Does God feel cruel?

Post Reply New Topic

I am ex-Catholic and today I believe God is cruel or indifferent, or at least I feel like he is. I know a lot of Christians just say that humans shouldn't judge God, but I feel pretty awful looking at the state of society at-large today and at personal issues. I don't really like the idea of Heaven either it sounds like all we will do is worship God 24/7 and have everything today we know besides pure joy or happiness stripped from us. I wish more people empathize and try to understand the reasons why people think what they think about God, if it exists.

Do you too think God is cruel or just indifferent either way, if he/she exists?

He wants to seem indifferent so we don’t depend on Him too much.

This is a really big question Hollywood_Guy. I believe the answer is "no" but too make actual sense of it, I'd suggest taking a look at a book by Peter Kreeft called the Handbook of Catholic Apologetics.

You & I are members of one of the most faith-ignorant generations of Catholics since the Dark Ages, and thanks to the catechesis of the 1970s-2000s I believe its not getting any better. I study to disprove, and that's why I'm fairly strong in my Catholicity today.

satan is the real boss of this world. god stands by and allows it. so which is worse- a god who could but does not restrain evil, or the evil itself?

It's a cruel and distopian world so:

A-God cares but is cruel in nature

B-God is indifferent and does not care

C-The human race is so wicked and corrupt that they have been hung out to dry by God because they deserve it

God is not evil, life is meant to be a hardship in my opinion.

God is a static energy source of pure love and bestowal. The human soul is purely the will to receive or ego. The purpose of creation is for the particles of the common soul ( humanity) to connect in love above their egos, and attain an equivalence of form ( pure love) with the Creator. By connecting together with the intention of mutual guarantee and love we create a mechanism by means of which we are able to tap into Gods' Light and ascend towards the correction of the common soul of which we each, every single human, are a particle. Every single thing that transpires in this world is God communicating with me. Every flaw I see exists within myself.
This is "the last generation" the revelation of the evil inclination, separation. Chaos, disease and wars, natural disasters will increase until we choose unity and love over separation and egoism.

This is what I believe, this is the wisdom of kabbalah. Heavy stuff I know

God can't be cruel. In order to be cruel God would need to exist but since no gods exist they can't possibly have traits or behaviours.

I think we have no reason to believe in a non-indifferent god, that wants us to behave any way or other. If there was a caring god the least we would expect is a clear cut non-disputed book with instructions on how to lead our lives. This is surprisingly easy to do. Along with instructions on life some knowledge could be revealed that could not possibly be known without advancement well beyond human. E.g. a list of large consecutive prime numbers given 2000 years ago which could only be verified by computers today etc.

If a god did exists and he could have created all people without autism I think it is extremely cruel to create people with autism. Or people with other disorders. I think we all know the constant heartache autism causes...

Doesn’t matter to God,if they exist.We do a fine enough job on our own.Mother Nature is also impassive about whether a baby bird or human survives or not.Nature is neither good or evil, why would a god be any different.

God is not cruel.

But our mind is. And therefore it's interpretations, perpetuating and 'supporting' one another.

Life is cruel and indifferent, how we deal with it is the manifestation of good or evil.
