Cognitive dissonance is emotionally painful, yet a good teacher will induce cognitive dissonance in her pupils to facilitate learning. A bad teacher will seek popularity in the classroom and everyone will love her. Who is the good teacher and who the bad?
Evil deeds are sometimes good teacher but mostly not.

If we leave it up to students to decide who is a good teacher, they won't learn anything .

1. Students have to like you and your class because if they are in this state of mind they will be more relax and more creative
2. Not all students are competitive. Some of them require gently approach to problem, advice and team work
3. You can possess a lot of knowledge about your subject but if you cannot inspire them to love your subject then you are just facts teller which is boring for the most of them.
4. You cannot just give them some exam and say do this. It is boring too. And most of them will just look to class pass.
5. If you think that you are good teacher because you are too much serious about your subject and love using punishment as method to humiliate them you are not!
6. You are here to learn them not just to learn things but also to love learning things.
7. Marks of your students and your skills to pass them your knowledge IS what you give the title "good teacher"

Passing on knowledge is not learning. Learning is discovery.

  1. We are talking about relationship between teacher and student.
  2. To discover something the one first must not be known.
  3. Students from teachers learn about known things about world.
  4. And teacher's job is to pass his knowledge on them and inspiring to go further, although a few will go that way.


So you have to choose between need of many who wlll be lost without "good teacher" and who will cause in future further decadency of society or need of few who will find that way no matter of quality of their teacher.

If you mean on god of Abraham religions then no. God does evil and also said evil comes from him. :)

He only seems to do evil if you anthropomorphize him and don't actually recognize his deity and all the characteristics that come with it.

You have things backwards.
You're assuming God owes people something. You're treating him as a human. You, as a human, are creating a standard for a God. That's silly.
He's divine, all-powerful, and the law himself. The fact that he has mercy on humans and allows them to experience any good things is what's amazing.

It's really boring when you repeat the same point 3 times over without any introspection or thought.

God who makes mistakes, who fix mistakes by some poor kind of magic which you can find in many others myths is NOT " all-powerful" being.

This isn't an argument. You just defined God out of being all-powerful with assertions.

What's your basis for claiming he makes mistakes?

Also, you seem to be changing what you're saying.

Before you said he was doing evil...
If commit genocide , killing babies in front of mothers eyes, sanding bear to rape children , promote cleansing of entair cities who worship others gods etc is not evil you are ignorant person or very unethical.

Now you're saying he makes mistakes. Which is it?

You are the one who define his as "all powerfull" or you forget? BTW one of God's Holy Name's is El Shaddai which "all-powerfull" but when you read the Bible you will see that is just the name.
Which? Both. He did evil and made mistakes.

Yes, and I'm consistent in how I describe his characteristics and his actions.

Where do you get the standard by which you judge God?

God's logic sound like "You create something and that somethihg is taken off contol and then you try fix this over and over again.' God does not have a clue what he does. He blame his creation for everything he made! Things ger worst when you put "know-it-all" , "all-powefull" title to him because he is not. He is very shot side being who act in the moment of his impulses conatnaly fight with his wrong experiment like the universe is the machine who need to be fixed it. This is not omnipotence at all because omnipotence is when Being creare something and don't intrevent to lower worlds. God of Abraham knows how things will work and then show anger on his creations!

The genocide is justified because he's God... Yeah. Definitely worthy of my worship. :unsure:
