Quote by: Disinterested If Satan didn't exist, would God have to invent him? How else would Judeo-Christians be able to explain suffering and misery? |
God and Satan: good cop, bad cop. That's true, that's how they have been used, no matter whether or not they exist.

Quote by: Disinterested If God is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent, why would He want his creation to suffer? |
If God is omnipotent and omniscient, isn't she rather bored by now? Given that, how could she possibly remain benevolent? What is omnipotence and omniscience other than human elaborations on the concept we have developed of infinity, attributed to a being that may or may not exist despite the logical contradictions that such attribution raises?
