Why don't we slaughter every dog in the city when one attacks somebody?
We are not omnipotent, omniscient beings who have the ability to resolve the problem through any other method imaginable. If we were, killing the dog would be immoral if we believe it is immoral to kill without necessity.
Quote:Your solution to the problem of evil is an unworkable fantasy. Or a fantasy where love and hate can't exist. I prefer Gods reality, this one, where love is an option, and not a life of brain death.
God is all knowing and all capable until such attributes make his actions look needlessly cruel. Then, all of a sudden, God has so many limitations. Why do you constantly attempt to justify your god's use of violence by comparing his actions to humans who are supposed to be so far less righteous and capable and knowing?
A God who can't come up with a solution that doesn't involve mass-murder is a God who doesn't know everything. A God who won't come up with one is malicious. There is no exception.
