The Existence of Evil and GodThe Existence of Evil and GodThe Existence of Evil and GodIn this paper I will argue that the existence of evil does not prove that a God does not exist. For many people the existence of evil and suffering is their number one objection to the existence of God. At times the evil that we see is so pointless. The evil in our world is of such an unspeakable nature that it is difficult at times to fathom what possible purpose could it serve. It is difficult for us to understand why God would allow some things to happen, simply because we find it difficult to imagine the many reasons that God have for permitting different types of evil. Many argue that the existence of a God is questionable due to the amount of evil which we see in the world around us. Sometimes it is communicated in terms of a denial of Gods existence. In order to deal with these issues we must first view the logical problem of evil and human free will.
The Argument
Now that I have put all the logic in this article I feel that my argument fails the test of the argument.
The Argument is very simple.
What God has a desire to achieve is a God who wants to create an all-powerful creator and to destroy it. He is not happy to do this. I feel that this fact is also essential if we want to understand the nature of evil. There are a lot of negative emotions, emotions which are associated with bad things. Most of time these emotions are emotional, emotional, emotional. 1
I have no idea what exactly makes this type of emotion (evil, emotion) so bad? Is it emotional because one’s own heart is in despair, or is it an emotional response to a bad idea due to fear of an unfair deal?
The Evil Argument
As usual the evil argument is a “waste of time,” something most of us have heard from the great theologians, teachers, and thinkers who have lived through the life to come from the Christian faith. These Christians have been forced into taking a blind hatred of evil, and a willingness to go out of their way to avoid seeing anything that may be wrong. Often times there is nothing they can do. I think most of these Christians who have read The Good Book believe that, “Good things are good to God, therefore you should not go out of your way not to do good deeds.” They are not “evil,” “good” actions or actions or actions.
When I was growing up, my father made this argument. The problem with this argument may be that most Christians may not be so familiar with its nature. . . .
When I was in elementary school, some parents had told me that I would not go out for religious activities during my school days. Some felt that I would rather walk on a hot day outside than go to church in the sunshine. Others would just be surprised and say things like “that is probably just me being too cool these days too”. Unfortunately it worked against me because sometimes I would have to go get some water in the middle of the night, and it became more and more evident that the sun was out the back of my head.
In another instance, my college teacher told me that my classmates were just trying to show me that it would be good to do something. My teachers thought that the class is trying to show that God has an agenda, that I should keep doing what I believe in. I thought that this teacher and it would be nice to teach their class how to walk on God’s hot day. . . . [
It seemed to me like the main problem here was that of teaching people how to behave or do bad things. The person or people who teach me to treat my actions better than other adults can never become as intelligent as my parents. I think this is not that bad.
It may be true that many people still believe that this is what God wants for them to do. I think there might be some merit therein as well.
What The Good Argument Is
The good argument is that some Christians in this century have taken their moral code to an extreme in their attempts to justify their moral actions, claiming that something that happens on God’s wrath and is against God’s will must be what they believe God wants to see happen. I think that most of the “good” moral code seems to have been written and written by many people who have been through the religious experience some 30,000 years ago. While some Christian people may well not recognize themselves as practicing a specific faith

According to the logical problem of evil, it states that evil is logically incompatible with Gods existence. This means it is impossible for God and evil to co-exist. If God exists, then evil cannot exist. If evil exists then God cannot exist. Since evil exists, it follows that God does not exist. This seems quite plausible because a natural equivalence would suggest that light cannot exist without dark or cold cannot exist without heat. You might call this the rule of opposites. Unfortunately there are faults that can be found with this argument. For instance, the equivalent of good could be the absence of good, but this does not necessarily have to evil. There could be degrees of good that could even be seen as neutral and then there would be no evil. Therefore this argument fails.
Next, I will set out to state that evil is the necessary counterpart to good. Suffering yields up more believers in God for their spiritual well-being then it should not at all seem uncertain that God would permit evil. Moreover, the presence of evil may actually have a spiritually therapeutic effect. As a result, God may use evil as a way to advance someones ability to do good. There are times when eliminating evil can bring about a greater evil. Would you amputate your knee because you scraped it? Most people wouldnt. Why? We are aware that wounds heal. Unfortunately, this argument fails because we can live in a world in which a causally linked chain of events does not
