If humans are made in God's image, a reflection if you will, God is an evil little rascal. God has a bit of "irreducible rascality" according to Alan Watts.
Humans crave violence, disaster and war through the media or direct interaction due to our primal nature. Who plays a video game where you shoot someone with love, or watch a movie where the good guy hugs the villain to life?
We crave violence, and so does God in our plane, even if God exists on a plane of pure love. We exist on the plane of suffering.
I always turn it back to self. Do
you crave violence, murder, disaster, and war?
I don't crave it. If I did, I would want more of it. If anything, I crave the opposite. I used to have a friend who didn't know nor want to know "the reality" of life, if you like. She has been Roman Catholic all her life and when I tried to tell her the different history of the Church both beneficial and consequential to humans, she didn't want to hear the other side. She was
raised to believe in the good nature of people and if she wasn't brought up in an environment that others believe crave evil, she'd probably not know what violence really means.
So, she doesn't crave it. I don't. My other friend doesn't. So, I wouldn't expect that we are the only ones who don't; so, that would be a huge generalization.
If anything, we don't crave violence until we are taught and/or around those who raised us who brought bad vs. good morality as a conduit to our thinking. If we didn't have that, but a teaching view, we would probably have more productive ways of solving problems. However, the survival of the fittest is misinterpreted as bad actions we
choose to make.
We-meaning you and I and everyone on this RF and outward.
Who is an exclusion and why would we crave violence and war as individuals?
That, and why is violence and war seen as bad if playing devil's advocate to morality. Nature has no morals. So....
