I didn't think the thread was political enough. Edit: By us, do you mean you and me, as in heathen scum, or, like, America? Edit edit: Holy **** you and me as in the Batlord and me. We're in cahoots. What is the world coming to? |

I've killed so many, but the Dimension Wars of 3426 caused so much chaos that we may never know.

Incorrect. For God there is no past, present, or future. Time is a characteristic of our cosmos, and our cosmos is finite. He is outside time--or, rather, time is within Him. Time is irrelevant to Him; therefore, He sees all things at all times at once.

I already put up a whole post about how an all-powerful, all-knowing god existing alongside freewill is impossible. Please address that before I post all of that **** again.

1) The contention is that free will exists, and therefore evil exists because humanity is imperfect. However, in Christianity, it is usually believed that heaven is a perfect place free of suffering and hardship. Then, does free will exist in heaven? If free will does exist in heaven, then that proves that there are ways that God could prevent suffering without infringing upon free will. Why then does he not use these tactics on earth. If free will does not exist in heaven, then it isn't heaven at all. 2) Any imperfection in hummanity is ultimately the intentional result of God's actions. Yes, the serpent made eve eat from the tree of knowledge, but God is omnipotent, so he could have totally prevented that. Therefore, by virtue of his omnipotence, evil is still the intentional, fully consenting fault of God. 3) This goes back to the first point: surely God has other means by which he can stop suffering. Why didn't God just stop the gas from flowing into the chambers? Why didn't he make it so that there was a miscount in the votes, so that Hitler wasn't ever elected? For that matter, why didn't he kill Hitler outright? He seems to have no problems with that in the rest of the bible. 4) Not all suffering is the direct result of human free will. Why does God allow natural disasters to happen? |
