(June 27, 2015 at 10:39 pm)Stimbo Wrote: I understand that you believe it. We're not actually discussing your beliefs but what you are postulating as fact. If we can't assume that suffering is necessarily bad, then we can't assume it's necessarily good either. Since we cannot know either way, why would you make the assumption that it might be good?

Because I, and most likely you, have encountered many instances where it has resulted in good that otherwise wouldn't have been achieved.  And you're right, I believe what the bible says about God.  I believe that God can cause suffering that is good and I that people can cause suffering that is not good.  Here on earth we do suffer the consequences of immoral behavior by ourselves and others, but all suffering isn't for that reason.  If we're relying on scientific experimentation, I imagine we would find that some suffering is good and some not.  Right?
