Atheism, Gnosticism & the Problem of Evil
#36
RE: Atheism, Gnosticism & the Problem of Evil
Quote:No, but there are problems created by men and problems outside our control.
Nope if problems exist god is the cause regardless of anything man does

Quote:No, but humans (and other cognitively advanced animals) are capable of acting in unnatural ways.
Nothing humans do is unatural 


Quote:By unnatural, I mean contrary to what is naturally advantageous.

That's a nonsensical definition 



Quote:There are things that are completely impossible in nature, like a four sided triangle, and then there are things that are impossible in the long run because they are conflict with the laws of nature; because they are against the Will of God.
This doesn't make sense 

 
Quote:This includes everything from the elements that really occur naturally and decay quickly, to behaviors or actions. 
Decay is natural and behaviors are all-natural 


Quote:Humans that act in ways contrary to what is naturally advantageous,

Again this is a dumb definition of natural and 


Quote: that engage in pathological behavior, can be said to be acting unnaturally,
Nope totally natural and not uncommon either 


Quote: and we are by no means the only species to engage in pathological behavior.
Yup that is natural 


Quote:This is evil.
No
