hey. i'm not very familiar with this site yet so if there's anything wrong with this thread please let me know.
anyways, regarding the title - i've always considered myself an atheist. i believed that if god does exist, then why does he let humanity suffer? suffering only breeds more suffering, so i don't buy the whole "god's plan" thing.
but as of late, i've been questioning if god does exist. i'm not the smartest when it comes to science, so maybe it's just ignorance when i say i don't buy into the big bang hypothesis. not to mention that earth just seems so perfectly crafted to me, it just doesn't seem like a miracle to me. animals that all have specific and delicate relationships with one another, the fact that earth is the right distance from the sun... the more i think about it, the more i believe god exists.
however, that doesn't mean i believe in god, per se. i acknowledge the possibility that a higher being exists, but i don't have faith in them. this is because, as said before, why does god let us suffer when it brings nothing? and additionally, why make humans inherently sinful? if you have the power to create any being you wish, and to craft a utopia, why, instead, would you favor a dystopia?
the first answer that comes to mind is entertainment. a utopia, while blissful to live in, would be boring, wouldn't it? but at the same time, i favor boredom over the suffering humanity is subjected to in this world.
maybe it's just me not understanding our oh so wise and heavenly creator. maybe this is just me trying to give meaning to something meaningless. feel free to ramble in the comments.
