Your personal take on “The Problem of Evil?”
#10
RE: Your personal take on “The Problem of Evil?”
The problem of evil is elementary. I came upon it naturally when I was in grade school. Why does god kill people with hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis? What about all the people deep in the jungles of the Amazon who will never even catch the scent of Jeebus? They go to hell?

To me this doesn't speak to a morally corrupt god, it points to a made up story with some pretty glaring holes in it. Like some bronze age goat herders may have not thought everything through with their oral traditions.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
