Not sure wot section for this but will start here - "then why is there a distribution of non-caring ; cruel and sadistic ; selfish and mentally insane types - goody goody two shoes and those who wanna save the rest of us in God's name?? seems quiet a mess heh?? And can anyone fix it??
 

and when yuv answered that one - God said in Gen 1:26 - let us make man in our image ?????- wot image who was he talking to and did they all have the same images?? - but if this is all true and I am not claiming it is - BUT - God created planet earth - then the human forms in his /their forms - - how come it all went wrong?? - surely it was designed on perfection - the perfect planet - perfect forms and all good [well except Satan and he came later much later - but probably watching it all take place and maybe plotting summat?']

Why and where did it all go wrong - I can't find any clues - but being a good bible student will keep hunting for that proverbial satan in the haystack?

How can a question be wrong?🤔
I can understand questions being, trick, leading, irrelevant, diversionary and many other things, but how do you decide that a question is wrong?

Murder and rape are just plain wrong but the questions you choose to discuss aren’t wrong like that; they simply lead in various directions, some fruitful some unhelpful. I think JustDave was saying Smiley’s OP question was the wrong one in that sense.
 
Humans: what can I say other than we tend to make things much more complicated than it really need be
by how we approach a topic and with the understanding we lean to of it.
How boring would life be if we were all Hakuna Matata 24/7?

Maybe we could test the value of the question logically. I'm not sure. It might require a team of experts in formal logic. For me, it's a judgement call based on another question, "Is it worth it?" Trick, leading, irrelevant, diversionary, and whether it is the right question could be used in the evaluation. Of course, none of this may be helpful, but we can discuss it further just to keep things going for awhile.

Hypothetically speaking, if God did create humans, why did he/she/they take a perfectly good monkey and fill it with anxiety?

Ha ha .... well, every invention usually has a prototype (A beta version) to work out the bugs.
Granted, this is an abnormally long testing phase, but perhaps Humans 2.0 is in development.
Either that, or maybe God couldn't raise the capital for improvements, so we may end up as the Edsel in the hall of primates.

Excellent description of our possible future. I remember when the Edsel was introduced in a glory of fanfare followed by an immediate lack of interest from the public. I never did understand what was so bad about an Edsel. Maybe people who buy Fords don't want Cadillacs, because I remember them being rather expensive. I've never been in an Edsel. Has anyone here been in one?

Sorry I avoid all religious discussions... It only causes issues otherwise.

It's seems like quite a while since we had this issue. I've kind of enjoyed the absence. I think it helps not to take this one too seriously, which I've managed to do so far. <fingers crossed>

That required a google:
"Hakuna matata" is a Swahili phrase that means "no worries" or "no trouble." It became widely known through the Disney movie The Lion King, where it is used to convey a carefree attitude towards life.

I saw that movie too. I don't remember the Hakuna matata part though.

Yes, I got to ride in an Edsel once. My buddy's parents had one, so he got to drive it once in a while. It was pretty cool actually I thought.

Yes, there must have been something about it that wasn't the cause of it's demise.

Ford did make some bad business decisions. Remember the Thunderbird? It started as a moderately cool sports car, but was embarrassingly outclassed by the Chevy Corvette that arrived at about the same time. So rather than improve the Thunderbird, Ford made if 4 times bigger and added back seats to pass off as family style deluxe thing-a-mo-bob , which may have been slightly more popular than the Edsel.

Ford now teams up with Mazda and sells the Miata in their Ford Mazda showrooms, so they sort of have a sports car offering. Of course the Miata does not pretend to compete with the Corvette, but it is sexy in a less pretentious way and is popular enough to keep building more of them.

I love peace and tranquility the same as the next person but if we didn't have different ideas to learn from or
grow empathy from, we'd just be loving every post and never learning anything. It's just the hyper-tension
over-heated stuff that gets to me.
 
Have you ever considered that maybe we are a source of entertainment for God? What else has God got to do? We've got heroes and villain's, comedy and tragedy, love and hate. We're the greatest show on earth.

Didn't Shakespeare write something like: The world is a stage, and we are all actors upon it.
