Epicurean Paradox

[Drich]

Why does God allow sin? (A will apart from His own?) So that we may choose, whether or not we want to spend an eternity with God. In order for there to be a choice their must be true options. Ours are the expressed will of God or our own.

Now, imagine you are telling this to the parent of a child who was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered. Do you think you would be able to convince them that this is not malevolence, and how would you do so?

Why would I have to? in your scenario do the parents believe that God Himself kidnapped their baby? Or was it the result of Evil men? If it was the result of evil men then why would anything needed to be said to grief stricken parents, other than support and condolences?

If God was obligated to wipe out all evil, then wouldn't our names also be on His hit list? Would their be anyone alive after the age of accountability?

[i]I'm often trolled by atheists

I think you mean "I often lose arguments to smart people"

what post number did that quote come from?

Actually I got to that line in your post, and was like "Fuck this!"
I didn't even bother reading the replies already knowing what they would say.

Just in case you missed it, but everything in the slanted text was the concerns of someone else on another website. The only thing belonging to me was the original description of what I was doing (The first line) and the answer provided.

Sorry to burst your bubble but your railing against the wrong person. Unless this is just a hate for the sake of hating someone that thinks differently than you do post. If that is the case then know you and your message do not stand alone.
