    Theodicy is the the teological conundrum of how to square God’s omnipotence (can do anything) and omnibenevolence (absolute good) with the existence of evil in the world. A shitton of teologicians and philosophers tried to tackle the problem and usually failed miserably. Personally I never found any explanation to be convincing, until I came up with one and I honestly believe it is the only possible one.

    What if God just… isn’t very clever? He’s doing his best, ok?!

    Now, you may ask - if he’s omnipotent, couldn’t he increase his own intelligence? Yes he could. But he’s too stupid to realise that =(

        We don’t write the H there in my native Czech and I’m very hungover today, so I apparently fucked it up twice. Interesting that I did write “theodicy” correctly (I hope)

        I sometimes catch myself writing “Kanada” instead of Canada when not paying attention too.

          Ah, I was hoping it was more “te” as in “tea” to imply making shit “wisdom” up while looking at the bottom of a cup, or as in the Latin accusative/ablative “you” to imply Truth™ via argumentum ad populum. 🤪🤓
