You've all told me what you think about god and evil, and it's not that I'm not listening, I just think you're wrong. If we start from the premise that god created the universe, then god created everything in it, including evil. I am asking why? The rest of you want to scapegoat god out that conundrum, and I simply don't buy it. I accept that you need your position otherwise the whole god-concept thing doesn't make any sense at all, because why would a god who you think loves you create things like cancer and deformed babies? it's nothing to do with a gotcha game, you just need to put that tag on me to give yourself an out from my solid questions. You know, you could always say you don't know, because seriously, you don't know, and that's ok, because neither do I, that's why I'm asking for opinions.Much more accurately, I ignore the nonsense. You have to decide why you are here, and why you wish to interact with people of faith. Some atheists choose interaction because they truly want to know how believers think. Others just want to set up a game of Gotcha! In my opinion, you fall into the second category.Well, you avoid everything I say. It’s the right conclusion.
ç. You have thrown tantrum after tantrum insisting God (in whom you have no belief) created evil. You demand to know why.
We have all presented you with very clear pictures of what we believe about God, and what we believe about evil. You say we can't look at God that way, that we can't perceive evil the way we do, either. You demand that we see God your way, and evil your way. For what purpose? Your end game is "Gotcha."
I have told you before, I concede all Gotcha!(s) to you because the rule of the game is that the person who does not show up, forfeits, and the win goes to the other side. I don't show up for Gotcha! games. I avoid them, I forfeit them, and you win. And.I.could.not.care.less.
Should you ever truly care what people of faith see and why they believe as they do, tune in. Otherwise, bask in your own beliefs without the insistence that people of faith join you in whatever it is you feel you are basking in. Be more articulate and a great deal more upfront about what you believe.
