Quote by: linda_mary_13  I agree that evil is the privation of Good (GOD) and that reality exists on Earth, therefore evil exists on Earth. | So you are saying God is equivalent to Good? I don't think that's well to say. And what do you mean the Earth is real therefore evil exists on the earth? Is God not real then? Do you mean the earth is material therefore evil exists. If so then you would have to conclude that God did not create the earth or that God is evil. Quote: |
I would suggest that not only are our actions potentially evil but storms, natural disasters, famine are also evil.
| If you admit that there are natural evils in the world then you must conclude that God created these natural evil. If God created evil then God cannot be equivalent to Good (though this does not imply God is evil).
