The Problem of Evil and the Free Will Defense
#16
RE: The Problem of Evil and the Free Will Defense
(October 9, 2013 at 7:49 pm)Faith No More Wrote: The problem with the free will defense of evil is that it completely negates the concept of Christian heaven, unless the Christian is willing to acknowledge that there is no free will there. The problem with that, however, is that it demonstrates that free will is not so necessary that evil is an acceptable consequence of its existence. The argument is completely incompatible with Christian theology.

Throw in to that the fact that the christian god openly supports slavery.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
