Argument for atheism from necessary evil
#1
Argument for atheism from necessary evil
1 if god exists he is all loving, all powerful, all knowing, and is good
2 if god exists he has 'given' us free will to freely choose to perform morally good or evil acts
3 if god exists he is the creator and sustainer of all life
4 if god exists those who commit morally evil acts will be tortured forever in hell
5 psychopaths exist and there nature is determined by a strong genetic component (they are created that way) and do morally evil acts because of their nature (they are compelled and cannot choose to stop their actions)
6 therefore, god created creatures who cannot choose by free will to perform morally good acts on all occasions. They are necessarily evil
7 therefore god with foreknowledge has created creatures that are doomed to be tortured forever and this is not the act of an all loving being, but the act of a capricious and uncaring being
8 therefore god does not exist
