No ... clearly not, as a believer in an Abrahamic God. Or the God of the Vedas, for that matter, and the God of a number of other traditions, from the First Nations of Australia to the First Nations of the Americas.Are we in agreement that God did NOT create the natural order?
If not God, then how?
Creation is not necessary.Physical creation is not necessary.
But if they happened beyond God's power, then God is not God, so there's a contradiction here.If both just happened to happen, beyond God’s ability or power, then God is not guilty of the sin of allowing unnecessary suffering.
Well as all the Traditions argue that God is not a sociopath ... is there any chance it's you who might be wrong?Otherwise, creation itself is a sin in relation to an all-powerful God, Unless God Himself is a sociopath who has no responsibility for loving the creatures that belong to His Creation.
No, this is ridiculous – You're putting God and a 'murderous nurse' in the same category, as subject to the same impulses. a category error.It would be ridiculous to accept the contradiction of all-powerful and all(truly)-loving. The analogy of the poisoning nurse simply points out the ridiculous contradiction.
I'm not sure you think of the meaning of Love or Power beyond its manifestations in the world.
They're the same thing. Power is the flow and the draw of Love. The world misuses both, and that seems to be the limit of your definitions.
