        "religion bad" is too broad of a statement. Like yeah some christian or muslim harassing queers in the streets on london is bad. But I don't think your average stoner daoist bro is hurting anybody. Also saying that "religion is bad because it's false" is very arrogant. Atheists assume that all that exists can be proved in a lab enviornment. Personally I'm a spiritualist, I believe the world is "spooky" and that there's weird supernatural shit out there but I don't believe in some all-knowing, all-judging sky-cop.

            Sin is something God permits to occur by human free will which he is constantly turning to higher ends. He manifestly does not want to want to punish anyone, because he died on the Cross to offer salvation freely to us. God does not "demand worship" or impose some heteronomous set of rules upon us. God calls you to love him, that is, love itself, the ground of being, the source of everything that exists, of all goods, and through the principled love of good itself to love all men and other creatures. When God insists that you follow him, when God punishes sin, he does so because to reject him is to reject the principle of agapic love itself and practice idolatry, to make some lesser good the highest good. Sin is violence against ourselves, against our own nature, and against the community. That is why God takes it seriously. God has expressed his desire to save the whole world through Christ. If there is an eternal hell in which men will be damned, it will be because men have rejected what is right. But in all likelihood, because God is mighty and loving, we will all be saved in the end. I invite you to live with love of God, with love of the source of all things, at the center of your life, and to struggle against evil with the greatest possible hope in your heart.

            God created a world he knew would fall into sin because he knew he could save it. He achieves this end without trampling on human freedom. He wills that the highest good, the world of perfect community, is achieved in part by contingent causes. The end is determinate, but the means undetermined. God does not give little children cancer except in the sense that he upholds the world in being even though it is in sin, and death, disease, and decay enter into the world because of sin, because the world has been alienated from God, who is the source of all being and life. God has shown that he is not interested in arbitrarily punishing people in the Cross. Instead of reflecting on logic puzzles about the relation between God's providence and particular instances of suffering, look to the Cross, where God tells you "I care and I have saved you." Where he speaks clearly. Look to the Sacraments, where he offers himself freely always.

            God did not create cancer. Cancer is a deficiency in the world which results from sin.

            Don't think about sin just as a personal guilt issue. Sin is a disease which has marred the entire world. If you read the Genesis narrative, veganism was the norm before Noah. Animals were not by God's original intention to die or be killed. Nobody was, nothing was. Everything was to be in eternal, loving harmony. Children are born, as the products of their parents, inheriting fallen nature, with physical deficiencies and disabilities. This is not what God wants for us. Man was intended to be priestly steward of all creation, to lovingly care for all things. Through the Fall of man, all creation has been cursed; our physical nature, and the physical nature of all things as well. Cancer is a "natural evil," not a moral one. The redemption of man means the redemption of all things. God --> Man --> Nature.

            My friend, philosophical logic puzzles about providence and evil are not reason to reject hope. God screams out through the Cross that he cares. The Bible tells us that the world was created good, is still basically good, though ill, and will be delivered from this illness, called sin, its alienation from itself, restored to original glory, and energized so as to move beyond that glory into the infinite depths of holiness.

            god created the universe, and all things in it. God created humans the way they are, down to the most precise function. God then must have created sin, created cancer, as he created all things.

            Cancer is not a thing God created. Cancer is an aberration. Cancer is a malfunction in creation, and things malfunction because of sin.God created humans to live forever, not to die miserably.

            Is God like Tinker Bell or something? Except instead of dying, when people stop believing in him kids get cancer. Deep.

            God is the ground of being. God is the pure act of being itself. To be alienated from God is to have less of being, to be removed from your own essence, to be sick with sin. It's not magic.

            The Fall transformed natural law. The world that is available to scientific investigation is not the world of perfect and harmonious existence which predates it. Eden is not a literally discoverable garden somewhere in the Middle East, but a completely different state of being. Modern theologians, especially in the Anglican and Orthodox traditions, have been emphasizing this point in recent history.

            Yes, the Fall of men was a possibility latent within the free will of man which occurred contingently. God foreknew this would happen, what man would choose, but did not decide this would be reason enough not to create. I believe that God permits and even uses evil, turning it to good, but he is not its ultimate cause. God is our savior.

