or gained on any level by focusing so much on the fact that your chances of being human and thus being sentient were so small compared to being any other creature. All of this type of thinking literally only exists to demoralize people and to spread things like moral relativism.
stealth xiv thread
>>740308584Please go back to the death battle general, Jesus Christ.
>>740309561Universe is a machine with rules, sure, what does this say about us?
>>740305297nihilism is about as vapid as it gets
>>740310639no its not
>NOTHING LE MATTERS>Gets his ass beat>Says nothing as he disintegrates into dust???
>>740310796What's the contradiction? It doesn't matter
>>740310407Clock tower fucking destroys it.
>>740309540I've often wondered this in stories involving immortality or extremely long lives.Like, what would happen to someone's brain if you could make them live for thousands of years? Assume their body and brain remain in perfect physical health. No, plaque buildup or toxin or general wear and tear. Neurologically what might happen to memory? From what I've seen in the elderly they seem to cling to memories of their youth very strongly. But once we're talking millennia of life, surely some shit somehere needs to get extensively pruned since even with perfect health there isn't infinite capacity
What happens to the existence of the universe if life dies?
>>740310796he literally won. he shattered the world and with his death magic vanished from the world
>>740304994Why does he dress like a clown?
>>740310893A human brain would start to go insane after living that long, as they did not evolve to experience existence or living for such a long time. Even if their brain was perfectly healthy, the boredom alone would cause extreme problems in the psyche.
>>740311016Maybe your weak brain would. Superior beings such as I would have no problem with eternal life.
>>740310893Thor in the comics says that every major event in his life feels shorter than it actually was. His time with the avengers was closer to summer vacation than 15+ years of fighting literally everything.
>>740310893I think it would like a computer, you're start to clean space for new memories.Human brain can store around 2 petabytes
>>740310893The question is partially nonsensical - you're turning off rules for all parts of the body except for the brain. But you can probably look at anterograde amnesia as an answer. Anterograde amnesia is the inability to create new long term memories. It's far more common than retrograde, which is where you forget old memories and is more popular in media. Probably the brain would just struggle and eventually fail to create new long term memory. So, likely a horror story where you wake up every day and the world around you is gradually vastly more different than when you went to sleep, maybe with some new memory fragments here and there.
>>740311067I cant tell if you are shitposting or unbelievably delusional.
>>740310893what do dogs think of human lifespans
>>740310969Probably nothing, but we humans are the only known lifeform who can observe the universe. The universe observes itself through us
>>740311008>get hired as court advisor>emperor tells you to wear whatever you want>wear everything at onceHELP ME BELIEVEIT'S NOT THE REAL ME
>>740311121The only delusional take is you believing your own brain's limitations are the same as everyone else's.In a manner of speaking, everyone has "lived" for as long as "living" has existed. But you aren't ready for that knowledge yet. You're sure to call this "schizo" faster than you'd call actual schizophrenic behavior.
>>740304994I feel as though people who think Kefka “won” completely misunderstood FFVI’s plot and themes. Kefka loses precisely because humanity still survives, has hope and a desire to live even after an apocalyptic event. The party’s very existence and the fact that people are having children proves Kefka wrong. It would be more accurate to say that Kefka got very close to winning, but lost at the eleventh hour thanks to friendship and love. Also, every villain in the series after Kefka also gets similarly close to winning, but fails at the last hurdle, so he’s not special in that regard.
>>740311008as I recall he was a jester, then the emperor stuck him in a tube and pumped him full of magic kind of for gags and kind of for science
>>740311280Solipsism isn't as groundbreaking as you think it is.
