God Is Evil
#35
RE: God is Evil
I think this topic had kind of been beat to death however it does remind me of a pet peeve of mine. I hate it when Atheists refer to God and automatically mean the Christian version of God. There are so many other concepts of God out there, most of whom aren't considered to be omni-benevolent. I actually doubt that early Christians an seriously doubt that early Jews considered their God to be all good so the argument only really applies to the modern era as well. The problem of evil actually doesn't do anything to counter the existence of God, just one very specific deity that not even all Christians accept. I think it's an overused argument that isn't really that thought out by most people.
