What are you saying?
That you recognise the evil in the world, hold no candy cotton ideas about it, yet continue to believe? That's what I'm saying. I recognise that. What I'm asking is why would one continue to believe when it is clear that god created an earth and subsequently either created evil or let evil come into it.
When parents are bring up their kids, they don't want their kids exposed to violence, sex, and drugs. Instead, they do their best to keep them out of the home. It's in the nature to be protective like that. And I'm sure that if they had the power to do it, they'd keep their kids well clear of any interfering force.
God's all powerful. God's something akin to a parent. So why would god create a world, create a race to worship him, if he lets them be exposed to all kinds of 'sin'? It would seem that god is more like a lazy parent than an omnipotent deity.
