So God should have stopped--
I need you to pay attention, to
read what is being written here. You are assuming a
great deal of what many of us expect here, so let's try to clear this up. Speaking for myself, but aware that I am
very likely not alone in this, no one expects your god to do anything. Bluntly, I don't think he
can, much less
wants to. I do not believe he has the authority, the power, or the ability to stop or solve many issues inherent in existence. To be frank, as well, I do not believe he causes them. I'm fairly certain I've said that before.
However,
and here's the important part, the issue as relevant to this thread and pursuant to everything I and others have been trying to get through to you;
Abrahamic claims are common that the god of Abraham is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. With evidence, these claims cannot be truth. And to pre-emptively counter what I can safely assume is coming; I don't care what the books of bahai say. I don't care what the bahaullah says. If these are not claims that bahai make, then criticism of them should not bother you.
Yet here you are, speaking in their defense all the same. So again, in short, the issue here is the
claims being made about Abraham's god relevant to the Problem of Evil. Thus far, the
evidence indicates that Abraham's god is either a great pretender, a petty being, or flat-out malicious and evil.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
That means that God makes it possible for light and darkness, peace and evil.
No. That says, quite clearly, that your god
makes evil. As a source, not an enabler (though that's not great either).
God could only fix it by (a) overriding the free will of humans or (b) taking away human free will
Of which there is scriptural claim that he has absolutely
no qualms about doing so. And again I don't care what extraneous claim the bahaullah makes, his claim is the minority on this matter.
The 100 dollar question you cannot answer-
Shifting the goal-posts suddenly doesn't mean I cannot answer your dime-a-dozen question.
-is why God should fix injustice when humans can learn to be just.
Because according to claims that you are here defending, your god made those injustices. Your god [REDACTED] the bed, and expects us to clean it up because we've got the ability to do so. Skipping ahead to the metaphor; your god put poison ivy everywhere, and claims no fault or responsibility because we've got the shears and balm to fix his mistake. Yes, mistake. Your god should fix these injustices because according to you, he's
God. This is his show. Right? Anything less and he's running a snuff-film horror show. Likely enjoying our suffering, I'd say.
Let's keep that energy going forward, in regards to yahweh.
Why do my claims bother you if they are so false?
You assume they bother me, which I'd hazard to guess is a healthy (or unhealthy) dose of projection. And evidently, with how you're handling much of this, what we believe that you consider false
does bother you. Your offense to our disdain of your petty god and disregard of your prophet have shown this fairly well. Frankly, your claims are neither here-nor-there, and really only serve to fill time. They are a whetstone to the sword of the mind; fodder to hone arguments, and perhaps learn forming tactics of Abrahamics (though in that endeavor it's proving to disappointingly be more of the same).
Then explain the metaphor and what you sought to convey by it.
Covered above, and settled well enough. According to your claims (made directly or by defense of the same claim made by others), your god made this mess. Your god is responsible. You playing the blissful enabler and treating us like petulant children does not change the evident fact that your god is a self-righteous charlatan at best, and if your claim is valid regarding him running the show, we are entirely justified in our outrage over his incompetency.
