Dodging theodicy: 'On Faith' panel stumbles over Haiti and God

[Purple Rabbit]

What about taking no steps to stop something happening? Inaction could cause a lot of suffering. But then this isn't the issue here. We're really taking out of context what the biblical stories are saying and imposing ridiculous accusations of cruelty where none exist, apart from in your imaginations.

But since you mention it the above argument would of course make god, as the omnipotent yet inactive bystander of kid cancer ruining young lives, evil to the core. This again shows the christian god concept is morally abject.

Furthermore you answered that absence of good is the first cause of evil. That is a total bullshit answer. It means something can come from nothing and would cripple the first cause argument in the first place. Please get some coherence in your answers.
