Your personal take on “The Problem of Evil?”

[rexbeccarox]

From my perspective yes, evil is a problem, even if I were to accept premise 3 evil would still be present. Perhaps I could have done a better job connecting David’s argument from nonbelief with the problem of evil but my the question I am driving at is how it affects you.

How do you deal with evil or the thought of injustice when it arises?

What do you mean by "evil"?

How do you feel towards Christians who say “God is Love?”

I just... don't have the same working definition of "love" I guess. There's nothing to feel; nothing to judge there.

Probably, most importantly (what I’m trying to get at), was there an occasion in your life when you saw (heard, read) something you felt was immoral, and concluded from it “there is no God?”

"There probably is no god" came long before I started to understand the implications "evil" possessed. My lack of belief came from reasoning that it is impossible for the Bible (I read it all the way through for the first time when I was six, then again when I was 11, 16, 23, and 27) to be anything but a collection of stories. A few years later, the realization that atrocities occur, despite assertions of a creator watching over us, just made me more curious- and sometimes more horrified- about religion in general, and, more specifically, Christianity.
