Your personal take on “The Problem of Evil?”

[Chad32]

I've never thought much about the problem with evil. I guess my personal take is that if tries repeatedly to do something the way he wants, and repeatedly fails at it, then he's not very competent. You make a couple of people, and they mess up once and you throw them out. The world goes to crap, with little to no mention of efforts to mitigate it, so instead of really fixing the problem, he just wipes the slate almost clean. Then things go to crap again, so he sends one guy to an uneducated part of the world to save everyone. Thousands of years later, only 2.5 out of 7 billion people in the world actually believe in your son, some percentage of the rest of the population still attempt to worship you while ignoring your son.

Despite claiming that you want all your children to get into heaven, only a small fraction, a quarter or less, will actually get in. You have failed. Of course many will say it's the kid's fault. Not the parent. Except that the larger the group that you're in charge of, the more telling it is if the majority of them turn out bad. Someone had one kid, and he goes bad? Possibly blame the kid. Someone has twenty kids, and nineteen of them go bad? You blame the parent.
