How could you possibly suggest that atheism, a position without belief in gods, would not have an answer to the question of why god might have created evil, and a far more definitive one than any religion might produce? Thinking

Quote:My religion doesn't stop me from asking such questions at all so why not being muslim and asking such questions? If I find the truth somewhere else I wouldn't be hesitate to convert.

Because "believing islam" is not the ground state of being for people? It's an additional claim that one needs to justify themselves up to believing, not start there.

Quote:But I found the answer that satisfied me in my own religion.

Let's assume the opposite.. what if there is no evil? (Give ur self 20 minutes to think about that)

Then we will never know what is good!!

Bull: we've never known magic, but we can conceive of it. Human imagination is rife with things that didn't exist, yet were still conceived of. What makes you think that a simple opposite of a moral position is so advanced that it'd be beyond us, when quantum theory is not?

Quote:how will u know honesty if there r no lies?

By hypothetically picturing what it would be like to express a view that does not reflect reality.
