If God is willing to prevent evil but is not able to, then he is not all-powerful. If he is able to prevent evil but is not willing to, then he is not all-good. If he is both willing and able to prevent evil, then why is there evil and suffering in the world?
They can’t solve that paradox.
However, the Bible can. Very simply, the Bible clearly states that their god created evil.
Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
Well god is angry we’re defiling the tombs of the dinosaurs and algae that had been at rest for millions of years, and treating them with such disrespect.
Didn’t God make people gay then so it’s ok? Doesn’t God want genocide and wars everywhere? God surely wants flint Michigan residents to drink leaded water. God dotes on leukemia and acne as his creations too, doubtless.
God is omnipotent yet allows incredible cruelty, and avarice to rule the world? I guess if you’re a bible believer the end must be coming for a good purge is needed, no? Instead, somehow the end is not near?
You jest, but a large swath of right-wing evangelicals are actively trying to bring about the end times. My pet theory is that they are terrified of dying. So, if they bring about the end times, then Jesus will come back and rapture them. That way they get into heaven without having to die a nasty death first.
Anyone who believes that a magical, space version of Chip Gaines is going to miraculously appear and whisk them away to anywhere other than Waco, TX, needs to be ridiculed and institutionalized in a psych ward.