>>740304994That's Kefka for you. FFVI is an ensemble cast game, and Kefka's story is the last you get to hear. It's a direct contradiction to everyone else finding meaning in others, and they will probably never see eye to eye. All they can do is end it for him, just to make a point, even if killing the god of magic fucks the world over.(Also, the way it plays out leaves a pretty strong indication that he's taunting you because he wants to die)
>>740311431>(Also, the way it plays out leaves a pretty strong indication that he's taunting you because he wants to die)lol no, he has a melty because everyone else found meaning and he can't so he decides to destroy it all out of spite.
>>740311303Remind me, didn't Kuja just nuke the party and himself, then Necron appeared from...somewhere.
>>740311673necron is an equivalent to the cloud of darkness, but death aspected instead of light/dark. he's a force of nature. he was responding to a fervent desire to die (trance kuja destroying the crystal)he's unironically explained better in ff14
>>740311280i cant even give you a 1/10 sorry anon you sound like a child who thinks they are much smarter than they actually are. Truly intelligent people are often extremely humble and show humility because they start to understand how little they actually know. You are literally the prime example of why the dunning-kreuger effect can be graphed so easily.
>>740311303they found meaning in a stagnate world since his death means the end of magic. no more healing your loved ones from death, no more tech, every magical animal or flower dies. it's just humans in a mundane world
>>740304994Kefka actually doesn't call them worthless in Japanese.「命…夢…希望…どこから来て どこへ行く?そんなものは…このわたしが破壊する!"Life...dreams...hope...Where do they come from, and where do they go?Those are all things that I'll destroy!"Woolsey really fucked this games translation. This error is relatively small but others completely change the context of a scene and changes characters.
>>740311887That's already how most of them were living anyway. Magic in FFVI's world was hidden for thousands of years until Gestahl began magitek research less than 20 years before the game.
>>740305297Saw this the other day. Not that I agree with it but it was interesting to read.
>>740306775zenos is anhedonic, not nihilistic
>>740304994My theory is that when Kefka became a god in FFVI, he broke the 4th wall and discovered that he's nothing more than a programmed character in a video game, and that everyone's existence and struggles are ultimately meaningless. Even his attempt to destroy everything is meaningless because not only he's destined to fail and be defeated by the heroes, but also their world and stories will end once the credits roll anyway. This revelation has driven him further to madness. So in his mind, he might as well simply play the part as that's what a clown does; he performs for the audience.
>>740312165Stupid theory considering him being a nihilist was added in the translation and isn't in Japanese
>>740311942>this guy who had 3 months to translate the entire game alone with memory and character limitations to consider really botched this whole game because he was explicit about what was only an implicationCan you faggots just die?
>>740308684I miss him and his autistic fat ass.
>>740312243Got no uses for excuses.
>>740310406>they become like dinosaur feather diniersIt's not quite the same. Those astrophysicists are in denial because they're afraid of chance, I don't acknowledge dinosaur feathers because the scaled ones are cooler.
>>740312043they didnt exactly win anything since their choice was to live under the rule of an insane idiot god or kill god and remove everything that made the world magical. the new meaning they found was because survival shifted from relying on the gods (what every magical and non magical being relied on) to depending on each other since without magic everyone become equal
>>740312243I'd read he only got one month
>>740312243I know the situation he was in. It was still an extremely shitty translation and I'm sure he'd agree.
>>740312198This is all in context to how he's portrayed in modern appearances. Intentions can change over time. Kefka wasn't even clownish in the original, but that became his interpretation over time.
>>740304994"meaning" is a dualistic system of values that categorizes experiences under the presumption of finality. the soul itself is immortal, therefore infinite, something that the human brain cannot comprehend.you are welcome
>>740310406Wrong.
>>740310650Typically chaotic systems don't organize themselves into non chaotic systems. It lends to the idea that our system is in fact, not chaotic, and was designed.
