God could save that person but has a good reason for not doing so.

That good reason would usually be either (A) saving that person would lead to some greater harm down the road - this is the Leibnitz best of all possible worlds explanation and not terribly plausible IMO - or (B) it is in some respect important that the world be left to the control of humans and that God not interfere too much with human existence.

[(Anonymous)]

A is interesting. But regarding B, what's the point of God then?

[(Anonymous)]

Regarding B, it means that maybe, just maybe, human beings do not as yet actually comprehend everything about the entire freaking universe, and are biased towards what applies to them personally at this moment in time because we are bound by a helluva lot of limitations.

When the discussion goes in this direction, I always start wondering why such a being would give a fuck if people worshipped it. And if it doesn't care if people worship it, and you can't count on it doing you any favors even if you worship it, then what purpose does worshipping it serve? Or if it's so incomprehensible, why should we assume anyone has ever comprehended anything it wants?

[(Anonymous)]

The purpose of worship, much like its benefits and the ways in which it does harm, is well documented.

The idea that God is supposed to have a purpose is odd to me. In my mind, he just is.

What do you think the point of God is in either of the scenarios you proposed as the only possibilities?

[diet_poison]

This. How arrogant to assume that just because a thing doesn't have a perceived purpose to people means it cannot exist.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

I like your line of thought here.

This. I've always disliked the popular idea that God cannot exist as unconditionally loving, or can't exist at all, because He allows bad things to happen to good people. It assumes that He thinks in the same way we do, which is hilariously arrogant to me.

And these sort of arguments just remind me of why I jokingly refer to myself as an apatheist. I don't know whether or not any gods exist, but even if they did I wouldn't really give a shit, because their existence seems to have fuck-all of an impact on the world or my life. Just existing sure isn't any reason for me to care enough to worship them.
