Actually, if a deity existed, all of that could have been prevented. The reason you need so much bullshit to avoid admitting that simple obvious fact.
Because of evolution and the diversity of life, with coevolution, we find incredibly odd things in nature. You also have to find ways to explain why some monstrous parasites exist if your alleged creator is responsible for their existence. Satan did it still lacks evidence. But there's plenty of evidence of their evolution, it remains the best explanation.
Then similarly, you have to explain why indiscriminate natural disasters happen. With superstition, you even risk accusing people for those, just like with illness. History shows that this kind of ignorance is harmful to society and promotes conflict. The original post here may even suggest that when people get sick, we shouldn't focus on the actual reasons and solutions like medicine, instead we should play blaming games and resort to fatalist simplist nonsense like "God did it". Bullshit. Fuck third world savagery, we know better.
This really means that those who promote such nonsense are also harmful to society, willingly or not. When malice is involved, bad actors profit from the benefit of the doubt, "plausible deniability". That is sometimes actually used by your enemies in hybrid attacks against your society. It is also used by enemies of freedom within, working for corruption and the benefit of abusive elites who want to trick you into fighting and voting against your rights.
This reminds me that the current Trumpist regime still promotes the COVID-19 lab leak disinformation conspiracy theory, considered to simply be untenable by epidemiologists and virologists. Political blaming games profiting from general ignorance. Of course, the corrupt mob also promotes climate change denial. And now it promotes neo-Nazi regimes with interference overseas, just like Russia does. And it's now involved in domestic attacks against human rights and democracy. Including fighting efforts to prevent genocides and fascism and to protect true education.
Education is vital. Not submission to false and illegitimate authorities. This crackpot often uses "vital" there...
