Question

Claim: God is evil or impotent. Proof: assume that god is neither evil nor impotent. so god is omnibenevolent and omnipotent. fact: infants die horrible deaths in natural disasters (like japan earthquake). fact, infants die and are not spared. assuming god can hear them, then god is evil to ignore their cries. or he is not omnipotent

dude, stop asserting an opinion. everything occurs for a reason. think about it. why were we building atomic plants in the first place?
(written by an agnostic himself)

Answer 2

huh?

Answer 3

its a logical argument

Answer 4

NOT an opinion

Answer 5

if you saw a house on fire, and heard a baby crying, it would be evil to walk by and ignore the helpless baby. true or false?

Answer 6

counterfact: humans built a freakin nuclear plant in japan
counterfact: humans are causing deforestation.
conclusion: we are making our own problems.

Answer 7

that is an opinion too, no way to avoid it

Answer 8

this has nothing to do with nuclear plants

Answer 9

Claim: God is evil or impotent. Proof: Assume the contrary, ie God is neither evil nor impotent. Fact: God allows infants to suffer and die in natural disasters who cannot sin or be tested. Fact: A loving god would not allow an infant to suffer and die. Contradiction! Conclusion, we must reject the assumption that god is neither evil nor impotent in which case god is either impotent or evil.

Answer 10

darn it, tell me, does god manipulate the laws of physics at his own will?

Answer 11

god hears babies screaming in houses on fire. and in natural disasters, they get squashed like watermelons in earthquakes for example

Answer 13

god hears the crying, he should not ignore it. he is omnipotent , correct?

Answer 26
