“The Problem of Evil” in atheism and in Islam
#44
RE: “The Problem of Evil” in atheism and in Islam
No need to read past "the venue of atheism" in the OP.

The word "atheist" is a position, not a moral code, not a club, not a political party, not a religion, and certainly not a "venue". All "atheist" means is "off" on god claims, nothing more.

And to use the words " In my efforts to escape exhaustive details" in the OP to follow it up with that giant wall of text is a joke. You put "exhaustive superfluous apology" yes, but those "details" were hardly facts.

FYI, Christians also make the argument that this is all a "test" . I find that pretty cruel when their, or your sky hero sit with folded hands while your loved ones die, especially kids in disease crime and war. I have yet to get a good explanation from a believer as to why it is good to "test" a child through torture or death and to have the parents suffer as well as the kid dying.

A test is what you take in high school. A test is what you take in sports to get a position on the team. A test is what you take to get a job. I hardly find human suffering a "test". An unfortunate part of nature yes, but hardly something moral if you are claiming there is a magic security guard who can stop it but does not.

You have not argued anything I have not heard from Christians or Jews. You are simply quoting a different book to make excuses for having an invisible friend.
