any time theodicy comes across my dash I get worked up and type like a couple thousands words of response before I remember that I'm too much of a communist to care about theodicy anymore
#i'm just as annoying about the trolley problem#yes I understand you're trying to make a theoretical point but I reject the fundamental premise you're working from#if you expect me to confront a problem without material analysis I don't really know what the use of it is#theology and philosophy are great but creating impossible situations in order to prove a point... doesn't#yeah I guess by your logic god isn't all powerful or whatever because you can't define good and evil without contradicting yourself#again. I'm a lapsed christian so I'm not out here arguing on god's behalf#but it's the moral indignation of being presented contradictory arguments that aren't defined#can you define a perfect world in which I do not have free will#the theodicy argument is like asking 'have you stopped beating your wife' and refusing to accept anything other than yes and no.
