@Humpleupagus @Escoffier @judgedread @pepsi_man Congratulations, you have reinvented the problem of evil. Stone Choir’s answer is that millennia of demon worship, and the cannibalism and inbreeding that went with that, is what made them what they are today (they’re young earth creationists because you cannot retcon evolution and Scripture). Evil isn’t just a hypothetical, it has real-world consequences. If you’re interested in hearing more, they did a five-part series on race and an episode on the temporal effects of sin called “Against the Clockwork Universe”, I highly recommend all of it.
