And, of course, everything IS permitted. That’s the problem. Humans can’t stand that much responsibility so we resort to gods and satans to hide behind. But we’re the creators, just as much as any of our gods are.
I disagree. The responsibility dodging many resort to is paganism. That is, of course, buck passing right there with those who hide behind, "the devil made me do it" moral bankruptcy.
Everything is, not just "permitted", but the celebrated modus vivendi of the morally bankrupt, who's REAL RELIGION is Social Darwinism, whether they ever looked up the definition of that Socially Destructive Ideology or not. Those functional Social Darwinists WORSHIP THEMSELVES.
That excludes billions of 🕊️ humans who embrace ethical behavior as sine qua non for a viable biosphere. These people of good will, whether they are monotheists or not, accept our responsibility to be good stewards of Earth. They are part of the ☝🏻 solution.
We humans did not create squat. Pretending we are "creators" is hubris even more inexcusable than paganism. The scientific evidence is now overwhelming that life in this Universe, along with the very precise physical constants (thousands of places to the right of the decimal point, without which molecules would NOT be able to form from chemical reactions, and even the existence of gravity would not be possible), are deliberate acts of creation by a super intelligent entity. This Super Intelligent Designer ET that created the Universe, by the current concensus of the reality based scientific community that, "there was NO MATTER before the Big Bang" (i.e. not given to evidence free multiverse atheist arm waving speculation), HAS to exist outside of time and space.
I see no evidence that the Creator passed the "creator" baton onto us. Pretending the incredible complexity and diversity of life forms in our biosphere, never mind the vast Universe out there, resulted from random undirected processes when we cannot make a single viable cell in the lab, despite our advanced scientific lab tools and crisper DNA human Intelligent Design sophisticated methods, is irrational as well as unscientific. Talk to me about our "creator" abilities when scientists can intelligently design a viable, self reproducing bacterial organism in the lab from biochemical scratch. Until then, making the belief in metaphysics your whipping boy displays evidence of one or both of the following difficulties:
If you take responsiblity for your actions to the point that you continuously behave towards others as you would have them behave towards you, you are part of the solution. However, casting aspersions on people who honestly worship the Creator of this life friendly Universe, because there are a lot of hypocrites out there sporting the goody two shoes "Religious" label, is throwing the proverbial baby out with the bath water.
I respectfully disagree.
"if God doesn't exist, then everything is permitted" -- Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