>>740312243>an implicationNo. Kafka destroying everything because he's just a nihilist is different from him destroying everything because he intentionally wants to cause harm and suffering. Everything in the game indicates Kefka's motivations are the latter
>>740312243>its ok if you did a shitty job if you were rushedNo, sorry. Refuse to do it if you dont have enough time. Have some fucking respect for the material you are translating or , if we take this in a more general idea, the material you are creating. Obsidian also loves to claim they didnt have enough time to make nu vegas and kotor 2 but why didnt they just completely refuse to do it unless they were given more time? Because they valued getting paid above art. And because of that, we are always stuck with really shitty fucking art from people like this.
>>740312243it should be illegal to translate Japanese games. learn the language or fuck off.
>>740309375he's right
>>740312327Not every dinosaur had feathers, just like crocodiles don't.
>>740307219Because it doesn't matter, so why not?
>>740304994If nothing matters the logical choice for kefka should be to turn the ff6 planet into a debris field floating in space for near eternity.
>>740312609He's retarded and so are you.
>>740305297works in my machine
>>740307219Because I choose to.
>>740309587Is this true? I thought people were still stuck in p3.Also that sounds fucked up.Where is pixel Kefka, though?>>740309628Nobody asked your opinion albeit.
>>740305297Wrong, the universe has always existed and we (European races) are meant to become its gods.
>>740306809I’d also say that every villain doesn’t need to be deep or philosophical with some ”actually, he has a point” twist. Kefka is a shameless asshole and hateful psycho, and that’s all he needs to be to be a good villain.
>>740305297What being a NEET does to a mf
>>740312648he doesnt want a final end or to rule a kingdom. he wanted to play with his new toys
>>740312549>AI answer
>>740307053Humbaba doesn't work for Kefka.Humbaba is just an ancient evil that got released due to the Earth being split open when it became World of Ruin.
>>740305297>describes winning ten lotteries on top of one another>says that’s sadExistence really is wasted on a lot of you.
>>740304994>Kefka, the worst FF villain, has shitty shallow motivationsI'm shocked
>>740311394Concession accepted.>>740311882Imagine being so assblasted you pull out dunning-krueger where it doesn't apply and start spewing some bullshit you read online about how "every smart person acts this way because I say so". Cattle behavior.
>>740311942"Life...dreams...hope...Where do they come from, and where do they go?Where do they come from cottoneye joe"
>>740312858Lmfao
>>740305297>WAAAH MY EXISTENCE HAD ONLY MEANING IF IT HAS ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES!!!
>>740312563Every molecule in the universe has structure. Random chance doesn't mean nothing makes any sense.
>>740312678Nah, he's right and you're sneething.
>>740312845The worst FF villains are the ones that only show up at the end to be obligatory final bosses.
>>740311942>>740312564>>740312584「それさえもいずれは滅ぶ。 なぜ滅ぶとわかりきっているのに またつくる? 死ぬとわかっていて なぜ生きようとする? 死ねば全て無になってしまうのに。Kill yourself.
>>740311528There's something tragic about that part of Kefka. When he's ruling the WoR with sustained fear and cruelty, he's chasing the closest thing to meaning he can think of. As much as he tries to pretend otherwise by acting grandiose and calling himself a god, he still has a human psyche, and his mental stability depends on having other people to take his insanity out on in some way. The part where all the protagonists meet him again in the tower is probably the first time he's actually seen someone in a long time. He clearly looked forward to it, too. And it goes so incredibly bad for him he just snaps completely. Even his comeback right then is really lame.
>>740309398the fact that we can create meaning must be meaningfulI mean it's pretty interesting to think that the laws of the universe shaped us in this way, and that it's beneficial
>>740312549>Our theory isn't wrong>The uh, physics of the universe were just different!Ok. Come on now...You can come up with all sorts of fuckery if your excuses for your theory being wrong can be brushed away by explaining that physics were just different.Also keep in mind, a "best supported model" doesn't equate to a GOOD model. Similarly to how IQ is the best predictor of a persons life, it doesn't mean it's a GOOD predictor, it's just that it's the best one we have until something better is discovered.
>>740309540Then I add extra storage to my brain using my biological immortality.

