I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.

    Someone that is wildly happy with their life is not thinking how life is so terrible and evil.

    This isn’t a zero sum game.

    You can be happy and recognize that life is also terrible and evil.

          The whole post is a matter of opinion. Are you claiming people with shitty lives will just as likely to have the OPs opinion of someone living a good life?

                I definitely do not mean that as that would be very, very wrong. Most animals are sentient but they do not question things.

                  I dont know about how animals brain work, but someone questioning something doesnt indicate any higher levels of intelligence as far as I am aware. I think we would both agree that people questioning if the earth is flat doesnt mean they are smarter than usual for that question.

                    Well, it does.

                    I think we would both agree that people questioning if the earth is flat doesnt mean they are smarter than usual for that question.

                    Just because asking question is an indicator intelligence doesn’t mean everyone that asks a question is intelligent. It’s a corallation. Also you can be intelligent while also being misinformed or having wrong facts. They are not mutually exclusive.
