1. There is no god(s). We made it up a long time ago. We were mistaken. Everyone makes mistakes.
2. "Good and Evil" are metaphysical constructs we made up a long tie ago, too. The ideas are useful but are not A Priori. What had been previously thought to be "Good", (like enslaving people) are no longer considered "Good." Most people think of slavery as "Evil." There are plenty more examples like this.
3. Every species "suffers." Our species has noticed that the suffering is not at all equally distributed among its members. We choose to assume that our imaginary creation "god" is:
- a. punishing or rewarding humans as it sees fit
b. punishing or rewarding humans based on rules that it handed down
c. planning to restore "fairness" in one of two imaginary eternities.
It is to our credit that we humans think that "fairness" and morality are laudable things. It is a mark of progress for us that our social coordinating entities (governments/religions) often see it as an overarching moral goal.
I believe that it is our obligation to the future of our species to continue to work toward fairness for all. Just don't expect our imaginary father figure to do it. It's our responsibility.
