The Problem of Evil combined with the problem of Free Will

[Valyza1]

Because skeptics love asking questions and coming to understand things.
And most of those who actually believe in God would want as many people as possible to share this blissfull experience and share in their happynes.

I know I did when I was one.

I understand the drive, but I meant given the limitations, why would anyone suppose the drive could be met? The skeptic requires evidence, which can't be provided to skeptical satisfaction and a spreader of the faith requires acceptance of the premise, which can't be transferred to a skeptic.

That comment seems to be out of left field anyway.  Plenty of people are satisfied with the explanation of god's ways that has been provided to them, regardless of their fallibility as humans, or the fallibility of the communicator presenting the explanation.

There are billions of satisfied believers in the world......... and no shortage of atheists who feel that believers have explained their gods way's satisfactorily. Hell, I'm satisfied? I just don't believe in their god, and wouldn't be an acolyte even if they were right (in most cases, specifically because they were right about some of their god's ways, satisfactorily explained).

True. My question was a bit ill-phrased. I was referring specifically to the interchange between believers and skeptics to defend/examine Faith. There is a futility to the attempt to adjudicate the rational legitimacy of a non-rational process.
