The problem of evil revisited.

RE: The problem of evil revisited.
(September 22, 2014 at 4:47 pm)rasetsu Wrote: You've essentially defined causing suffering as a kind of moral good, which leads to the awkward result that the bully and the sociopath are actually doing good deeds, and, that thereby, they are considered to have good character and to merit eternal reward.

Why is that an awkward result? It allows him to claim that due to this everyone qualifies for eternal reward. And that was his omnibenevolent god's plan all along - to make the rules such that everyone gets to have the eternal bliss.