>>740304994Can anyone remind me why they decided to give him 4th wall awareness starting with the Dissidia games?

>>740313416I think it was more reasonable with Gilgamesh due to him traveling through dimensions. Kefka just feels cheap, like those bad Deadpool stories made in the mid-2010s in order to capitalize on the success of the character.

Also the game does not have much story in the first place, so even that twist is surprising.*ZeromusCompletely fair, FF4 is bad AND unfinished, there was supposed to be an entire moon world, but instead all we get is surprise alien from outer space. *UltimeciaBrought up from about halfway through the game, and also is Rinoa in the first place, game is a fated circle.*NecronPersonally unmentioned, but embodies the themes of the game. Possibly referred to with the tree and all.*Yu YevonCome on now, the entire game was about him. He is a shitty boss mechanicaly, we all know the real final boss was Braska's Final Aeon, but you can't say Yu Yevon was out of nowhere.*OrphanI guess?
Can we agree that this is the hardest ultimate so far?
desu i think kuja is the most nothing villain of the series. his whole arc ends with what could be described as a child's temper tantrum.
>>740313932It seems that way. What a nuthouse of an ultimate.Guess people had it coming after they bitched about FRU being too easy.
>>740313945god i forgot about the filter.
>>740313812>He's literally the first boss in the game. Also the game does not have much story in the first place, so even that twist is surprising.It's more of a case of Squaresoft back in the day having the "rescue the princess from the evil knight" D&D adventure be the starting mission to surprise the player with what was awaiting them afterward. But otherwise, Chaos is not mentioned once and you're not given a hint that there's someone allied/controlling the Fiends until the end, which as you said, was done for the sake of the twist. I'm more forgiving on the principle it was the first in the franchise and was very unusal writing at the time, but it's still a final boss that comes out of nowhere.
>>740313812Xande
>>740312243woolsey is a hack
>>740309859Gravity is "just a theory" as well. That isn't the defense you think it is.
>>740313812NTA and I think you are right on most of your arguments but the inciting argument here was someone saying that the worst FF final bosses are the ones that just show up of nowhere and while you can argue that Necron still embodies the themes of the game he is still literally just a boss that shows up out of nowhere and is a valid answer to the demand to "name 1 villain" who fits that criteria.
>>740304994>>740306809>>740309587
so pic related wasnt a phase but probably the end of the fight result? Or MAYBE this fight has 6 phases? Would be cool
>>740312243If that was truly the case Square should have made an effort to have subsequent versions of the game receive better translations, but not only that didn't happen, people started praising the sloppy job Woolsey did, so pardon me for not sharing the sentiment.
>>740312794This is one of the few things AI is actually good at. You're full of shit and took a retard community's words at face value.
>>740313190>NecronThe only one that even fits.
>>740309859>>740314079you guys are mixing hypothesis and theory
>>740313017Ultros crashing the opera was them making fun of themselves doing this, or at least that's how it seemed to me
>>740314202You are a jeet or an AI yourself.
>>740314202A lot of the seethe that anons have for AI is rooted in the truth that they can't flim flam retards with their hot schizo takes on hard sciences nearly as effectively as they could before.
grok is this true

>>740312549Don't ask ai and you'll find that the CMB no longer matches what we have actually observed. Galaxies are brighter, bigger and most strikingly more abundant then they should be. The bandaid excuse for this is the big bang must have been bigger and bangier then we thought! But that doesn't make sense because the theory is based off and hinges on the CMB. Also YES some scientists are upset about it (like Neil Degrasse Tyson) because it basically mean they are back square one and have a shit load of work to do.
>>740314440An LLM is useful only if you stop treating it like an oracle and start treating it like a processor.If you use AI to tell you what is objectively true, it is useless. If you use it to manipulate, reformat, or generate permutations of information you already understand, it is highly efficient.Where the Utility Actually Is1. Frictionless Synthesis and ReformattingAI excels at structural transformation because syntax and grammar are purely statistical.Examples: Turning raw meeting notes into a clean bulleted list, converting code from Python to JavaScript, or extracting key themes from a 50-page document you provide.Why it works: You supply the source truth; the AI just handles the tedious labor of formatting.2. A "Rubber Duck" for BrainstormingThe mirroring effect that makes AI bad at objective truth makes it excellent for divergent thinking.Examples: Generating 50 variations of a product name, finding edge cases in a software architecture plan, or playing devil's advocate against your own arguments.Why it works: It acts as a massive, instant index of cultural and linguistic associations. It doesn't need to be "right" to spark an idea you hadn't considered.3. Pattern Recognition in Coding and LogicCode is deterministic and heavily documented online, making its statistical patterns highly reliable.Examples: Writing boilerplate code, identifying syntax errors, or explaining what a complex, undocumented function does.Why it works: Programming languages have rigid rules, reducing the surface area for hallucinations compared to open-ended human history or philosophy.The Bottom Line: AI is a tireless, highly articulate intern with no common sense and a tendency to lie when cornered. If you don't verify its output, it is a liability. If you direct it precisely and audit its work, it eliminates hours of mechanical cognitive labor.

