        An all powerful being could easily destroy evil without destroying humans. It could have never have created evil to begin with. You’re the one saying it’s all powerful. You’re contradicting yourself. Is it all powerful or would it have to destroy humans to destroy evil? You cannot have both

            Not sure what you mean.

            I get it man. When you’re at church you can all just say whatever you want and everyone nods their heads. But if you want to come out into the real world and push your harmful rhetoric on others you need to be prepared to answer questions. So just saying things that don’t make any sense and expecting people to go along with it won’t work like it does in your echo chamber. You need to actually explain yourself.

                Oh that’s fun. Read through it and it’s a long winded regurgitating of what you already tried to pull off without success. It avoids actually answering the question of why your god isn’t powerful enough to eradicate evil while preserving humans and free will. Then still claims your god is all powerful. Can’t have both no matter how many Bible verses you quote or paragraphs you write while not answering the question.

                The great part of this article is that it gets even more morally bankrupt than you have been. After lots of exposition about how it’s ok that evil exists cuz reasons and God is mysterious etc, it goes on to say:

                1. The ends justify the means. It’s ok that a good and all powerful god sits back with some popcorn and allows all this suffering to happen because some day when he gets around to it, he will rapture everyone who believes and continue to torture everyone who doesn’t. Catholicism is truly evil for being ok with this and has no place in a moral society.

                2. The old, just trust bro. This is the one that is always the actual answer. It’s always at the end because of how flimsy it is but it’s always there because it’s really obvious that god does not exist. Plugging your ears and saying I don’t care really loud over and over is the only way to keep believing. “Yeah we know it’s completely idiotic to believe this stuff but believing things that make no sense is actually a virtue! We call it faith instead of being gullible because that sounds better.”
