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

RE: The argument against "evil", theists please come to the defense.
"Quite clearly your initial premise is flawed. Does "unnecessary suffering" exist? There may well be sufficient moral reason for all suffering. For example, if Stalin had been born with the type of mental illness you describe the lives of millions would have been saved. I'm not saying that all mentally ill people are somehow mass murderers being punished, I'm simply showing that morally sufficient or even "necessary" reasons can exist for suffering, which negates your initial premise."



Pure rubbish above.

So, because Stalin was the way he was, therefore god and satan? Holy shit is all that is.
