>>15826311For Epicurus's thought flow to be reasonable we have to assume that God shared with us literally everything there is to know about the universe and his own state of being, and that a human being could ever fathom the mindset and point of view of an immortal being that has existed since the creation of the universe and for an unknown time before hand. We very clearly have not been given the QRD regarding the universe, and I struggle to imagine anybody with a head fat enough to imagine they can understand the machinations of a God.
>Hur hur a loving God would tell us everything Remember back when you were 5 and your parents told you to brush your teeth and shower? When you demanded to know why I seriously doubt they went into the details of bacteria consuming your teeth and dead skin, causing your teeth to rot and you to stink and get rashes. They probably understood that 5 year old you wasn't really capable of understanding that, probably just didn't want to stop playing, and made some shit up that a 5 year old could understand and followed it up with the threat of an ass whooping if you didn't do what you were supposed to. They would have done this knowing it was a temporary measure, and that you would figure out why you need your brush your teeth and shower on your own as you got older, or at least it was a very reasonable assumption at the time. I think it's reasonable to apply the same rationale God
