As a human being yourself, and a Christian, how do you live with this?
Children of Satan may have a problem with God, but I do not even if I burn forever.

Because he would know evil was about to happen, have the power to stop it, and want to stop it...and yet, he doesn't.
The only way out of this contradiction is to deny his existence.
It would not be male or female, it would be something not matter but something we at present have no idea what it could be if in fact it is at all, which I doubt, but it is a noticably large universe so anything is possible, some thiings more possible than others.

So if free will is allowed God is immoral.
But hey, do you get to define what is evil? You keep throwing around these undefined terms as if you have the definition.
Prevention of evil acts does not deprive the would-be actor of free will.
As for "evil", let's start with the standard definition and work from there.

A bit arrogant of you to suppose you can tell me where to look for the definition of evil.

And let me know when God starts posting on this forum; until then, we'll just have to make do with our own definitions.

If you reject the God is automatically good and evil is in oposition to what God calls good, then we will never agree upon the terms.

If you want to call Redlands California backwater and inbred that is up to you.

So, when it comes to this forum, you're just a troll.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Btw, a nice way of ensuring the dominance of your circular reasoning. If a person disagrees that person is a troll. How quaint.
Originally posted by @eladarBut didn't you yourself say, a couple of pages ago, "I am not the one who claims I am correct." ? So who is claiming you are are correct, if not you?
If a person disagrees with my basic definition of good vs evil then that person is not a Christian.

This is the difference. No one can force another to accept the other person's definitions. He claimed that I must conform to the definition he believes or be a troll.
He believes others must conform to definitions of terms based on his worldview.
I do not demand that others conform to mine. Any such demand will be made by God and any consequence of rejecting it will be dealt with by God.
