    “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
    Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
    Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
    Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
    ― Epicurus

    Here's another:

    I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

    Isiah 45:7

    In the land of intellectual adulting, however, people who know their history know the cult of YHWY, originally a single god from what was the Canaanite pantheon, clear evidence of which is still present in even the Old Testament, subsumed the mythological roles of protector and catastrophe, hero and villain, creator and destroyer in its path to monotheism.

    From what i've saw from videos on religious archaeology, the "definitive" yaweh is an amalgamation of 2 or 3 gods into one, which explains why his personality varies wildly from text to text. Vengeful asshole here, incompetent god of war against iron chariots, all loving elsewhere

    And the polar opposite of that is anyone over 12 years old using "fire" like you've done. Please fucking stop.

    Or God is a ten year old who is playing around with a world generating machine and has since forgot about us.

    We're just one of the thousands of world saves he placed on a memory card and threw into the closet and forgot about.

    To be fair, if you look at the pale blue dot imagery, it really captures how difficult it would be to find us looking down in the universal sandbox. We might have simply been overlooked.
