Ok, before the "God problem" you present . . .
Two people are in a room, person A and person B. Person A goes over to Person B and punches him/her in the face repeatedly.
Assuming that Person B does not want to be punched in the face, is there a problem? And how do we know?
Or how about this . . .
People A and People B both live on the same planet. Despite being of the same species (homo sapiens) People A terrorizes People B, locks them up, exterminating some and carrying out painful experiments on the rest.
Is there a problem? And how do we know?
