Sorry Festus. Everytime I pin you down with questions you can't (or won't) answer, you run away to other questions. I'm not here for an interrogation. Answer my questions or your questions get dumped.
the reason there is still evil is because god is being "just" about his clean up efforts,
Wait so if god existed they wouldn't be a creature? That's funny:
Furthermore, this is an ethical dilema, for the sake of conversation a god exists and that god has the power to stop all evil, you have made a claim: that the reason there is still evil is because god is being "just" about his clean up efforts, that is a claim.
Justify it.
This is again only bald assertion, but there is consequence to God, that is why He is ridding the universe of evil in a JUST way, and not as a despot
Didn't make the claim huh?
Um... I just rephrased what you said, simply for the formatting, you see your "interpretation" was a dependent clause after a indepedent clause, in order for it to work grammatically I had to make the dependent clause an independent clause, but...
how is "doing it in a just way" a consequence?
No, god has all power according to your holy book, he could literally just not make evil...
or make evil so small it wouldn't matter,
heck that god could do a million things with literally no effort if it existed. The thing is, if it did exist, it has done none of those things.
you've literally refused to answer
The way you suggest would be unjust. THAT would have the consequence of making God unjust.
God did not make evil. Evil is like "cold" or "shadow", they are not made, but are a function of what was made, respectively, heat and light.
You could have been a better God eh? Where have we heard that one before?
I mean, if I had the powers of god? Sure. But to be fair I don't think thats a very high bar - I mean.... I'm pretty sure anybody could be a better god than what god allegdedly is.
Um...no... I suggested that god save people, using a comparison of a child about to be run over, you have refused to engage this.
Coercing everyone on the planet with threats of eternal hellfire is the only moral solution.
Perhaps my neighbors should start following my special-book-of-rules because if they don't, I will burn down their homes while they're sleeping.
This is the only moral solution.
You seem to be suggesting that evil is an UNINTENDED, UNAVOIDABLE consequence of good.
Too bad your OMNISCIENT OMNIPOTENT CREATOR couldn't predict "shadows".
I told you that you were not God's child.
You seem to be suggesting that evil is an UNINTENDED, UNAVOIDABLE consequence of good.No, I suggested that evil was not "created" like your logic challenged pal said.
Your only other option....
I thought Jesus loved everyone?
IF he made humans with inherent value, THEN he is necessarily obligated to protect them.
I needed no options. He said God made evil. God did not make evil. I told him so.
Again, I could care less what you believe god is ethically obligated to do, I am talking of what god is necessarily obligated to do if he were to be a moral being.
he made humans with inherent value, THEN he is neccessarily obligated to protect them.
Furthermore, IF god is responsible for human's lowering threshold of understanding, THEN the bad decisions made by humans are his fault.
For example: If you were to code a robot to walk in a straight line and it walked right would that be its fault or your fault? Your fault clearly - you were to the one to program it.
I've noticed you've made several claims yet you decline to either, A) engage the so-called "stupid" analogy, or B) provide any sort of evidence or demonstration for your claims.
Actually.. if god created everything then god neccesarily made evil, that's how that works.
If there is no mind to comprehend it then there is no good nor evil,
as god created everything which is material and not him, according to your world-view, then he would need have created evil...
or do you not comprehend basic cause and effect, ah, no my bad you believe in god.
