If Christianity is true, why is there so much evil in the world?

please take a moment and try to pretend there is relevancy in your post......what does the fact Jesus healed a blind man have to do with the topic?......

Probable because he's come to the realization that his original conclusion has failure written all over it and now has find a way to divert attention, away from his embarrassment. :D

The collapse of the tower of Siloam is not about Jesus healing a blind man. Its about free will.
 
Who said he cannot? Though this God did promise never again to bring destruction like the flood... so there is that. Do you think you'd be happy having your personality removed? Can you think of any other way you'd be able to live in a Garden of Eden?

Why would my personality be removed if there was no disease or hunger?
 
So you agree that it's FREE WILL.

Thanks :good4u:

You poor, dimwitted slob. The bible clearly indicates there is no free will. If you could ever be bothered to read it, you'd know that.

But then, you're a big enough sucker to believe in Pascal's Wager, that was dismantled and debunked as soon as it came out.
 
I disagree, but that's a different discussion.
Why can't this god remove disease and hunger from existence?

From all accounts disease and hunger were nonexistent until the creation sinned. So, if the original premise is true (that Christianity is true), then the Creator did create just such a place, but the creation couldn't stay the course and follow the rules. In the story that we are assuming is true in the original premise, he then finds them, speaks to them, clothes them, promises a future solution to bring humanity back to grace, then punishes them by making them struggle... they must work to till the soil, they must hunt... when previously they did not. He makes birth painful, but promises that through a woman he would deliver the promise of Grace...

Human action and righteous punishment is why we have struggles and difficulties, not from the start but only after they broke the rules.

So why can't this god recreate the Garden of Eden, this time without the tree of forbidden fruit? Why put the tree there in the first place?
And please don't give me a lame answer about "free will."

As I stated, who says this God couldn't do such a thing? Then I asked why you would want to live in such a place? If you are to create people rather than automatons you need to give them options, without choices free will is useless. If you have no choices but to sit around and sing praises to the God why would you want to exist in such a place?
