One sentence that throws the problem of evil out of the window.
RE: One sentence that throws the problem of evil out of the window.
It kinda disgusts me when anyone thinks that it wouldn't be preferable if the world had never existed, as if the beauty and love in the world makes up for the utter horror in the world. It really actually disgusts me. I know it would be unrealistic for me to ever expect many people to agree with me that a non-existent world is better than a world in which the most horrific things happen. But I do feel incredibly disgusted about that fact, that the majority of people think anything can be worth it. I ask myself "Has anyone actually THOUGHT about the unthinkable? Because if they did surely they would realize that nothing is worth it unless they're completely heartless."

No heaven or eternal paradise would be worth it either.

EDIT: Okay . . . let's try and make it easier. Imagine you're God right now. Imagine the world doesn't exist yet. You have the choice to make a world that has both child rape and animal torture in it, and also love, flowers, sex and beautiful music. Do you make that world?
