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

When you have some evidence for any of those mythological beings, you'll get back to me, correct?

When you have evidence that God doesn't exist, you'll get back to me; correct??

I'm talking about starving children with diseases.
But I think it's clear you realized you lost this debate, so now you have to grasp at straws.

Which reside in a Country, OTHER then the US.

Have you grabbed enough floaties, to keep you above the water line?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I don't believe in a god.

and who do you blame for forcing that decision on you?.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I have to be given the answer first.

so you are conditioned to wait until someone tells you what to think?.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Well I'm very lucky, I haven't suffered like others have. If there is a god, and he's good, why doesn't he help starving children in third world countries?

he did.......he sent you......

 

[kudzu]

Why don't the people of those countries use their FREE WILL to solve those problems, instead of using their FREE WILL to allow it to continue?

The help is there; but people have to dedicated to reaching the goal.

Free will?

Jesus mentions the tower in Siloam in the context of answering a question about a recent tragedy in Jerusalem.

Some people told Jesus about a group of Galileans who had come to the temple to sacrifice,
and Pontius Pilate slaughtered them, probably due to a public disturbance the Galileans were causing (Luke 13:1).


Jesus’ response is sobering: “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish” (verses 2–3).

“Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish” (Luke 13:4–5).

Thanks for the cut and paste; but it has nothing to do with my comment.

Would you care to give it another shot, so to speak??

The people that died when the tower at Siloam collapsed had no free will ..

Sure they did; but they choose to live there and this is just you trying to circumvent your inability to stay on task.

I think the point is that bad stuff happens to good people thru no fault of their own.

 

[StoneByStone]

he did.......he sent you......

Which is nice and all, but I'm not rich enough to help every single suffering child. Obviously, if there was a god, and he was good, we would have no disease or starvation.

Well I can't respond to an answer before I'm given it. I'm pretty cute, but I'm not psychic.

I agree, but that doesn't excuse the bad stuff that happen; because of trouble that they cause themselves, trough their own fault (free will).

not true.......God is good, its just that you fucked up and didn't get rich enough to do what he told you to do.........

this is post #173.......its sad you still don't know what the question is...........

Are you unaware of the Siloam story?

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Isn't that the one you keep referring to, where my response was:

But they chose to live there (FREE WILL) and this is just you trying to circumvent your inability to stay on task.

ANSWER: If there is so much soap in the world, why are there so many dirty people?

Think about it.

The answer is that Satan created Democrats, so as long as there are democrats, the Devil rules the earth.

The didn't live in the tower.. It fell on them.

 

[Damocles]

So why can't this god recreate the Garden of Eden, but this time don't give us a way to bring sin into the world?

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?
