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.
That may as well say "Evil exists, yes, but who cares? It's worth it."
That doesn't throw the problem of evil out the window. Suffering may be "worth it" to you, but that doesn't mean it's better to have it than to not have it.
The problem of evil is that evil exists and had to have come from somewhere. Supposedly, God created everything, but God is all good. So why does evil exist? That is "The Problem of Evil".
It's solved to me because God doesn't exist. Therefore evil can exist, there is no "all good" being who claimed to have created everything(which would include evil).
