The Soapbox

So old, that it has been even on Futurama (the episode in which a giant garbage ball from space threatens to burry New New York, when Fry makes a joke about aiming Prof. Farnsworth's smelloscope at Uranus) :) "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." (DNA)

You are OK with Christian God or Muslim Allah existing, since you have never accused them of being benevolent? The argument is more than simple, as you said,it is simplistic. fat_boy wrote: ANd by the way to finally answer your facile question, whch I had been hoping to avoid: "good and evil are not mutually exclusive". So, the existence of freewill,and the capability to use it, which produces evil,means there can not be a benevolent god,even though it doesn't preclude good from existing?
