Part of the design of the world in allowing dark forces to lead people astray, is so there is battle, a fight, for guiding God's servants and helping his cause.
Of course God could of been a nanny protective type Creator which makes sure no evil or harm comes to all of us, but, there is a majesty in saying, "you can take it, you can do it, and you must do it, embrace my name, embrace my sword of honor, embrace the light of my face, take my help and call out for more of it from me or you will lose yourself in the battle against your enemies, and you must help the truthful ones and be with them for their cause is my cause, and be a mercy and favor to the humanity and I will increase my mercy and favor to you."
1) You can be sure of this how?
2) Why would a supreme being need to create it this way?
I promised yesterday I would explain why I go on these Atheist forums. I will post that, then reply to your inquiry.
Of course, I will not be attempting to prove to you that I know this or convince you, but simply explain my position on this issue so we come to mutual understanding of each other.
