Was "Re: A Question for Atheists and the Theists"
This is a question about the nature of Fairness, not whether or not
their is a God. I just thought I would make that obvious before budikka
started slinging strings of obscenities at me.
If there was a God, and this God Desired for all humans to have free
will, and created a system for them to exist in:
Wouldn't the most fair way of implementing such a system be to have
everything totally random, or following some set of laws, similar to a
random number generator in a computer.
It seems that the most fair system would be one in which an individual
was blessed seemingly at random, another had something horrible at random.
Isn't randomness, Great events, or apparently horrible events, under the
laws of nature fair?
Hello,
If a super intelligence is responsible for all creation, why have
anything "horrible" happen at all? If there is a great purpose to
TEMPORARILY permit "horrible" things at this time, then so be it. But
to willfully design such things to happen throughout all eternity,
would be like having a Hitler as a god etc.
No, true fairness would be an intelligent creator, who loves his
creation, and will do everything he can to make the lives of ALL of his
creations as pleasant as possible. Notice how fair to everyone Re
21:3,4 is:
"3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling
of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his
people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will
wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or
mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed
away." (NIV)
Sincerely, James