            If your god is the author of the authors of evil, he’d be their ultimate author. If I propagandized a child from birth to commit a mass shooting and they did, I’d be rightly held as responsible. And isn’t it interesting you think your god is an ends-justify-the-means utilitarian?

            God doesn't condition people to sin. People sin freely. We inherit a propensity to sin on account of the original sin which got us cast out of Eden. God isn't thinking in terms of the utilitarian pleasure calculus, he's thinking in terms of saving and sharing himself with his loved ones, us. The glory of eternity justifies fallen history. You could argue this is broadly "consequentialist," maybe, but I'd just say God isn't a deontologist. Virtue ethicists consider consequence, too.

            The joy of eternal life is not a calculable, animal "pleasure," but an abiding joy in which there can be highs and lows. Despair is rubbed out, though. God did not "make sin." Sin is nothing other than deficiency, a failure to be what God intends us to be. God creates human nature, we deviate from human nature by our free will. God created us knowing that we would freely and contingently choose sin. He did not override our free will, but instead has chosen to save us within the scope of the world it has created. And I do firmly believe that this world, considered in relation to the whole, is the best of all possible worlds. The world in which there is both freedom and eternal salvation, this is the best. God would not allow there to be evil unnecessarily, so as there was a fall and there is sin we can infer that it is better that we are going through this trial called history than it would be if we weren't.

Could he choose to stray from his own nature? Is that perhaps what he does when he creates Satan and sin and bone cancer and worms that eat the eyes of children, only to come back and say “I’ve changed, baby, that wasn’t me, keep worshipping me!!!”?

            I don't think a radical affirmation of the world is "cope." I think telling yourself the world you live in is an inferior, meaningless chaos is misanthropic and violent. God created a world in which there was a potency for evil. That doesn't make him "responsible for" or the "creator of" evil. It makes him the creator of people who choose evil. Human beings participate in one universal essence which resides in the mind of God. God's nature simply is goodness beyond comprehension. I think the mocking tone is unnecessary.

You cannot just substitute corporations for primal human spiritual and social reality. "Religion," however the hell you define that maximally nebulous term, has been used to oppress people because it has been the center of human life itself for millennia. It has also been the source of human liberation and creative endeavor. Plenty of murderous atheistic regimes you can highlight in the 20th century. Problem isn't "religion," it's sin. It's hate.

            I don't know what to tell you, dude. We've agreed in substance, I think, you just don't like my language. God does not do anything evil. God creates people who he knows will choose evil. He thinks "this is not reason to halt my act of creation, because I can save them without undoing their freedom." God creates a world which is better than a static world of order without life, a world in which there is both freedom and order, a vital unity in complexity. God is "responsible" and "creator" only in the very specific sense that he created and upholds the world in general. Every individual act of evil, every instance of ill will, is free human choice.

            In addition, you claim that the creation of evil will be worth it because of a perfect world you have been promised, and the "test of history" can be redeemed. This promise only helps you ignore the immense evil of a fallen world. Every death, disease and misfortune results from God's decision and is His sin to bear. You may choose to look to your promised world and call God a savior, but a yet unfulfilled promise does not redeem all the sin of the world; His sin.

            Do you believe that omnipotence implies that God can create a world which is logically impossible? That literally makes no sense? How can God create a world which is free and ordered but also not free? And do you really want a world in which there is no freedom? In which there is no possibility to choose otherwise? Because a freedom which does not contain within it the possibility to choose otherwise is no freedom at all. God has sinned not at all. He has given us an incredible gift which we abuse.

            It fails to explain evil.

            Everything that exists is good, basically. Evil is literally just privation. Sinners do not cease to be God's good creation. Evil is shocking because it is a debasing of a world which is wonderful. A maiming of its potential. Disorder. It's not a substance.

            You're trying to capture God in some limiting notion.
            God is above your concept of logic, of good and evil, and ironically also above your very concept of God itself.

