The problem of evil

[Scut Farkus]

You have a childlike mind, Fredo. Have you always been like this or was this something that developed over time?

Whining about what, Fredo? I'm simply pointing out fact. Fact which you admitted to doing.

you suck at assessing and analysis of all types.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Your angry reaction indicates otherwise, Fredo.

 

[Scut Farkus]

Your angry reaction indicates otherwise, Fredo.

I dispassionately identify the subpar.

THanks for your hysterics tho.

 

[Scut Farkus]

There is no evil just like there is no cold. Evil is the absence of good just like cold is only the absence of heat. Evil and cold are only terms we use to describe the absence of good and heat.

there is evil.

I'll wait for you to become passionate again with your bolded, enlarged font and emojis expressing anger and insults.

What hysterics are you claiming I'm expressing, Fredo? What indicates hysterics to you? The fact I disagree with you?

 

[Yakuda]

there is evil.

There is the absence of good which we call evil. There is no cold just the absence of heat

Ok. I'll wait for you too.

we were meant to be.

I disagree.

but what does it matter in this discussion anyway?

does that make evil "less bad"?

 

[Yakuda]

I disagree.

but what does it matter in this discussion anyway?

That's fine.

Not much. It's just.a sharing of ideas.

 

[Scut Farkus]

That's fine.

Not much. It's just.a sharing of ideas.

ok then.

 

[Yakuda]

ok then.

You're likely not to convince me of anything and I don't hold any expectation that I will convince you of anything. If you don't want to share ideas that's fine.

Agreed that evil is simply the absence of good.

Add to this that God doesn't condemn people to Hell, they go there willingly. God is all merciful. Evil people turn their backs on God and choose the darkness.

What is "transing children"?

 

[Scut Farkus]

What is "transing children"?

we see which side you're on.

carry on, evildoer.

this is why you lost.

We? You, yourself and Irene, Fredo? Have you been canoodling with Sybil?

Why can't you explain what "transing children" means? Do you know?

Since you believe I'm evil, will you try to murder me? Do you seek to murder people who you believe are on some side that is not yours? Will you use a gun or a bomb?

Thread Summary.

Evil can be conquered with the application of basic morality, which is rational and not confusing and supernatural.

 

[ZenMode]

Evil is subjective. What's evil to one person (abortion) is a right to someone else.

Evil is subjective. What's evil to one person (abortion) is a right to someone else.

Thanks. I commend your forthrightness.

Correct, that kind of moral relativism is a logical consequence of atheism and physical materialism.

on minor issues sure.

who thinks convincing children to sterilize themselves isn't evil?
