The problem of evil/suffering when it comes to children
#40
RE: The problem of evil/suffering when it comes to children
The problem of evil itself utterly defeats the claim of any truly omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent God.

If someone all powerful that knows everything was truly all loving, they'd exercise that power to do something about the horrible suffering in the world that they would know was going on.

The "Well, God gave people free will" counter to this is so fucking ridiculous. I don't even need to get into how retarded the concept of contra-causal free will is, even if it were possible--"Oh, he gave people free will" is the worst fucking excuse EVER. Seriously WTF? If "Gawd" was real he would be the SHITTIEST FUCKING CARETAKER THAT EVER FUCKING LIVED!

If criminals are running around murdering people do the cops say "Oh, it's okay because they have free will. It would be wrong to encroach on their freedoms we'll let them run around murdering. It's the new policy."?!!??

ETA: Any time any theist, (I don't care who they are), truly thinks, truly thinks, that God giving people "free will" is more important than stepping in to encroach on their "free will" if only to prevent murdering, torturing, starvation and raping, then I really really, really want to tell the aforementioned theist to go fuck themselves. And not in a sexy way.
