But Ze, don't you see how an amputee is NOT gonna be able to enjoy the bounties of life when he's missing an arm or a limb? He won't be able to trek in the wild, play the guitar, be able to dance, ride a bike, etc. Why wouldn't god heal amputees and let them enjoy all the bounties of life?
He would be doing better for the same reason that you mentioned: to elongate life so that we can enjoy the bounties of this transit. You already mentioned that he's provided tools to help us in our lives. All I'm asking is why he doesn't take another step and help the amputees? Not doing so would seem very inconsistent with his desire to help humans, and that help he's provided so far(the tools n stuff) would seem like a half-assed effort at helping. Neither inconsistency not half-assed-ness is a quality that's befitting of a god.
No, if god did away with everything bad, then it sounds to me like we'd be living in heaven. No more war, suffering, people exploiting each other, harming each other, or more importantly, destroying mother nature for his own needs.
But to you, this finite, bountiful, painful and interesting life is only a "transit" to this infinitely bland, boring, meaningless place called heaven where I'll never step into a puddle of water or have interesting conversations with people.
Also, hypothetically, do you really have the guts to tell, say, an ISIS hostage who'll be tortured and beheaded, that life is "interesting" and that all the bad that Allah is allowing to happen to him is all a test to see how he does? Would you really say something like that to someone who's going through immense torment and suffering and would rather have it end(maybe through an act of god?)
It's perfectly possible that the one true god could have just one, or maybe zero followers whereas a false one could have the whole world believe in him.
Truth isn't determined by popularity.
