Why Did God Create Atheists?

There is a famous story told in Chassidic literature that addresses this very question. The Master teaches the student that God created everything in the world to be appreciated, since everything is here to teach us a lesson. 

One clever student asks “What lesson can we learn from atheists? Why did God create them?”

The Master responds “God created atheists to teach us the most important lesson of them all — the lesson of true compassion. You see, when an atheist performs and act of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that god commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his acts are based on an inner sense of morality. And look at the kindness he can bestow upon others simply because he feels it to be right.”

“This means,” the Master continued “that when someone reaches out to you for help, you should never say ‘I pray that God will help you.’ Instead for the moment, you should become an atheist, imagine that there is no God who can help, and say ‘I will help you.’”

I guess Shadowrun is almost post-apocalyptic? It’s dystopian-futuristic fantasy at least.

Whatever happened to post-apocalyptic fantasy?

Stories set in worlds where our civilization died in nuclear fire, but a new one of elves and orcs and wizards arose from the ashes.

Where did those go?

any video game ever: [has anybody in the cast that is Not human] you fuicking hooligans: can i fuck tha,t

the queen would probably be curious enough to not want to sic her Wolves upon Jak

conversely, what happens afterward with Skolas might cause Jak to reawaken some pre-resurrection memories?

I know it’s currently a pretty impossible scenario, but taking Jak through the Black Garden story and seeing the cutscenes in the Reef provides an interesting scenario.

Like… what would he even do? Cayde didn’t even want him to be able to leave Earth, so it’s almost certain no one’s told him there are friendly Eliksni working for the Awoken. But then if he goes out on this lil mission and gets out there and sees Variks and sees the Queen’s guards…

Would he be happy? Would he be upset? Would he just be confused? Would the Eliksni there even bother to talk to him, since he’s a Guardian now and no longer one of them?
