can anyone tell me why doesn’t Allah support Gaza, or why hasn’t he done it so far? Is it not supported by Quran or smth?
i swear to god, atheists always ask the most superficial/shallow/cursory questions ever.
idk i came across this philosophical answer and i saved it just for you because i knew you would ask that question lmao:
This is the most famous atheistic question since the beginning of creation, and it is somewhat normal in the midst of recurring disasters and calamities. But in fact, the problem is deeper than the idea of the existence of “evil” itself. The real problem remains in some people’s general feeling of the illusion of their ability to coordinate the cosmic order themselves without any consideration of the unseen divine order. This leads them to imagine a world without any suffering or evil and raise a banner entitled “A World Without Pain”!
This paradisiacal/always perfect/non-faulty view of life, unfortunately, is the first step towards psychological and ideological upheaval, because the owner of this view invented a new concept of life... God himself did not promise.
The idea of the existence of God in the first place entails the belief that He (God) is impossible to act according to our naive earthly or human standards. He provides for creation, may prevent them, commands them, forbids them, afflicts them, and tests them with illness, death, loss, or pain.
Then the philosophers focus on the idea that “were it not for the existence of evil, humans themselves would not have known the value of goodness, truth, and justice.”
The examples are countless; Injustice is the absence of justice, hunger is the absence of satiety, and so on. The important question to ask is: Is there a true meaning for something when there is nothing against it? Is it possible to feel the value of justice in the absence of injustice? Is it possible to feel the pleasure of being full in the absence of hunger? I don "t think so.
The Australian philosopher J. L. Mackie said: “Invoking the existence of evil to deny the existence of a Creator is an illogical leap and a false conclusion.”
The witness is that humans sometimes assume a 100% ideal perception of the unseen and decide to see life through this perception, while religions have a clause, which is “belief in the unseen,” and for this unseen there is no magic wand through which you can see its details.. So naturally, your perception of justice in this world is sound or It does not necessarily come true as you imagine.
Finally; The reality of the world is that it is not perfect, nor was it originally created to be perfected. Rather, it was created on the basis of disappearance and decrease, and is neither pure evil, nor is it pure good.
this shit sounds too philosophical for me to understand
