Cacotopia
Let's go full Trottle
An interesting thought. Spurned from Freddom-eer/justice-eer thread.
We are free to commit any action we want in this world, yet all actions have consequences. Which in turn regulate the kinds of actions we make. Laws in society I think further dampen the "action wheel" of people.
But god, in the view of many a believer, created all and is free to do whatever without consequence unlike the rest of us mortals are bound to. Consequences temper actions. God has no such temperance in my opinion, god is free to commit whatever whenever and what ever god wants to do. Most people and animals learn from consequence. And may as a result develop empathy or apathy towards others in given situations. not god. Would then god be a cruel entity because it has never suffered for anything it has ever done?
