Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

You can't, though. Or, well, you can say it all you want but that doesn't make it true. I'm pretty certain that cats and dogs and bugs also think they've got humans figured out and I guarantee you they definitely, definitely don't, because it's physiologically impossible for them to understand. They're just not equipped for it. Just like mortals wouldn't be equipped to understand the perspective of an immortal, all-encompassing being, it's impossible for you to accurately place yourself in that perspective.
The ant farm thing was a little hamfisted but I think the analogy still stands for the purpose I introduced it for.
It is a possible explanation for the existence of evil. As in, the post we're arguing in the comments of right now. Nowhere in there did I ever say "this is the way things are", only "this is a possible explanation for a question we cannot definitively answer".
Please explain what part of that doesn't make sense.
This is all theoretical anyway, if a god existed your understanding of them would be limited to whatever they decide you're able to understand of them anyway, so the argument is largely academic regardless of feelings or underlying truth. The point I was trying to make here is that the difference in the sheer scale of existence between a mortal and a god is such that we may be as ants to them. We possibly could not understand them no matter how hard we try - we're just not biologically equipped for it - and some things that we consider important may be so unimportant as to never even get noticed by a god. But none of this is provable or even falsifiable so it's all a thought experiment anyway.
