The problem with that is the assumption that because God allows evil he himself is. The Incredibles is a great movie describing a similar issue. If everyone is a superhero, then nobody is. In turn, if everyone always did good, then your actions would be relatively neutral. God therefore allows evil to give good its proper context. What is faith without temptation? nothing. And yes, apart from the occasional cold I do sleep quite well at night. Better than the occasional nag in my subconscious, "but what if I'm wrong? Does that mean I'm going to burn in hell for eternity?" I don't know how anyone can live with that. Perhaps then you don't understand where we're coming from. Most atheists do not have a fear of hell that keeps them awake because they consider it no more scary than stories of the bogeyman under the bed. You don't fear what you understand is not real. And according to the theory of infinite universes there would be some in which there is hell and some in which there is not, a 50/50 chance to burn for all you quantum physicists out there. You clearly have a very severe misunderstanding of the multiverse theory. |
