    I hate God.

    1. The concept
    • God is an outdated hypothesis presented to explain reality at a time when the scientific method didn’t exist.
    • Testable variations of this hypothesis have never succeeded at proving the existence of God. Untestable variations are useless.
    • Different communities of people have weaponized the concept of God to somehow prove their moral frameworks as objective reality to impose them on others.
    • The ruling class has weaponized God to accumulate more power.
    1. The character
    • If God indeed exists, God is an asshole. If they are indeed the creator of this reality, pain and suffering exist because of them. Assuming they are all powerful, they can eliminate pain and suffering while still achieving their terminal goal behind the creation of this reality. Unless the terminal goal is causing pain and suffering itself. Both explanations point to God being an asshole.
    • Another branch of this argument can be that “God cannot eliminate pain and suffering to achieve the terminal goal, which is NOT to cause pain and suffering”. This means that there are certain rules that apply to God too. Meaning, that God is not all powerful. God is just someone MORE powerful than us. We are at the mercy of God. To achieve the terminal goal, God is willing to put us through pain and suffering. God is evil. As God is bound by certain rules, and is not all powerful, a possibility exists of couping God. God must be couped.
