How Does God Exist If There Is So Much Evil & Suffering?🎭
The Evil Within This World
Some individuals look at evil and use it as their main argument against the existence of God. It feels like some can never deny that suffering exists, but they'll deny that "gratuitous suffering" exists.
They look towards natural disasters, infant mortality, simply needing to eat itself is an unbelievable burden and we suffer from this burden our entire lives, the same may be said for needing water or sleep. We have a tendency to sink into this constant pain only for our survival, and a few might argue how God can exist if this misfortune follows us.
An argument some propagate is that If they were within the position of God, they might do away with unnecessary pain, world hunger, etc. If God does exist, he's already in this position, yet has done nothing. I'm more ethical than this God and that I do not consider myself the kindest person I know.
The fall during this argument for me is that we have been given free will and also the ability to form decisions in life. I do not assume our lives are dictated. It's more of a test in my eyes.
Existence Of God Still Possible
- To emerge into existence, God should generate his potential because he's fully self-contained.
- This potential is absolved to be out of sync with God's morality
- God ultimately preserves solely that which is in line with his morality, so suffering never existed.
Omniscience is good with this view; it simply requires that we consider time in a certain way, e.g., whereas we see reality regarding locally inventive moments, God sees one total act of creation. Therefore there is not any minute within which God was genuinely ignorant. As it were, from God's viewpoint, he apprehended what the expression of his will should resemble the minute he brought the universe into being.
God should produce his potential self. Before considering a given style, God cannot grasp whether or not it meets his morality. Consequently, God retroactively self-configures keeping in mind the end goal is to maximise self-utility. At the end of the day, suffering and evil are retroactively aloof from reality.
God is self-determinative (self-defining), and in light of the fact that we are a section of God, we've got the potential for free will. God should opt for the choice to self-configure such evil and suffering go in the equation temporarily.
As such, God cannot take away evil suffering while not first recognising what he is ruling out. Therefore, he should consider evil and suffering (ergo they must in short exist), since he cannot rule out what he hasn't yet outlined.
Very thought provoking. I believe that evil exists to help us appreciate and understand the good and better. Because sometimes is everything is handed to us, we don't appreciate it. Great post and thoughts! Looking forward to more of your post upvoted and followed! If you get the chance please check my blog out I think you will enjoy it!
Wow!!! Interesting post. I love every bit of what I'm seeing here @arckrai.
I am astonished by the thinking of the wicked now
they prefer to fight gods and like to submit to demons

Do we dare judge God?
This is truly food for thought. I had a roomate once who was and still is an atheist. I read his facebook post this morning and I thought to myself how can he be so ignorant. Even the gratest scientic minds in history and in our generation have acknowledged the existence of God. Everything in existence points to him because the equations don't balance without him.
