  • Religious people whose religion tells them their god is inherently good or benevolent and all-powerful (Abrahamic ones for example) feel a cognitive dissonance when they see that evil exists in the world, and thus have to discuss it with each other in order to figure out the best doublethink to maintain their religion

    To those of us not trying to prop up a fundamentally self-contradictory belief system it’s not an important thing to think about _at all because our beliefs don’t require conflicting statements to be true



  • Maybe it’s because free will exists.

    Then God shouldn’t have given it to us, still his fault, OP still applies

    Maybe there’s a greater purpose for what we call “evil” that results in more good.

    Then God should have given us the understanding of it so we’re not left to question him, OP still applies

    Maybe it’s a definitional thing, where “evil” to us is always going to be the most-evil existent thing so if existing evils were gone “evil” would still exist but it would consist of aggressive kitten licks or something. So “evil” can’t not exist, but it’s not because God can’t get rid of what we call “evil” now.

    Shitty point, we have a clear definition of what these evils are currently and yet nothing is done about them. Maybe if we somehow lived in a world that no longer had the evils we see today you’d have a point but this is just a silly one


  • Been thinking about swapping away from Plex when I move to New hardware later this month

    If I’m reading all this right sounds like Overseerr and Plex both can be replaced with this, as well as a unified app for the two?

    If so I’m def getting this installed and testing it out this weekend, my goal for a while has been to get the rest of my family into my streaming ecosystem but having to use 2 whole apps (Plex and Overseerr on a website) is enough to scare them away despite using 6 apps currently
