  • Funnily gaslighting wasn’t really a big independent job. In London where there were actually enough public gaslights for it to be an endeavour policemen who were walking around the streets at the crack of dawn and setting of the sun anyway were often made to do this while at it. And several other minor tasks like waking up subscribing citizens, it was good that those patrols weren’t typically busy in regards of actual policing.

    So professional gaslighters, not much of a thing, their poor reputation very much a thing.




  • Thing is, if something is omnipotent it has chosen to be evil if evil exists. That is why if you assume omnipotence everything is an irrelevant detail. Whether they’ve chosen to become omniscient or omnibenevolent, and omnipotent being is responsible for all evil anyway. So if either is true doesn’t matter any omnipotent God would be evil as long as evil exists.


  • An omnipotent being can do anything logically possible. There is nothing preventing them from thinking "I wish I was omniscient or I wish I was omnibenevolent, and so it would be. An omnipotent but not omniscient being is simply specifically avoiding becoming omniscient.

    And of course, anything that is not omniscient knows they are not.




  • But what’s the sacrifice either? Jesus doesn’t even die for good. Is a few hours of suffering a grand sacrifice worth all humanity’s sins?

    Off course the judge of that is God who is the definitive self-absorbed jackass so maybe he does value his own temporary inconvenience that high.
