The argument against "evil", theists please come to the defense.

[FallentoReason]

As a former Christian, I used to say to this that Epicurus lived before the time of Jesus. God was willing to an extent to do something about it, hence why he sent Jesus. Do you think this is theologically satisfactory?

Nope, especially since a) he didn't send Jesus from the start

Hence why I said theologically

and b) Jesus failed.

I take it as a non-believer this is obviously your view because the Bible simply fails. Yes... I agree, but I was merely talking hypothetically/theologically. Learn to think outside the box a little

Really.-

Theology is intellectual masturbation. RATIONALLY, the argument is nonsense:


Human society lived and suffered for thousands of years before Jesus. What took God so long? Why to this day,does this help,um not help so as I've noticed,and such a small proportion of humanity? Why does evil and suffering still exist,on a massive scale,even among the most devout and innocent?

They're all really good questions. I never went beyond my initial argument because my 'opponent' would get stumped after I said God sent Jesus. Mind you, these people were some non-Christian friends I had who don't have debating experience.
