The PoE argument is trying to prove that evil and God logically cannot exist. The burden of proof is on the atheist (the proponent of the argument). It is not successful (there are a variety of defenses) and most philosophers have moved on and it only continues to get discussed by the internet atheist.
If you want to attack free will, you have a long uphill climb. The only defense you have is the assumption of naturalism.
All kinds of things cause harm to people. Falling off a ladder for one. Nothing evil going on there.
You want God to save people from natural disasters? Isn't that a wholesale violation of free will? You wanting near constant miraculous intervention does not make the argument. God has sufficient reasons for not acting--one of them being preserving free will.
3. Of course we choose sin. No, we often don't create a temptation. But that is irrelevant.
4. That is what I believe based on study and experience. Do I know this to be true. No.
Internet atheist, thanks for the laugh. You're an internet christian, ha, ha, HAH! If you claim to be in real life then you're a hypocrite for making the "internet atheist" claim.
Still pimping your fantasy I see.
Here is the thing (yeah, watching reruns of Monk).
Your god (and tell me if I'm wrong) is all knowing, from second to second, omniscient, nothing can be other than foreseen. For a human, or anything else, even it's self (god), to do other than what your god has foreseen would unmake him as omniscient. Therefore no human free will, quite frankly, no god free will. Oh, ho, wait a minute, not naturalism, lack of fantasy delusion. The only reason for god not acting is lack of free will, on it's part or any other. It is as constrained by it's all knowing as are humans according to you belief.
Hold on, wait for it, the made up fantasy has a rebuttal in the works. They always do. Go ahead, rationalize and justify away. It's the same modus operandi as an addict. Trust me, I know.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
