God isn’t real, but if he was real he’d be a dick.
I came to this conclusion after fighting in Iraq. No “loving” God would allow the level of suffering I saw. Even if there was war allowed, a compassionate being would make death easier to go through.
Malaria…
The screwfly…
Parasitoids like wasps…
Quasistable intermittent ecosystems resulting in frequent binges by predators resulting in massive die-offs of prey species and then famine resulting in massive die-offs of the predator species.
These are parts of nature. No heros. No soldiers. Just mass suffering without purpose. In fact, we flockers and banders who will help a fellow out, right a turtle or rescue a cub are new to the game.
I dont get what makes me “strong”, every day im reminded how weak pathetic and powerless I am :c
