Re: I am affronted by the presence of god
There's this amazing BBC Radio 4 comedy called Old Harry's Game who stars Satan as the main character.
In it, we get an interesting view of Christianity that I find refreshing and don't see too often.
In it, Satan is basically the antihero that a good amount of the time tries doing the right thing even if it is for all the wrong reasons.
god, meanwhile, is a tired cranky old man that accidentally created the universe and got saddled with it by virtue of there not being anyone else to deal with it.
In the series, god's all-knowingness is often questioned, even by god himself. There is a notable point when he visits hell feeling depressed because his omniscience means he never experiences surprises anymore. One of hell's denizens asks him if he was omniscient, how did he not see his boredom / depression coming, which fills him with joy because he realizes he can still be surprised.
Satan and his minions also often point out that god's omniscience isn't as omni as it once was.
This conversation has built up a lot of tension, so I thought I'd bring this up and share an amusing little clip from the show.
during this clip, creation has broken down to the point where a dog and a baby accidentally ended up in hell, so Satan has gone on a quest to find god and talk him into restoring order once more.
Unfortunately, he finds him uninterested in doing anything, as he's too busy painting the beautiful world he created.
Anyway, for those of you interested, the link can be found here.
