Quote:Was it moral for God to expel Adam and Eve? He had freely given them Paradise. He had warned them not to eat of a particular fruit, while giving them complete and absolute freedom to eat any other.Putting the fruit there in the first place was evil. Giving humans freedom but not absolute wisdom and foresight was evil. Hell not simply making the fruit incapable of being eaten was evil. The idea it was just to condemn them when he could simply have prevented them from doing it in the first place while still giving them a choice was evil.
Quote:As for God's Authority to allow temporal chastisements as a consequence of sin, if even mere human authorities punish offenders by jailing them or sometimes capital punishment, then God even more has the right to inflict such penalties, which more often are remedial measures than anything else. If someone, on seeing a temporal difficulty, repents and turns to God, he saves his soul and goes to Heaven to enjoy Eternal Life.No human authority condemns someone for eternity even the death penalty (which is also evil ) is only for life and life is not eternal and not all punishing authorities are just. Would you call the authorities of north korea just for locking people up for criticizing the government? Also, evil regimes reward people who submit to the tyrant that doesn't make the tyrant just it simply means he rewards those who submit to him.
Quote:When viewed in the Light of Eternal Happiness, which is an Infinite Good because it lasts forever, a small amount of temporal pain is infinitesimal.Nope hurting someone for any length of time is evil. If a child abuser beats his son him giving the child infinite ice cream afterward does not wash away the evil he's done. Any being who could do something with causing suffering but seems to purposely go out of its way to create suffering is not a good being.

“No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
