Can evil beget good?  | | I remember my philosophy of religion professor once said, 'If you claim God is Good, how could you explain the violence and the suffering in this world?. Where was God when millions of Jews were slaughtered like beasts and subjected to sub-human conditions? Where was God when millions died and continue to die from Aids in Africa? How can a loving and good God allow bad things to happen to us?" To that question, I raised my hand and replied, "But if God is the most evil force in the universe, why is there good in this world? Why do we experience love, charity, kindness and other virtues emanating from others? Can evil beget good?" My professer then told me, "ah ok, that's a good question, I'll get back to you as soon as I have the answer." He never got back to me, and that was years ago.

| | | 3. dalip32 (64) | 2 months ago | At one point in Job's suffering, he starts to question why God is letting all this bad stuff happen to him. God's answer is roughly, "Where were you when I created the earth? Where were you when I made the mountains and rivers?" What He was telling Job is He will do what he wants to when He wants to, and we really aren't in a position to question Him. The book of Hebrews say faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. If my faith in God is unwavering, I'll trust that He has a plan and can work in spite of the evil that occurs on earth - He doesn't necessarily cause it. When I look at the holocaust or the AIDS epidemic or the genocide taking place in Africa, I don't wonder why God allows it, I wonder why we don't do something about it. As a world, we have more than enough food, more than enough medicine, and more than enough water to take care of everyone. We need to do more to provide rather than critisize God for not doing it.

baruchaba (593) | 2 months ago | I couldn't agree with you more dalip32. It is not for us to question the wisdom of God with the things that are happening to our world. Instead of falling into a cycle of negativism in our lives, we should learn to rise above our doubts and inadequacies and do something about the seeming hopelessness and darkness around us.

| | 5. kangallo (1386) | 1 month ago | First of all, there should not be any doubt that God is evil. Love is imaginary and does not exist. Charity is undertaken as a show-off, to show that we are good and most religious people do it for the sake of converting others to their religion. They also do it because they think that they will go to heaven if they are charitable. Therefore, the so-called charity is selfish. All the so-called virtues are false and appear good at the surface, but if you analyse them deeply, you will see that they are evil and selfish. But God sends earthquakes, hurricanes atcc.. THis is an 100% evil act on the part of God. If he was almighty, he could have avoided sending those, but he does not and that proves he is evil. Handi-capped children are born and God is doing nothing about it. And people are worshipping such an evil God, which shows people are also evil. There is nothing good in this world. What appears to be good is a farce and you never know when the good will become bad. As for the bad, they remain bad. Millions of jews were slaughtered, in what way was that good? Then there are people who say that God has a plan and purpose for everything. This is just defending their God. Ask them "What exactly is that plan and purpose?" and they will say "That we cannot say. We cannot comprehend the nature and actions of God." But if you cannot comprehend the actions of God, how can you say that God has a plan and purpose? We have to learn to observe. A war is bad, an earthquake is bad, without doubt. Does this have a plan and purpose behind it? NO. You can see the results of millions of people suffering because of these things. I say God is evil. Nothing is good in this world.
