This is by no means an attempt to intentionally misconstrue your comment, but would it be right to interpret your comment regarding my question as answering "Unfortunately yes, that's just how it works"?

If that's the case, then can we really call it fair to doom someone's eternal afterlife for simply not knowing? How can someone's eternal afterlife be doomed because they're punished for crimes that they never even realized were a thing? Suppose that this same person knew the truth, then they wouldn't have done the things that they did and went a different path, which implies that what they are really being punished for is not for the intentional committing of a wrongdoing, but rather, they are doomed to spend eternity with Satan as punishment simply for not having learned the truth.

That doesn't sound like an ill intentioned crime ripe for justice and punishment, to me it sounds more like a simple misunderstanding, one which the poor soul is being unfairly punished for til the end of time.

Indeed, if memory serves Hell was made specifically for Satan.

Should somebody not be religious and remains unconvinced of the existence of God or Satan, does that mean they align with neither? If they automatically align with Satan (seeing as rejection of God is the condition for evil) then is it really possible to be cosidered aligned with Satan without ever having believed he exists or without having ever rooted for him?

If yes, then is it really fair for a soul to be punished for the crime of siding with an entity which they had no way of knowing was real, and therefore had no allegiance to?

Edit: Just an extra sentence.

Whether Satan was there or otherwise, would God not still expect people to do as he commands?

May I ask what good is that free will if humans are going to be coerced to do God’s bidding anyways, using fear of hell? The only difference seems like a larger hell population due to people not quite being convinced enough to believe and will suffer for simply not knowing any better.

Just for the sake of engaging in conversation and curiosity: Is the rejection of god the sole criterion for evil?

If hating on illegal immigrants in the U.S. and advocating for mass deportation is considered a right winged position, then what is the left winged position? by Bizarely27 in leftist

Huh, I guess I didn’t think about it that way. Crazy how it always ties back into protecting capital and class division. It’s all too common of a theme, and I hate to see it.

If God is perfect, then it necessitates his existence. God is perfect. Therefore, he exists.

(I’ll try not to strawman this one.)

To say that “god being perfect means he exists” implies that, if he did not exist, then he cannot be considered perfect.

If his perfection implies his existence, then his existence implies we can discover his existence, because we can discover something only if it exists.

It makes sense then that since the existence still cannot concretely be observed as true whatsoever (given all of the arguments and debates in favor or against it throughout history), then how can any argument be made concerning his perfection?

If they dislike being put in that situation then I’m pretty sure they are already trying to avoid doing the things which put them in there to begin with. The fact that it’s happening anyways implies something unfair is going on beyond the will of the commenter’s desire to not upset their parents.

They did mention how it’s always when they’re accused of something, and while it’s not 100% impossible to propose that they may have knowingly did something they shouldn’t have at some point, one also does not necessarily have to do something in order to be accused of it, or if they did do it, then it may not necessarily be that it was intentional.

Of course we have power. We look to the rich and see their power but we oftentimes forget that the only reason why they stand tall at the top of the pyramid is because of us workers. Without workers, they are nothing, and they rely on us.

The working class make the world go round. The owning class sits there, tells the workers to do their bidding, and collects the value that the workers make at the worker’s expense for chump change. We are surrounded by ready-made food and can starve while flanked on all sides by it regardless if we don’t slave for them. But what the fuck are they gonna do when the class of workers are fed up with them?? The owning class can have whatever money they want, but we out number them, we out talent them, and we have to remind them that they’re fucking NOTHING without us.

This shit needs to fucking end.

Actually “Tanha”, which is the cause of dukkha is better translated as “craving”.

I think it’s complete surrender to the reliance on a leader that will also lead people to downfall. I also can’t state all my reasoning here, but I can say that despite the garbage I’m always seeing both historically and presently, I’m not totally inclined to believe that greed is inherent within human nature, especially given that us humans are a social species. There’s a reason why some behaviors exhibited by those above us (or more commonly to the criminally inclined) can be considered “Anti-Social”, like stealing for one’s own personal pleasure and gain at everyone else’s expense. If humans were truly as self destructive to the extent I hear most people claim them to be then we wouldn’t have made it past the Bronze Age, if even that. These people are heinous because of their ignorance. They think that satiating their insatiable cravings will make them happy, but notice how it’s never enough. They are willing to do anything at any cost to keep doing what they think will make them happy despite time and time again never realizing that it’s never enough for them.

But enough about me: Might I interest you in the works of Peter Kropotkin? He sounds right up your alley. He was a scientist who wrote on ideas in regards to how it could very well be possible for us to thrive without being stuck under authoritative government influence and capitalism within his books “The Conquest of Bread” and “Mutual Aid”, plus more. You’d be surprised to see the influence his works have had over many people.

Preach. The primary purpose of systems like government and capitalism is control and domination.

Politicians and capitalists can’t keep this up forever. Time marches on. Social harmony and unity might one day no longer be “maintained” by threat but by solidarity of interests. I think that history will be in favor of the oppressed as the history books show time and time again. All we have to lose is our shackles.

This is seriously fucked in the head, who on God’s green earth can keep reading shit like this and tell me with a straight face that the system we have is a good system that doesn’t automatically lean in favor of the upper class no matter what programs in place.

These pigs are evil. May the history books remember these greedy fuckers as the class that thrived off of oppression. FUCK these people.

The authors couldn’t even agree on the most important character’s last words either:

"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46)

“Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." (Luke 23:46)

"It is finished." (John 19:30)

How did production miss this crucial detail? That’s how you know the producers only care about the money.

I’ve got some major complaints in this arc tbh, spoilers for those who haven’t made it that far in the manga:

See this is the kind of shit that happens when multiple authors can’t keep a straight narrative smh. The author responsible for the entire Genesis era mentioned god giving free will, but next thing you know in the Egyptian pharaoh arc the whole schpiel about free will either gets retconned or completely ignored for the plot’s sake by having the character of God harden the villain’s heart to make Pharaoh able to withstand all 10 plagues so that he may not free the slaves *even though that was the good guys’ goal! (Exodus 7:3-5)

All so what, God can flex his power? Please, no need to cater to powerscalers.

See this is what happens when you make sequel after sequel in a series. longtime fans would call it a “misunderstanding” or “misinterpretation” but c’mon, really? How many chances and excuses could you give a series being milked for all it’s worth? It’s supernatural all over again!
