(September 12, 2013 at 8:02 am)Faith No More Wrote: I see they trotted out the free will defense against the question of evil. Whenever I hear that, I can't help but imagine a Christian standing in a hosptial next to a comotase child that was raped and beaten by her attacker thinking, "At least I have free will."

Not to mention that that argument corners them into accepting that either there is no free will in heaven, or god can create a world where free will and the absence of evil are compatible.

Hogwash as usual.

Yea where was the "free will" of the child? So it would seem that God cares more about the "free will" of the attacker, than the victim, and on top of that is a sick voyeur who watched it and didn't stop it.