            It's reasonable to speak of a God above God, who stands above all analogical language. But it is not right to say that we cannot speak of him at all or that his essence is irrational; that is, without definition; that is, nothing. God is infinite and incomprehensible but not senseless. Simple, not null. The actions absolutely are disordered because goods ought to be pursued in proper proportion. Making my dog my God is a violence against myself and against my neighbor. A dog cannot satisfy my spiritual needs, and breaking faith with the rest of the world and violating the unity of the community of prayer is a problem. Natural evil is a result of the metahistorical Fall. The redemption of man means the redemption of all creation. Jesus Christ is a cosmic savior. Change does not have to come from violence. The eschaton in Christian understanding is not static in the absence of sin, but infinitely progressing further in holiness.

            That is not what irrationality means.
            The mere notion that "logic flows from God" or is "internal to the divine nature" is just a flowery way of equating God with logic and then pretending you totally didn't do that.
            God fundamentally transcends these flawed human concepts.
            >The actions absolutely are disordered because goods ought to be pursued in proper proportion.
            You stated that all that exists is good.
            This also applies to disorder, disharmony and chaos.
            If being disordered and disproportional is good, how is it evil?
            Is it evil because it is hated by God, or is it hated by God because it is evil?
            >A dog cannot satisfy my spiritual needs
            Neither does a man. yet here we are :^)
            >Natural evil is a result of the metahistorical Fall
            You cannot have the Fall of Man, because that'd require either Adam and Eve to not have had free will (and thus be forced into sin), or to concede that it is in fact possible to have both free will without the presence of good or evil.
            >Change does not have to come from violence.
            Yet it clearly does, which must be as God intended.

            God is not reducible to logic but all truth claims participate in fundamental truth, in the logic of the divine essence. The irrational is literally nothing. That which in principle cannot be thought is not real. God knows himself in an immediate act of intuition and is real.
            There are greater and lesser goods, gradations of being. Things are good in spite of their being disordered, not because of it. They still participate to some degree in the original harmony. If they did not, they would not exist. Clever, but Jesus can certainly satisfy your spiritual needs, because he is both your king and brother, at hand and beyond your control. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is symbolic of royal divine authority, of the ability judge worthwhile from worthless as God did in his ordering of primal chaos in the Genesis accounts. It is not the case that Adam and Eve are presented in the story as not knowing God's command. They knew his command, they knew their duty. They knew good. They decided, however, to try to exalt themselves to the place of God. That is the fundamental problem in the Genesis narrative. Idolatry. The root problem of all sin. Change can come from cooperation and mutual love. I don't buy into your weird Heraclitean metaphysics.

            Logic is far broader than you think, and, more importantly, never justifies itself; it merely is.
            In that sense I suppose it is closer to God than morality.
            >That which in principle cannot be thought is not real.
            Mankind has a very limited imagination.
            >Things are good in spite of their being disordered, not because of it.
            So, all components of evil are actually varying degrees of good, which makes them evil, unlike good, which is also comprised of varying degrees of goods.
            Yet one is "good" and one is "bad" because of some sort of "disorder" that cannot actually be rationally deduced from the actions or intentions themselves, meaning it is an unnecessary complexity that the catholic theologian William of Ockham would deem "utterly pointless".
            >Clever, but Jesus can certainly satisfy your spiritual needs
            The concept of God I adhere has no need for saviors, as he has no need to save.
            >the ability judge worthwhile from worthless
            Same thing different name. The problem remains.
            >It is not the case that Adam and Eve are presented in the story as not knowing God's command. They knew his command, they knew their duty.
            But they did not in fact know good. It's not the tree of knowledge of evil, but good AND evil.
            >They decided, however, to try to exalt themselves to the place of God.
            Were they not deceived by a creature that is fundamentally unable to do wrong?

