Since, you don't believe there is no God. I don’t need to answer the question whether or not God created evil. You make that answer very clear in your following quote...


You just proved my point. I'm done here. Good luck! I mean so long...
Maybe you don't get it. The existance of superfluous evil is one of my ways of challenging YOUR beliefs. Starting with the hypothesis that if there WAS a god. Who knows, if you could convince me that there was a reason for newborn still-births, of gross deformities, or any of the other seemingly senceless sufferings of humankind, you might swing my favor to the theistic standpoint. But I know the reality of the situation. You can't explain it, you can't justify the existance of so much suffering in the world, so you're going to bail out. Typical theist. I was expecting the cop out "god works in mysterious ways", but quitting is just as notable.


"I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other gods you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen F. Roberts
