Topic	If god is real, why do bad things happen?
RustyFerret 03/25/20 9:08:33 PM #75:	Wewillrocku posted... you got that right rustyferret. Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? An objection to this would be the presence of evil having a purpose or leading to a positive change. The presence of suffering in the world has actually driven mankind to improve themselves in a lot of ways. This is moot though if you're a subjectivist because then concepts like good and evil are just opinions anyway. <cite>RustyFerret posted [p:936230795] in If god is ...
