Or he could have just made a world without those things.

"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?"

-Epicarus

So what does this mean to you? It absolutely makes sense to me seeing as how "He" is the all knowing creator but allows unjust actions to happen to men, women, and children.

The religitards can't provide an argument that can defeat this so they try to ignore it and laugh it off. They will ignore anything that contradicts what they already believe. ANYTHING

Assuming he does, not implying anything.

So he made a perfect world and then decided to make a shitty world too that he forced us to live and suffer in before having a chance of going to the perfect one. Sounds like a great guy.

This world is to test us; the people he created and knows everything about.

From an alternative point of view, He gives us perfection to aspire to. You're the one judging God, not me.

They always have and always will assume that their beliefs are true and that they understand it perfectly all because of an ancient book. They can never start from neutral ground, they have to assume everything they want to believe and then claw with fallacious logic and irrationality to further confirm their beliefs. I think it's laughable that they think such idiocy should even be considered as a serious candidate for truth.
