[Locked] Don't You Find God Cruel?
-1
Before reading this topic think of the title as of a crude, dark joke, also be aware there will be a few questions that might be a bit discomforting.
Anyways, let me begin by first talking about human nature. We humans can be very different. Some humans were born more violent, others more gentle, and many are somewhere in between. The important thing is to be true to yourself and true to your nature. The question is, how come in most modern, past, and maybe in future societies you can't really be true to yourself?
Many humans desire love and peace, however there are humans who only desire is to wage war and cause hatred due to their own nature that they can not change. In almost every government that has ever been establish always try to covert humans into peace-loving, law abiding citizens; and the humans that don't covert and remain true to their nature are oppressed and sentenced to prison and/or death, while the others are called heroes and rewarded. Humans will go even further and label all those with the extremely violent nature as evil and called the peace-lovers as good and make them the standard for all humans, and make the "evil doers" as the scum of the earth. All I want to know is, is it really evil to stick with your nature even though it is of a violent kind? Then is really okay to punish them for their and call it justice? Personally this leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
Now, the guy who is watching all of this and also responsible is called God. He is the one who is responsible for the nature of every human but he will give divine judgement, supposedly, onto all those who are "evil", even though he was the one who is responsible for them being "evil". If that wasn't enough, he watches as the those with violent natures are punish and doesn't move a finger. Don't you find God cruel?

Implying that God/any higher power didn't grant free will.
Seriously, religious or atheist, your life = yours.

There is a balance between Good and Evil.
Lessay that balance is a see-saw.
If that see-saw never moved- you've got one heckuva boring day.

Says who?
You know, this entire "stay true to yourself" is pure bullshit. What, you want to take a pee in the pool its ok?
All I want to know is, is it really evil to stick with your nature even though it is of a violent kind?
Fuck yes. If you're mass murdering asshole, yeah, you're fucking evil.
Then is really okay to punish them for their and call it justice?
Yes.

Good thing you don't run the world.

1) Proof please, or it didn't happen.
1a) Proof of God
1b) Proog of him being responsible for evil
2) Free will, natch.
If that wasn't enough, he watches as the those with violent natures are punish and doesn't move a finger.

3) Seriously, you have an issue with God just watching violent people being punished? Here I thought you were paraphrasing the PROBLEM OF EVIL (google it up), but you're not.

Personally, I believe God to be an answer to the questions that we aren't sure of. Over all, humans are generally fucked up, most following the "look the other way" philosophy. Some people are violent, yes, but at the same time, when a person is out of control, and continually, harms others, there has to be a stop to it. The way how we may idolize certain aspects of violence, even see them as holy and such is sickening.
