1."it is not god's fault, it is humans who create evil"
2."but what would the purpose be of having such a perfect life?"
3."If God were to "fix" all the "evil" things going on in our world today, we wouldn't learn anything."
4."God is definitely able and will in HIS time, when HE deems the time to be right. "
So let's take them in order.
1. What happened to the argument of "God created EVERYTHING?" If he did not create evil, then humans created it, which means we are capable of creating something that god cannot? Which means he is not omnipotent and we ALL know where THAT sort of reasoning will lead us to.
2. Is that not EXACTLY what god is trying to do? Get us to follow a set of rules so that we can "attain" a perfect life?
3. If the argument is that we have to learn and only those that learn will be rewarded, then life is nothing more than an experiment and god is the scientist.
4. If he is able to but not willing to RIGHT now, he is cruel and has quite a bit less love for all his followers than they think.
So qatman, which one of those do YOU believe is correct?