            Creaturely minds are not the only minds. The truest mind is the divine mind, which grasps itself intuitively. Degrees of goodness are degrees of being. Evil is when a creature does not participate in the grade of being that is proper to it according to the divine intention, according to the essence of the thing held in the divine mind. A disordered affection keeps a thing from performing its proper function, from truly being itself. It diminishes it, debases it. It does not destroy it, it still participates in some goodness, or else it would not exist, but it is evil in the sense that it is not what it ought to be. Affections can be known to be disordered because the natures of things can be grasped by the intellect (though not fully, in their infinite relation to every other nature) through divine illumination. We can know what man is, what man is for, and thereby know where his heart should be. The same is the case in principle for every other kind of thing. We can know essences as far it is useful for us to know them. We can know what it is for a thing to flourish and what it is for it to rot. The cosmos is according to divine intention an ordered whole.
            The difference is significant, because you read "Knowledge of Good and Evil" as implying an ignorance on the part of Adam and Eve of the will of God, which is manifestly not what the narrative itself is communicating. God has given them a commandment, which they grasp. The identification of the serpent with Satan was not invented at the time of Paradise Lost. It is the result of proper evangelical exegesis of the Old Testament which sees a typological unity of the entire inspired canon.

            How the hell does that allegory work the way you said when in the story man was created perfect but fricked things up, falling, not rising up above other animals

            Your literary comprehension is pretty trash if you miss the metaphors in genesis.

            Don't think about sin just as a personal guilt issue. Sin is a disease which has marred the entire world. If you read the Genesis narrative, veganism was the norm before Noah. Animals were not by God's original intention to die or be killed. Nobody was, nothing was. Everything was to be in eternal, loving harmony. Children are born, as the products of their parents, inheriting fallen nature, with physical deficiencies and disabilities. This is not what God wants for us. Man was intended to be priestly steward of all creation, to lovingly care for all things. Through the Fall of man, all creation has been cursed; our physical nature, and the physical nature of all things as well. Cancer is a "natural evil," not a moral one. The redemption of man means the redemption of all things. God --> Man --> Nature.

            Holding an innocent accountable for someone else’s crime isn’t justice. This is why nobody takes reparations seriously.

It's an inherited corruption of nature, at its most basic level. Whether or not there's an inherited guilt, a shared participation in the metahistorical original sin, is a matter of debate.

            and my gripe with European and American submission to abrahamic religions is whites submitting to the slave morality of a collection of ethnic groups that aren’t even originally European. While the israelites are responsible for the success of modern Europe (as most of the financiers of Portuguese, Spanish, French, Dutch, and Anglo colonialism were israelites) and Christianity was undeniably useful for pulling Europeans away from the bloody and violent morality inherent to pagan cultures, it doesn’t change the fact that the systems that rule modern whites are innately foreign to us, which is why we’re all so disconnected and dissatisfied with our own culture.

            When Christians claim that God is omnipotent, we are not claiming that he can do the literally nonsensical. Truth is something internal to God's own nature. There are actions which are evil, but they are evil in the specific sense that they are disordered pursuits of lesser goods. Idolatries. They really do harm, but do not make the world basically bad. It is still a basically good place, just very sick. Less than itself.

            But regardless, to claim God cannot do the impossible is to limit God.

            Aside from the fact that this implicitly shifts "evil" from behavior to intention (which allows one to perform everything deemed "evil" because it's no longer tied to the action being performed), you literally just said that
            >Everything that exists is good

            They are not evil in the particular sense you are using the word evil. They are evil in my view in that they are disordered. They are violence against self and other. The world does not cease to be good, but the bonds of peace and harmony that are supposed to exist between all things are weakened. Evil action is rooted in disordered intention. Intention is the more real problem. The Bible talks about this again and again. God doesn't want empty performance of ritual formalisms, he wants you to love the good. He wants you to be what you are. God did not "create logic." The science of logic is something we are working out, but truth and coherence are basic. They're internal to the divine nature. God himself is not eternal nonsense. He is being itself. The ground of being, pure act.

            Literally not true, learn up on indigenous american tribes. They had trans and genderfluid people looong before we officially came up with those terms.

            I've heard vague talk of this before, but I don't know much about ancient North America. Regardless, I don't think the practices of some ancient tribes prove your point, that the world was originally a super LGBT affirming before Christianity came and ruined things. I also don't think this backwards-facing mindset is helpful. Christianity does not need to be bound to medieval or early modern Europe. Didn't come from there. Doesn't have to keep its customs.

