i think The reason there’s evil in the world is not because of God, but because God gave us the freedom to choose. Now the potential for love outweighs the existence of evil, because you see, evil is only going to exist for a short time, but love is going to go on forever. And all of the suffering and all of the death that we see in the world today are the result because man has chosen to make wrong choices.
so what is you clarification on that question ?
I challenge this statement, and propose a healthy debate, in order to keep the thread abundant, lively, and to make the stakes somewhat interesting. Nothing derogatory, so lets keep it kosher!
My opinion...
What is freewill? Could freewill exist if there was no evil? Evil is a choice, and it is the opposite of good.
Evil is necessary, just as good is. Love is no different from hate, but two extremes, one directly opposite of the other. Love will never conquer over hate. Good will never triumph over evil. One simply could not exist without the other. If love were to conquer evil, there would be a serious imbalance within the natural order of reality.
My question for you, OP...
Define God! Do you mean a bearded man in the sky, who grants magical wishes to the blindly faithful?
Do you mean an omnipresent, omnipotence that is beyond our space and time? Or perhaps you're refering to a creator deity, who supposedly fashioned our life out of it's (male/female/etc) own image?
To retort
I don't mean to pick away at your statement, but your comment is made using broad generalizations, that are hard to pinpoint, in order to accurately give a correct reply, for arguments sake.
