Fukk your corny debates
That’s something I think that’s hard to square with an all benevolent creator or force of any sort.
You don’t even have to talk about us as humans. How fukked up is it that the natural world consists of organisms in a neverending cycle of killing and consuming other organisms for their resources?
Animals kill each other in the most brutal of ways conceivable too. Those nature shows on the Discovery Channel and PBS used to sanitize how horrific nature can be. They’ll show an animal make the kill, but they don’t show the gory torturous details of animals being slowly torn apart and eaten alive with limbs hanging off by tendons and bones sticking out.
And every living form you see in the world including us is a current end product of that predation-consumption-adaptation cycle.
For billions of years there was no life. Then there was just the first prokaryotic bacteria for billions of more years. And it seems at some point one single-celled eukaryotic organism came to the realization that it could consume another bacterium, consuming its resources to increase its survivability, killing it in the process. I’m not religious or “spiritual” like that, but if life on Earth is a mythical story, that would seem like the moment the devil caused original sin, or at least one of the seminal moment’s in the history of the world—sort of like when the protohuman learned to used a bone as a took in the beginning of 2001: A Space Oddyssey.
It’s kinda crazy that the driving force of life is in many ways the taking of other life.
Just my thoughts.