            Uh, no... God is love. I believe in the unity of the transcendentals, etc., in the divine nature. And of course all of our language about the Godhead itself is analogical, I'm speaking of something which cannot be captured completely by human language. The only way one can speak univocally about God is through Jesus Christ. One does not choose evil as if evil had independent substantial existence. All evil is disordered love. One prioritizing a lesser good above a greater good. What Augustine called "disordered love." For instance, hedonism is all about physical pleasure. Physical pleasure isn't evil. It's quite nice. But in making it more important than care for your neighbor, one becomes an idolator and does evil. One acts out of proportion with what is good, true, and beautiful.

            Only insofar as America is white as hell. But Black people are much more Christian than white people, and Latine are also very religious though follow different paterns.

            Firstly this is just bullshit.
            Secondly, Texas' abortion restrictions are not based on any pro or anti abortion referendum. They are based on the GOP's hold on power, which is propped up almost entirely by white people with a handful of Latine. Only the most hardcore right wing extremists support the GOP-style day 1 no exception abortion laws. But because white people love the GOP more than their human rights, they continue to prop up said GOP

            being a woman or black is a fundamental trait. being spiritual or religious is a voluntary belief. some belief or idea being adopted by a lot of people - some of whom are minorities - has no bearing on the ethics of criticizing that idea. most of humanity is and had been religious. you might as well say hating action movies is racist and sexist

            Some belief or idea being adopted by a particularly privileged group (the belief that any and all religion and spirituality is untrue and that only positive atheism is true) doesn't mean its above criticism either. You will be criticized back and rightfully so, since spirituality is a major part of identity, culture and meaning.

            I don't come from a background of history, but I do have a science degree. In science, it's not enough to just accept that people who know a lot about something are always right, and it's not enough to accept that just because someone wrote something down a while ago means it's right. There needs to be proof, an actual demonstration of why something is right. Maybe historians have a lower bar for knowledge than that.

            And knowledge in any field does not translate to being able to defend that field from outside criticism.

            Repeat your paragraph with astrology or religion and see if it works. There are no 'good' astrologists or religious scholars to defeat the 'bad' ones because the fields are inherently bankrupt. But if you try and criticise purely form within their frameworks you will get nowhere.

            And yet some fields are clearly superior to others. If the historic consensus was that the world was only 10,000 years old but the scientific consensus disproved that we'd be accepting the scientific consensus and with good reason.

Empirical science and history study different things. They provide different kinds of knowledge. How the hell could there possibly be a historical consensus the world is 10,000 years old? History doesn't ask or answer those kinds of questions. There are moments when fields come into conversation, but entirely distinct fields of knowledge do not "contradict" one another because truth is unitary.

            i met jesus
            he appeared to me in a vision when i was 15
            when i don't know what to do in life i pray and that's how he speaks to me
            i am also unrelatedly schizophrenic and people like to claim that's how i talk to jesus but when jesus talks to me it's different to when i have my hallucinations
            t schizo troony (jesus said it was my destiny to transition and he loves me just the same)

            as far as obscure ancient figures go (and Jesus was definitely obscure during his time), a source within a century or so is actually pretty good, contemporary written sources are by no means the norm for ancient history

            many other figures have statues made of them, coins printed of them, that sort of physical evidence. And also there's less reason for their existence to be invented, so less need to doubt.

            Authority ought to be appealed to within lay circles. There is no other grounds on which to make reliable judgments. Your conviction that everyone investigating this issue besides you is dishonest is another obvious sign of arrogance. You're not only smarter, but more virtuous than the academy. Aren't you something!

            Oh, so you're a STEMgay who think she knows everything because he can describe models of the motion of matter. That's funny. How would you like it if some historian came barging into some scientific conference making bold claims about how X, Y, or Z field of study is rotten to its core and being pursued by researchers not really committed to the cause of truth as discernible by the discipline's methodological rules? That would be pretty annoying and arrogant, wouldn't it? You are not in the epistemic position to make judgments about matters of historical fact. Leave history to historians. What you ought to do is conform.

