Unsurprisingly, I dont.
I think the existence of good/evil supports Christian doctrine.
The atheist who thinks there's no such thing as good/evil has a much better developed atheology than the atheist who needs someone to blame FOR the existence and consequences of evil.
I would be interested to ask any atheist parents here, why/if they brought children into a world where they knew there is pain and evil. Is it moral to bring children into such a world?
This is one of the most thought provoking conclusions I came across in researching the moral argument: That we don't have a meaningful definition of good and evil without a necessary objectivizing source. Subjectivism, more so than anti-realism serves as such a poor source of real moral values that William Lane Craig's moral argument is rendered VERY powerful. Perhaps much more powerful than even he realizes because if he pressed the atheists he was debating, I'm sure he would be able to embarrass them immediately in front of the audience without even trotting out anything else.
Are you familiar with the logically possible/metaphysically possible paradigm?
