Is it possible that a cruel God that enjoys seeing us suffer exists?

In the absence of an indisputable and definitive scientific explanation for the existence of the universe I am of the opinion that there must be a 'creator', or 'creators'.

Maybe, when these guys are bored and want to amuse themselves they tune into 'Channel Earth' and watch the crazy antics of the self-destructive human race.

By Channel hopping they could chose from an endless selection of programmes ranging from us blowing ourselves to smithereens in the name of some mythical God, or the Rape Channel, the Paedophilia Channel, the Poisoning of the Planet Channel.

Their choice would be endless.

I doubt you could so easily attribute a human characteristic, such as boredom, to a presumed deity.

Accept the post in the lighted way it was intended.

I guess you would also have difficulty believing that Gods watch television.

Yes. It is also possible that this cruel "god" only exists in ones mind. For ME, I couldn't "worship" a cruel "god" any more than I would respect a cruel MAN. How anyone can is beyond me.

I would say that it absolutely is possible that such a god exists, but I wouldn't think it is reasonable to think so

Side: Possible

Definitely.

Whilst I personally do not believe in or worship a God, I do not deny the possibility that one exists. However, if there is a God then it certainly isn't some all-loving, divine entity.

Whether or not it's malevolent or just indifferent to human suffering is debatable, but I think these are two very real possibilities.

To please an evil god doing evil would certainly please him ; it saddens evil god that he gave his creations free will and yet they choose to do good

Side: Possible

Yes, it is possible; the only difference from the good God scenario is that it isn't potentially comforting to think of.

I think it is one possibility in a realm of infinite or nearly infinite possibility. There are some humans who enjoy the suffering of others so there is a possibility that there is a God. Is it my God? No. But then I was watching a show about multiple universes so I'm kinds riding that fun thought right now.

Then you might also enjoy knowing that there are no multiple universes.

Primarily, that's a contradiction to the conservation laws.

No one uses the many worlds interpretation any more - try learning the Copenhagen one.

Then there's those like me who deny even that. But that's a minority, so far.

I don't really refute. However, I am curious how the multiple worlds conflicts with conservation laws. My main understanding is the conservation of energy. Which I don't necessary see how that contradicts the multiple universe. I don't know enough about this subject to say much. I would appreciate your insight.

Looking at history of humanity we see many people suffer needlessly. We don't have a good explanation why, but this can be one of many reasons

Though I personally don't believe any God exists, it is of course possible for such a God to exist.

Side: Possible

There is no being more wicked than God is, and also there is no being more benevolent than God is, which contributes to His omnipotence.

He chooses to reflect it(benevolent, or wicked) on anyone , and whenever.

But even wicked people love their children. Their children are not their enemies that they may hate.

So even if God is wicked, why would it be directed towards man; His children?

There are wicked people who hate their children. Some people abandon their children or treat them with contempt in horrendous ways.

And so?

What has that got to do with God.

The God who sacrificed his son for the rest of the world's sake。。。and you want to relate that to him?

You're fucking ungrateful and you will keep suffering untill you acknowledge this sacrfice.

Agreed. And THAT could be construed as "following the leadership of their "god". Sad.

Side: Possible

No. It's only you who is cruel, gloating over the pain and suffering in the world, saying with an evil grin how it proves God cannot be God because He is not good.

It's you who is not good, it's you who enjoys seeing pain and suffering.
