In your religion or informed opinion, what is the consensus you have arrived at when referring to people who are born with mental illnesses that make them incapable of believing, comprehending, following God and morality in general. As a confused Agnostic I cant comprehend why an all powerful being would create a possibility in which people are predisposed to go to hell being given no choice or test of free will.
One example I can think of is an atheistic psychopath (please dont get caught up on one example, I'm referring to any form of mental illness that can cause this). An atheistic psychopath, a person who does not believe in God and has chemicals in their brain that make them want to kill, ots easy for us to comment on their actions and be decisive and judgmental of their spiritual position, but to them they are incapable of processing it's wrong, they have no moral code and they're just doing what they're brain tells them to, they would go to hell right? The persons brain is telling them to kill the same way our brains tell us to have sex or eat food. This person has ZERO reason not to kill somebody or commit other sins. I'm just confused as to why an all powerful being who would prefer us follow their moral code create humans that are incapable of doing so? Other examples would be split personality disorder, schizophrenia, extreme environment, I cant think of names for more but theirs definently more that are capable of creating this scenario.
TDLR: why would god make a human incapable of doing right in his eyes when he is an all powerful being?
That is: if Marxism is materialist and not idealist, then what is the motivating force behind class struggle? I have heard it said that abstract moral concepts like human rights and freedom are not meaningful in a Marxist framework, since those concepts look different depending on the ruling class. But Marxists are committed to changing the world for the better and liberating the oppressed; is this not an abstract moral concept?
The Moral Argument for the existence of God hinges that there are objective moral values and duties and God is the source of those values. It's a popular argument and it floats heavily when addressing God's actions in general or just morality. A common rebuttal to the argument is a simple fact that God himself has done certain things that are inhumane at best, and completely insane at worse. Actions range from approving/writing very evil and damaging laws ancient Hebrews had to follow, to outright just ordering genocide and other war crimes.There are justifications and defences of course. But to be honest, the justifications mostly seem to be asserting God's authority and reinforcing the foregone conclusion of his omnibenevolent. And the problem starts there, people accept that genociding is okay when under God's authority.
Having a stable, and significant group of people who accept and are fine with the war crimes being committed due to religious context is rather scary. What's even scarier is that people would also admit doing these crimes if they were certain God has ordered them. To me, it shows a potential danger that Christianity and other religions have if they have the right convincing.
Of course, most people will likely never want to burn their coworker alive. But if God was to step in and order the action directly, I don't want to see what people decide. Even if God hopefully doesn't exist the threat lingers. After all, it just takes one cult leader or moron to convince a bunch of people to do destructive shit and they'll do it for the sake of God. That's certainly happened numerous times.

I suppose the question, "Would you kill your son if God said so," is an extremely important one with far-reaching consequences. As it potentially shows that people are capable of evil and destruction and it wouldn't even take much to do it.
Okay so they say they want βworkersβ to be in control..But how the hell are we supposed to have cool things like iPhones, PlayStations ect without private innovative corporations/ceos who specialize in designing and coming up with the stuff? We cant just have random ass every day workers be completely in charge of products like these, otherwise theyd turn to crap and wed have no form of entertainment or technology. Also, is the person who spent hundreds of unpaid hours to get their company up and running off the ground without even knowing for sure if theyd be successful or not not a βworkerβ? I mean they INVENTED the company for crying out loud. I think it was a hell of a lot harder to create the Apple company then it is to get a job at the Apple store dont you think?
Edit: Wow its nice to have people actually answer my questions for once instead of immediately getting banned like when i tried asking these questions on other communist pages lmao
