One sentence that throws the problem of evil out of the window.

Allah doesn't seem to be doing so hot on that count either.  

Quote:God created evil, but he also created good, and orders only with the good. He doesn't ask people to commit immoralities, he doesn't command with evil. Evil is a created possibility; but it's always caused by those creatures that choose it.
Magic books say otherwise.  Whose authority, in this regard...should we defer to?  Yours, or magic books?  

Quote:Human dictators only commit selfish evil, and really incapable of something "that good" like creating mercy or paradise.
So, if Hitler had built a nice shiny city, maybe paved the streets with the powdered skulls of dead jews.....all that evil would have been a-okay?  

See, again, you're explicitly confirming the PoE.  Allah is evil, but you're looking forward to all the gingersnaps in the sky.

No. The Quran says exactly this; I quoted it a lot but you don't seem to read.
Here it is; again;thank you for making me recite the verses of the book; I swear it's an honor:

Quote:Sura 67, The Quran:
( 2 )   [He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -

Quote:Sura 23, The Quran:
( 80 )   And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?
Quote:Sura 2, The Quran:
( 9 )   They [think to] deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.
( 10 )   In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.

Can Hitler create mercy between parents and children? can he create sympathy ?
All I knew he is capable to create is destruction and propaganda, and lots and lots of nationalistic sick mentalities.
