    That there is a God which humanity has never agreed upon as to its qualities.

    I totally agree with dialectics. Nature is made of apparent opposites. But that doesn't prove a goddam about a god.

    If the idea of suffering is to learn how not to suffer, imagine how oxymoronic a god would be to not allow us not to suffer from the very beginning. Maybe put a couple chips or sinews in our system with the lessons already.

    In fact, dialectics is what proves that there isn't an omnipotent, benign god. Indeed, there is no substitute for a real father.

    You know I can't prove that.
    If I could, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    It doesn't prove a goddamn about god either way.

    What would be the point of that?

    How?

    Because supposedly an omnipotent benign god who makes us suffer has a plan for us. He wouldn't let us suffer just to laugh his rocks off.

    If you're saying that we suffer in order to stop suffering, that doesn't sound like much of a plan. It's sort of like, let me run 12 miles; not be healthy or be in good spirits, but to stop running after 12 miles.

    Duh!

    Edit: You're also contradicting yourself. If pleasure needs pain in order to be, there are no lessons to be learned that would abolish pain.