/v/'s recent contrarian penchant against Kefka as a character is something I don't quite understand. What exactly is it about his characterization, presentation, or role within the narrative that makes people here want to label him a bad villain?>he is not morally complex! His justifications are stupid and he is easily proven to be pathetic!Ok, and? This is a game for children. And besides, how much gray morality you can attribute to the villain in your story is not directly linked with good writing or "complexity".

The fact that you have a response at all to it means that thematically, the design is working.

>>740305297It's funny how defensive people get over a pretty inoffensive and objective summary of our existence. They really want life to have some intrinsic purpose, but the only meaning that exists is the one you apply to it.I, personally, believe our greatest purpose is to endeavor to branch off this planet to exist long enough just for the possibility to unravel every last secret of the universe.
>>740304994Is this the most vapid trope ever?>everything is pointless, struggle is meaningless>actually this padded out self fellating drama justifies our existence so we'll kill you by mashing attack and doing 9999 damage 400 times a turnNo meaning in the struggle, because the journey to the end was a braindead melodrama with no gameplay. Like if you look at like ketsui kizuna jigoku tachi, there's a theme of resolve and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. The definition of ketsui is quite literally to commit to a path and never look back, to make a final stand in the face of death devoid of hesitation or self-preservation instinct, the warrior mindset. The struggle on the path is what gives that journey meaning and grows character, and the player can experience that first hand as they push through a seemingly impossible task. And as you enter the final stage you know you've grown as the music stops being bleak and becomes a funky groove as your resolve hardens and you pull off the impossible.https://youtu.be/ZYcFBpG0AXg

>>740316584>Though in TOP's case, it was at least bugged pretty considerably, no?yeah it had issues, IIRC the boss would randomly ignore aggro and target healers in P3 and then the whole buff cap thing (which is not strictly a TOP issue but a problem in the game as a whole)
>>740317040Project harder, son of a whore.
>>740316681>>740316791for me a distinction should be made between believing in a personal God who watches us and judges us, and a God who exists, has created us, but is completely neutral and does not want to be prayed to. In short, between a god to whom you must submit and a God as pure nature, if tomorrow we discovered that God really exists, but is precisely devoid of will or judgment, would it be fine for the faithful just the same?

>>7403193171 - Because the Bible presents God as a single divine being. Christians accept this through trust in biblical revelation. It is not something that can be proven scientifically; it is a belief based on faith and the interpretation of Scripture.2 - Because the Bible describes Satan as a being created by God who rebelled against Him. Therefore, God and Satan have different natures, characters, and purposes, and are distinct beings.3 - Because, according to the Bible, God demonstrates love and concern for human beings, culminating in the sacrifice of Jesus. In Christian logic, someone who gives their own life to save others is not simply playing games with them.4 - Because the entire biblical narrative revolves around God's relationship with human beings: creation, care, guidance, salvation, and the promise of restoration. For Christians, this is evidence of divine interest in humanity.5 - Christianity does not explicitly teach about extraterrestrial life. The Bible was written for humanity and specifically addresses the plan of salvation for Earth. Therefore, it is not a matter of favoritism, but of the focus of the message.6 - Because Christians believe that God inspired the biblical authors. The Christian argument often points to the unity of the biblical message, its prophecies, its historical influence, and the personal experience of believers. However, it is true that, ultimately, this involves accepting the Bible's own claim and the evidence considered by believers.7 - The Christian response is that God is not seen as a created being nor as part of the universe. He is considered an eternal and necessary being, while animals and the universe are considered contingent, that is, dependent on a cause for their existence. Therefore, Christianity affirms that God does not need a creator, but creation does. Those who argue that the universe or life has always existed are proposing a different explanation for the origin of things.

But such would be life.
>>740320089A perfect being must be good by definition because that's what perfection means.
