If you were God, what kind of world would you make? At first I felt hesitant about posting this because I don't want to cause any religious disputes. But on second thought, I think it's alright as long as we don't attack any religions. So hopefully any respondents will tactfully avoid any religious attacks.
The answer to the question is Not as simple as it seems. In other words, I don't want an answer that simply says you want a world without any suffering. It has to be much more detailed than that. Because there is the matter of people hurting people. NObody wants to see people hurting each other. But the thing is that at the same time we realize that we want everybody to have Free Will, and with that Free Will also comes the choice of Disagreements--that each person wants something that somebody else hates, and everybody has different goals which often conflicts with someone else's goals.
Love itself is Not the answer. Because what if somebody has an infatuation, a crush on somebody, but that other person does Not like the person at all. Let's face it, that person is entitled to reject the other person, and the result is suffering. Or a bf and gf can have a relationship which lasts a couple of months, but then they get into a fight, so then the relationship ends, which results in one of them suffering heartbreak. And yet this is Unavoidable because a good God would want to give people Free Will, but that's what causes suffering.
When seen in that light, suffering is Unavoidable. BUT I believe a good God would prevent earthquakes and hurricanes which kill thousands of nice people. I don't know why a good God cannot prevent earthquakes and hurricanes. The two possible answers are (1)he is Not all-powerful and cannot prevent those catastrophes, or (2)he's all-powerful and can prevent them but chooses not to.
So anyway I put the question to you--if You were God, what kind of world would you make?
