Why is he not benevolent if he chooses not to stop all
suffering? How did you arrive at that? There's a difference
between "can't" and "won't." There's a leap of logic there
that needs explaining.
A being that would allow the level and amount of suffering that
is going on in the world at any given time while being able to do
something about it is not benevolent. That's what I would call a
"monster" or a "sadist."
Better read up on free will and original sin.
They're nonsense.


Free will is nonsense? You don't have free will?

The concept of "original sin" is nonsense. "Free Will" is a silly
way of describing every day life.



Do you know what original sin is?

Yes, Rich. I spent my first 18 years going to church. I still think it's a
ridiculous concept. Why should I have to pay for something that an ancestor
did thousands of years ago? It's the same concept as reparations, and it's
stupid.

DO you have the ability to chose between right and wrong?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
