Argument of God vs Evil

May 20, 2013 2 Comments

What displeases me about arguing with creationists is that in order to challenge the existence of an imaginary being (i.e. God), we must first assume the existence of another imaginary being/force (i.e. Evil) and from there start arguing backwards. Of course, just as concept of God is flawed, the concept of there being an Evil is also equally flawed because we again end up dividing good happenings and bad happenings as effects of a supernatural phenomenon, rather than using the most simple and logical explanation: That human beings behave differently and some of us do good while others do bad. Natural things happen according to the laws of nature and these laws do not presuppose the existance of a special species such as Humans. However, to creationists, the idea of assuming more and more imaginary entities is nothing of concern. Once you say Yes to religion, you can go on believing anything that you like. Even that Elvis is still alive.

I like the way you put it. It seems that God and Evil existed before any creation, thus God is not the creator or everything because the devil existed. And if God created the devil, why the hell would he do so from the first place?

  Actually, you know the point was that neither of those exists. Both are the creations of scared and uninformed minds.
