why does god allow evil to exist

[Don Quixote]

if god is omnipotent, then why does god allow evil to exist

what purpose does the devil fulfill in the theological scheme of things

evil exists right now

 

[Minister of Truth]

You cannot be free without evil...

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

You cannot be free if a creator with full premonition of his actions created you.

 

[Don Quixote]

You cannot be free without evil...

is personal freedom and personal responsibility in there somewhere

predestination?

Ying and Yang. There can be no good with out evil and their can be no God with out a Devil.

God is a cartoon, you should watch bevis and butthead it's funnier

Exactly. God gives man free will. The fact that some create evil with theirs underscores the relative importance of free will in the grand scheme.

That's nice to say but it has no basis in reality. There can be good without evil and evil without good.

See all these assholes claiming evil is necessary for some fucked sense of symmetry? That's how they justify their own bad behavior.

God has ordered men to do evil deeds. Read the biblical tale of the battle of Jerico and the God ordered slaughter of women and children.

I therefore determine that God is evil as well.
Perhaps we are made in his image ?

Thank god for pantheism, religious freedom, and choices. The god presented by the BIG THREE is an extreme asshole.

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

God - at least the christian god, cannot do ANYTHING "wrong" or morally wrong. You know why this is, right? I can elaborate if needed. Once you understand that, you can go forward.

I prefer my version. I'm glad you agree.

He seems like an ass to me, with his commandments to kill children and smite neighboring tribes for no apparent reason.

If your answer is he can't do anything wrong because he's god, then I'm gonna have to laugh in your laughably theocratic and brainwashed face.

Premonition isn't the same thing as predestination. If I can predict what you will be doing in ten minutes, it doesn't make you any less free.

The "open theist" argument is a mound of bullshit.

What is the "open theist" argument?

 

[Cancel11]

What is the "open theist" argument?

That God cannot see the future, otherwise we wouldn't have free will.

It's a pile of horseshit.

I don't think symmetry has anything to do with it. The human population can be 100% good, 100% evil, or anything in between.

Yet that is the logic we're being presented with. It's fucking stupid, I agree.
