The main idea was that a world with less suffering is imaginable. Following Rhythm's rules for a better universe, we could expect to see much of the suffering that exists dissipate.
Sufferings aren't needed simply because this world calls for them with its laws and could be eliminated in large part by a change to human nature and/or to necessary living conditions.
Also, I said it was bullshit that God didn't create the thing that destroys and that lack of existence isn't really "evil".
Sorry for being too lazy to retype the whole damn thing.
Thats fine, I had afew things Fr0d0 said I wanted to put under a microscope anyway.
"As I already said, the two are linked. Without suffering there cannot be love. Without death there cannot be life. Without disasters there would not be life on earth. I've presented my case. You're dismissing mine without reason."
Hi again Fr0d0, there were quite afew things that didn't add up in your argument but I won't overload you with all of them. Just a few questions if you'd be so kind. :-)
Explain the notion "Without death there cannot be life." and what evidence you have of this.
Also if God is living but is eternal doesn't that mean he doesn't die? Isn't claiming the existence of such a being that cannot and will not die a direct contradiction of this notion?
Also I'd like to establish if God in your view is capable of suffering.
"That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die."
