But according to the scriptures of your religion, the god character is capable of realising possible worlds were there is no suffering and people have freely come to beleive and worship him. Heaven and Eden to name 2 examples. Therefore god can realise a better outcome, does not have to allow the greater good to emerge through suffering and thus that argument fails.(November 7, 2010 at 7:56 am)Captain Scarlet Wrote: Well if something undesirable was about to happen and you could neither prevent it nor did you know about it, you are of course blameless. But if you did know it would happen and were able to help prevent it, you may carry some responsibility for allowing it to happen.God allowed it because he was going to use it to bring about a greater good.
