The Watchmaker: my fav argument

[R00tKiT]

I don't get it why you fools still allude to the problem of evil. We are not omniscient beings, THEREFORE we cannot say "kiddie cancer is inherently bad". What if these dead children are having better lives than you and I at this moment, right now ? So, again ...are you an omniscient being ?

This is precisely the type of thinking that makes religious ideas so dangerous. it excuses any amount of evil perpetrated in life because the dead people 'may have a better life now'.

Seriously, if child cancer is NOT an evil in your mind, then you need to re-evaluate your whole morality. ANYTHING said as an excuse for it only undermines your moral system and shows it to be vacuous.

I am not excusing anything, don't strawman my position, please. I am pointing out that we simply don't have complete information, and thus cannot assert stuff like "a deity who allowed this is incompetent". After all, it's this same deity who gave us instincts, feelings and reasoning ability which permit self improvement.

P.S. to the christian fool who gave kudos to your comment, go defend your three headed god first and fix your logically flawed doctrine, before talking about evil and competence.

Don't you dare speak about evil, John Breezy! ;

Exodus 21:20-21 (NIV) “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

Good might be subjective... my ass.
