Problem of Evil: Please Refute

[Problem of Evil]

1. God exists.
2. God is omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good.
3. A perfectly good being would want to prevent all evils.
4. An omniscient being knows every way in which evils can come into existence.
5. An omnipotent being, who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, has the power to prevent that evil from coming into existence.
6. A being who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, who is able to prevent that evil from coming into existence, and who wants to do so, would prevent the existence of that evil.
7. If there exists an omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good being, then no evil exists.
8. Evil exists (logical contradiction).

Re: Problem of Evil: Please Refute

That doesn't answer the problem. Why would a perfectly good God create evil? Or is the Christian God not considered perfectly good? If he is not perfectly good why follow his word?

Better yet: Why follow the word of one who creates evil?

Try it now. God is responsible for all of it. Once we accept that, there is no more problem with the alleged problem of evil.

Search function. Use it, kid. Epicurus has been addressed at least 150 times on this forum. You are neither original nor interesting in your truly pathetic attempt to get us to question God.

Well done, Sister Lycia!



I think the lesson to be learned here is: if someone wants to REFUTE the Bible, they should at least make the effort to READ it first.

Logical contradictions. Learn them.

Obviously God is either not perfectly good, not omnipotent, or not all-powerful. There is no way around this. No amount of wheedling can avoid this. So I ask you: Which one is it?

1. Is God not perfectly good? Then his word can not be trusted.
2. Is God not omnipotent? Then his word is not all-knowing.
3. Is God not all-powerful? Then his word may not be kept.

Any of the above three scenarios also present another problem. Another direct contradiction / fallacy in the Bible (alongside those which claim the earth is flat and is 6000 years old).

Yes it does. If you'd actually read the Bible instead of copy/pasting some old thing we've literally seen posted here thousands of times, you'd know that omnibenevolence is nothing more than an unscriptural lie perpetuated by fluffy bunny "God loves everybody!" types.

Better yet: Why follow the word of one who creates evil?

Because He's God. He's the one in charge, whether people like it or not.

Here's an analogy for you. When your boss tells you to clean out the deep-fryer, do you try to prove he doesn't exist?

Once again, search function, use it.

Nobody at Landover will tell you that God is "perfectly good" by any human standard when He acknowledges -- nay, boasts -- that He Himself creates evil.

You're not particularly bright, are you?

Your "logic" fails because you mistakenly assume we concur with your basic premise, an "all-good-by-fluffy-bunny-human-standards" God.

Your pathetic little challenge may work on false Christians who ignore the Bible for their fairy tales of a god that loves everyone they love and hate everyone they hate, but it won't work on anyone who actually follows the Bible.

Try reading it sometime, before assuming that ancient Greek philosophers know diddly about God.

Congratulations on your EPICurus FAIL.

Re: Problem of Evil: Please Refute

*** deleted crap they teach you in Philosophy 101 at a low-ranked liberal college ***

Trying to assign labels like "good" to God is pointless.

He made everything, and He is perfect: trying to put Him on some "morality scale" that a 1st year philosophy student barely comprehends is a fool's errand, one that will earn you an Eternity in the Lake of Fire©.

Enjoy!
