Argument from evil, restated

(May 26, 2013 at 7:49 pm)Origen Wrote: I, as a Christian, know this because I believe in the teachings of Christ. I believe Christ was the son of God because of the resurrection. I believe in the resurrection because of the witnessing unto death of the apostles. They all died proclaiming Christ's resurrection, there was nothing to gain by doing this but a hard life and early death, this witness is good enough for me. Other deists believe in the immortality of the soul for other reasons. We each get to God by different paths, but we all know one thing by his or her (since god is a unique being) very nature god is beyond our full understanding, but our experience of life has led us to an encounter with a divinity beyond the limit of space and time. I'd be very special indeed if I knew how god interacts with those who die in tragedy, but I do know he does. I've already said you're welcome to your despair and nihilism, why do you feel so threatened by belief in a god you believe does not exist. I'm not trying to convert you, I just want you to be aware that religion is not as easily dismissed as saying if god existed nothing bad would ever happen. That is the argument of a child, I won't believe 'cause life is shit. Read Sartre, he might help you.

Oh, so circular reasoning works because circular reasoning works, right?

Just so I know we're on the same page.

Please, do go on, you were assuming (asserting) I'm [we're] living a life of despair? I do so like being told what im thinking/feeling.

Read up on the word 'parody', it might help you.

You can't just make a vacuous statement like "circular reasoning works because circular reasoning works.." You need to demonstrate the circularity of my position.
I assumed you were lliving in despair because you seemed so concerned about all the evil in the world that god would prevent if there were a god. But your argument was just a parody?? Of what, of whom. Are you saying that you rage at the unprevented deaths of thousands as a means of mocking a god you don't believe in; that you really don't care about the sufferings of this world; that you use tragic deaths as a jest. So why do you really not believe in god?
