Divine Hiddenness

[R00tKiT]

He created an afterlife? Really, tell that to the 6 million Jews whom were gassed and shot and butchered. God, "What a gag that was that Holocaust thing, such a hoot, but now you get to hang out with me."

Come on man, can you smell the shoe shine you are shoveling? Why would I worship a being that would allow such horrors to happen, because he promises me I can hang out with him in an after party? 

Nazis gassed the Jews, not God. I'll help you out wth your case for evil : 9 million children under the age of 5 die every year for natural reasons.

Okay, so..? Maybe these children are in heavenly existence right now, and we, meanwhile, are stuck in this world discussing evil, who's better off you think? No conclusive argument from evil was ever made. This is common knowledge for anyone who actually read something about the problem of evil. Also, if you are willing to discuss it seriously, this is a problem only under theism, you also have to explain why there is goodness in this world, and prove that evil outweighs goodness in some sense.

"Its [the problem of evil] central thesis [...], is a thesis that no one has been able to establish by a convincing argument" (Philosophy of religion, an introduction - William L. Rowe)
