Are you absolutely, 100%, without doubt that god is not real?
For the record, I'm an agnostic, and I believe that for all practical purposes god is not real.
However, since science is progressive and is continually evolving as new evidence comes out, does that mean we should be ready to change our beliefs if the evidence came out?
But back to the topic, the presence of evil in the world has no bearing on the existence of a god or gods. The presence of evil simply demonstrates that there is a presence of evil. And it would seem that if there were an omnipotent god, that he would be evil considering the amount of evil in the world.
So what we are disputing here is not the existence of god, but whether god is all-loving or downright evil.
Yes, I'm sure. There is no god, gods or higher power of any sort.
By the way change your religious view from "Agnostic Atheist" to just "Agnostic". You can't be both things.
