From the religious point of view there is nothing lost in God's eyes. They believe that life is a test to distinguish the good from the bad. There has to be suffering and injustices as part of the trials and yes some people face unimaginable amount of misfortune and pain but all is accounted for when determining who is good and who is bad. For the religious religion offers the best alternative to nihlism because it gives meaning to everything that the human experience goes through as it is not lost in god's eyes. Life and the world from beginning to the end was never meant to be a bliss, it is a game that he created but rarely interferes in. All those who suffered will be compensated for their pain and the ones who cause the suffering will be punished for it. If god caused the suffering himself he would also compensate the sufferer for the pain they had to go through. Religious people believe this is not it. It is in the hereafter world where everything will make sense finally and take a permanent form.
right, but, like, why did something more powerful that our best AI's and tech create humans and need to sort them out on earth? I mean:
I will try to answer to best of my ability from religious point of view
There is no free will. The influence of environment and other factors make our decisions.
I hear you but i wont go as far as denying free will all together.
From what we understand about the brain, there really isn't a place for free will. Our thoughts just happen, like water flowing through a stream. The closest we get to will is in making determinations. But even then, it's an illusion. That voice in your head that says "let's do this" is actually on a slight delay. The decision was made by the quiet part of your brain without you knowing it, and your prefrontal cortex rationalizes it after the fact.
I've been dumped by dudes. That was them exercising their free will. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'our thoughts just happen' Mine come from bad shit People exercise free will all the time. When people are really stuck their opportunities to diversify their will gets diminished.
I relate to this so much. A week feels like a year. I cannot desire this
