@"Baden" Hi guys, is it possible to somehow turn of notifications by email?

there is, consider a god which creates a world, and god which doesn't. which one is more benevolent?

is therefore not logically possible in this context.

it's simple because you need to start from god or definition of god. god is perfect and not inferior in anything (otherwise it's inferior god and thus...

perfectly benevolent god and evil world is better than less perfect or evil god and good world. one reason why is that if there is imperfect god then ...

god which gives free will is more benevolent than god which doesn't give free will. thus god which gives free will is superior to god which doesn't. a...

you would be a slave of god. just go out ask 10 random people "would you like your free will to be taken away from you?" but we're on right track, fre...

how is lack of free will desireable? without free will we would be 100% slaves, no freedom no nothing. because otherwise it would violate our free wil...

Therefore your argument in OP should be reformulated to: 1. Free will may lead to evil 2. God gave free will 3. God let his creation (humans and angel...

for that we need statistics. People seeing negative things and ignoring positive things is nothing new.

You have a point, but isn't your reasoning based upon that "neutral" is a state which could be put into same category as good and evil? is neutral of ...

How is that an argument? Because there are more or less good or more or less bad things doesn't make bad = ~good false. ex. darkness is absence of lig...

You need to define evil first, "Evil is lack of good" If you agree with this definition, then evil isn't creatable. ex. Night isn't created, night is ...

It's easy to predict war, just look which country buys most gold. Russia for ex. was buying a lot of gold in recent years.

Thank you both, it makes sense since there is no specific formal fallacy in it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_fallacy

You have discovered nothing new because evil doesn't come because of free will. It's rather God's laws that make us recognize evil. I recently googled...

Also there is a kind of dogs who kill a rat but do not eat it. Also cats who kill a mouse but do not eat it. I had both, such a dog and a cat.

I would say, it's human intelligence which is the reason of "malignant" aggression.

thanks, interesting book. this proves atheism with the help of science is forming a new religion.
