  • Why argue in bad faith? Whether or not I spend every waking moment of my life preventing child abuse, I would still do more than god has when it comes to a ratio of how much impact I have v.s. how much impact I could have. My life is finite. The lives of deities are not.

    I can only prevent one lifetimes worth of child abuse at most. God can stop child abuse from happening. And from that alone, I am fundamentally doing more to prevent child abuse per second than any god is.

    And if you really want to go down that argument, there’s only so much I can do. But when it happens right in front of me, I step in. I donate to charitable causes to can make much more of a difference that I could alone, converting wealth from my labor into action. But fundamentally, I also need rest and relaxation. I am only human.

    But gods don’t have such limitation. And yet, here we are.

    Literally it just boils down to: If given the option to prevent child abuse from ever happening by simply pushing a button, I would smack the button in an instant. Gods can’t even do that.
