Problem of evil
December 20, 2013 at 4:05 pm
The arguments I begin to hear all the time from agnostics is that god is too great to give a shit about our suffering. How does that work out?

That or perspective. We don't really give a shit about a bacterium's perspective of evil. Same kinda thing.

Doesn't work because god is omnipresent, he created us(we didn't create bacteria). He is omniscient. He could design world other way.

You're stupid. Big Grin

I don't know, I'm not really arguing this shit; however, I fail to understand your objection. People create shit in the lab, or saturate monkeys with perfume; all for a "purpose" beyond the scope of the experimentee.

So god is experimenting on us? He doesn't need to if he is omniscient and we are not(people do shit in lab to find more about the world). And we are not omnipotent either so we can't control all the suffering.

Our choice would be limited to choosing God. By creating the option to choose the opposite, in a way I think God created evil.Thinking