            >academic history is a pseudoscience
            >I, internet scholar, am the last bastion of real empirical history
            Amazing. The irony is that your discourse is what's analogous to homeopathic medicine, not the academic historical consensus. A bunch of hacks and quacks in no real position to be speaking with any authority pretending to have knowledge. Academic history is the equivalent of real allopathic medicine.

            You are literally saying in this post that academic history has epistemic value comparable to homeopathic medicine's relative to the hard sciences. If a doctor criticizes some homeopathic quack, that is a good physician criticizing a bad physician. A scientist criticizing a historian's research is a bad historian criticizing a good historian. Scientific knowledge does not translate to historical knowledge.

          not really. Its way easier to buy that the israeli radical cult had a founder rather than had no founder and was actually a conspiracy of 12 men pretending it had a founder who was fake and it was all a psyop.
          I don't believe in the divinity of christ or something but the idea that a cult leader named josh existed and founded what would later evolve into christianity is really really not that hard to buy compared to the alternatives

          As far as I'm aware the main take is he was a real person in the same was a Mohammed or Joseph Smith was a real person: a charismatic prophet but not anything actually special. Basically just an ancient cult leader which makes a lot of sense.

          A century is also honestly not that long. That's potentially like hearing about your own great grandfather via your grandparents. And then also if someone was notable enough to show up in the historical record elsewhere you get more information.

          Do all historical documents need to be direct eyewitness accounts to have any degree of accuracy? It’s kind of the norm when studying antiquity to find that most historical documents of real world events, people, and places were put to paper years or even decades after the fact. Typically there’s also archeological evidence to indicate said events as well. Which is where corroborating the New Testament becomes difficult, because if we found, say, for example, his body, that would conclusively prove that the story was based on a real person, but that the story was wrong. Seeing as how we have yet to find his body, that leaves us with three conclusions to draw. One, his body was exhumed and destroyed either by israeli clergy, Romans, or one or more of his followers. Two, his physical body did in fact reanimate and he did ascend to heaven. Or three, Jesus is an amalgamation of early church fathers, but this idea has very little supporting evidence other than minor differences between the gospels.

    >scientific rationalism
    I shiggy diggy. I don't care how probable rationalists deem the existence of God and the world's teleological structure to be. "Um, ackshually, there's a 73.5% chance that the world is a mass of senseless violence and chaos that came from nothing and is going nowhere, and the only meaning it has is what we project into it!" I don't care if it's a 75% chance or a 99.9% chance, I choose to agree with the testimony of Scripture that the world was created good and all hate, suffering, and evil is extrinsic to it, obstacles to its proper operation which are to be removed not by any arbitrary act of human revolutionary violence left or right, revolutionary violence the likes of which turned the 20th century into a mass grave, but by the revolution worked out already by God in the person of Jesus Christ, who is to be imitated in his loving kindness, willingness to offer himself as sacrifice for others, and vocal rejection of all idolatries (tradition, state power, GDP, labor, etc). I choose boldly to affirm that the world came from good and is moving into good, and that the thing to do in the here and now is celebrate and anticipate the eternal community of love that is the Heavenly Jerusalem by living with kindness and hope in the here and now. I choose to live with an invincible trust in the goodness of the world's origin and destiny. Any argument attempting to prove otherwise is nothing to me. My basic disposition of hope is not something I subject to "rational scrutiny." It is pre-philosophical and pre-scientific. Absolutely basic.

            that's just arbitrarily classifying sex as being a cluster of traits rather than the genetic reality of what sort of gametes your body is developed to produce
            "my hormone levels are a type of sex, and I have changed my hormone levels by taking a bunch of titty skittles, therefore I have changed my biological sex in some ways" is not actually refuting anything because everyone already knew you were changing your hormone levels, you're just labelling your hormone levels as a type of sex

    Just because it's logically right doesn't necessarily mean it's the right thing to do. Criticizing religion is not politically expedient and there is no political coalition in the US or perhaps anywhere that can exist without the support of religious people. LGBT people have worse things to worry about then the benign christians who have already watered down their religion so much in order to be compatible with a society that accepts us. Criticizing religious bigotry is still not the same as criticizing all religion, regardless of whether they might be closer than most people think.
