Right now I have really bad indigestion from the antipsychotics that I am forcibly injected with wich I don't need(plenty of other horific side sfects and long term effects, you can Google it). I am so happy when I don't take the medication and dull right now. However I still believe in good God.Please keep taking your medication.
Quote:I believe that God created sentient beings and then at some stage some decided to be evil, so he created earth for them for something to do out of infinite compassion. And we have free will in choices we make in how we respond to any given situation wich decides wether we become good or evil.So the bot fly, the ringworm, and whatever made you psychotic decided to become "evil"? A compassionate god created them with a choice to become malevolent? How is that still not a malevolent designer?
If I created a machine that can choose wether to help or hurt humanity..and it decides to go on a killing spree...you will hold me blameless...right?
How can larva with special teeth designed to keep them from being pulled out of its human host be called "evil"? According to its species it is what it must do to survive.
Regardless, God "allowing" species to become evil is still not an infinitely compassionate god.
If I stood by and let someone chop you into little tiny bits slowly and painfully in the name of his freewill to do so...would that make me "infinitely compassionate"? Or would you expect me to help you? If I told you while he was cutting you up "Im way too compasionate to intrude into the murderers freewill", would you accept my stance as morally upright?
