Scheme Of Test And Nihilism
@faisalharoon Sb, you have made your whole point proving the existence of God which I never denied, I mentioned explicitly that it cannot be denied no matter what. My confusion is around the scheme and method of examination, and the suicide stats were just one little fact to point out in that direction. I got the stats from WHO: https://www.who.int/news/item/09-09-2019-suicide-one-person-dies-every-40-seconds And you are right it *seems* insignificance when compared with the rest of the population but I think would be absolutely unfair if we totally neglect them as exceptions. I just want to know that when God could have created an ideal world, why didn’t he? Why did he chose this gruesome scheme of examination? He is God, he could have made a million other schemes that would be less cruel and still serve the purpose. Now you may say, I am trying to grasp the doings of God with my limited knowledge but unfortunately that’s all that I have, he has given me the ability to question. I know God is merciful but it just doesn’t make sense to me why choose this scheme and method? Has this been explained or answered in the Quran? I ask you, for a second, to just forget any concept of a supreme being and just become human, nothing more and nothing less. In this state, if you are given the power to either create an ideal world where there is no suffering and misery or create a world that is full of them? Which option would you choose? I am sure that almost everyone will choose the former, I just want to ask why God being the almighty chose the latter?
It might be a logical absurdity for humans since they are limited in everything. If you are saying that this was the best scheme of examination that God could come up with then this really doesn’t help. I guess why God chose this would remain a mystery and we will have to ask him about it and he will guide us. Thanks for the response!
