They never had a say in this just like how I never did either. God planned all of this. Every second. Every minuscule to every significant action. All the hate I've felt and feel is meaningless and futile. It will do nothing against God because it's part of Its plan.

Yeah, okay... I get it, now. You're a hardcore predestinarian. If there is a god, it really can't be any other way than that. I've known a few Christians who were total predestinarian. Everything is God's will.

Yep. If there's a god that follows the complete definition of "god," then free will is nonexistent. And if one believes in this, they must also see that God's will is neither divine nor malevolent. It just is. But, subjectively (or imo mostly objective) it's fucking madness.

Thinking about it too much and rationally (from my pov) is hazardous. Hence why I call God and eternity cognitohazards. Shit's the definition of cosmic lovecraftian horror.

I don't know that much about Lovecraft's beliefs, other than Cthulhu, which seems to be some kind of giant octopus or something lol
If God's in control of everything, then all the pressure is off of you. You just go with the flow. What is to be shall be.

Lol, it's all good. That's where the paradox and madness comes in. Knowing I have no free-will, I still am made to believe I have a choice and I'm programmed with empathy and all that shindig. Biggie octopus dude made us into paradoxical delirious poopets.

The "I" or the ego is a mental construct. It's really not a thing. So, it comes down to whatever is happening is just happening. Things appear to be happening. None of it's real. It just appears as such.
