The problem of hell is a version of the problem of evil.
It might be worth reading this: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/evil/
If it’s too technical, you might try the Wikipedia article, here are a few excerpts:
The logical argument from evil is as follows:
P1. If an omnipotent, omnibenevolent and omniscient god exists, then evil does not.
P2. There is evil in the world.
C1. Therefore, an omnipotent, omnibenevolent and omniscient god does not exist.
…
If God lacks any one of these qualities – omniscience, omnipotence, or omnibenevolence – then the logical problem of evil can be resolved. Process theology and open theism are modern positions that limit God’s omnipotence or omniscience (as defined in traditional theology) based on free will in others.
…
A version [of the evidential problem of evil] by William L. Rowe:
- There exist instances of intense suffering which an omnipotent, omniscient being could have prevented without thereby losing some greater good or permitting some evil equally bad or worse.
- An omniscient, wholly good being would prevent the occurrence of any intense suffering it could, unless it could not do so without thereby losing some greater good or permitting some evil equally bad or worse.
- (Therefore) There does not exist an omnipotent, omniscient, wholly good being.
Another by Paul Draper:
- Gratuitous evils exist.
- The hypothesis of indifference, i.e., that if there are supernatural beings they are indifferent to gratuitous evils, is a better explanation for (1) than theism.
- Therefore, evidence prefers that no god, as commonly understood by theists, exists.
It should also be mentioned that most lay people’s concept of hell is radically different than the hell as described in various scriptures. I would be wary of any singular depiction of hell even within a religion, as scripture often has contradicting things to say about hell (with multiple plausible interpretations), and contemporary beliefs about hell are more informed by popular culture than scripture anyway.
Again, I direct to Wikipedia for the different depictions of hell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell
rsync is not really comparable to syncthing, it’s like comparing Excel to C++ or something. I need to be able to get lay people to install and use it, and syncthing has a UI that allows this while even I would have to do some work to get rsync to do everything syncthing is doing for me right now.
is there a more efficient alternative that isn’t centralized?
I live in America, people here operate in the opposite fashion of a hive - in a hive the organism is the collective, and the individual is just a part of the whole. In the U.S. many people refuse to take minimal actions to benefit others and even themselves out of the perception that it might be viewed as collectivist.
social politeness has gone too far \s
tbh I have daily interactions with real humans in the flesh that make me think more people should be concerned about their actions and words than they are, lol
though the habituation of state and corporate surveillance is disturbing and should be combated fr
well you wouldn’t want to be caught doing / saying / thinking the wrong thing would you?
This painting makes me feel the way playing Oblivion did for the first 100 hours.
72 million voters voted for Trump, that’s not equivalent with embracing Trump’s hatred. Trump’s base is bigoted and hateful, but that doesn’t mean every voter is. A lot of them seem clueless, by all accounts. I think a lot of them were just voting against the incumbent because they were upset about price gouging and inflation.
nope, but it is weird!
Yeah, though supposedly SEO could actually penalize articles for something like this, the SEO requirements keep changing but I bet there is a balancing act between keeping SEO happy and keeping up your ad impressions.
Articles are often made intentionally too long (ever notice recipes that force you to scroll through loads of irrelevant copy about the ingredients before you can get to the ingredients list and directions at the bottom?), this probably has to do with advertisements which will fire off when you scroll far enough down the page, it counts like an additional page view and the site makes more money.
exactly; there will always be piracy as long as piracy is needed, a post-piracy world is a utopia, even in the worst dystopia people find ways to “pirate”
yesss, it was so good; I made the dough with freshly milled wheat berries, with sourdough, and with beer instead of water. It was delicious and nourishing on its own tbh.
haha, I can confirm it was delicious; however, it was maybe too rich with the fried tofu, I might try a different chkn substitute next time. I would also use less dressing or use more lettuce (too much dressing contributed to excessive richness as well).
I think the tl;dr is along the lines that low-effort demands for a recipe are annoying and shows a disrespectful attitude of entitlement.
I think this is talking about people who just drop a single word “recipe?” and expect OP to provide a recipe on the spot.
This is especially a problem when OP is sharing pics from informal home-cooking where they may not have a recipe, and in that context the “recipe guy” is acting as though they are entitled to a recipe, and that means entitled to OP’s labor to produce a recipe where there isn’t one already.
It’s a bit like how you expected someone else to provide a tl;dr for you instead of reading the relatively short article yourself or using a tl;dr tool to summarize it for you. You are not putting in much of the work here, putting the work on someone else (usually OP feels the greatest responsibility to these kinds of requests, and over time the interactions can create a pressure to just not share because they don’t want to disappoint people).
No idea, tbh - I think you have a good question, I don’t recognize OP’s conception of hell either.
