So how is a said, non-existent being, God, supposed to be the greatest source of evil?

Darev. Do you know the difference between

(a) creating rules against already existing bad things.

and

(b) willfully creating bad things, and then later making rules against them.

Human rulemakers represent (a). God represents (b). They are different.

There, now stop with your flawed analogies.

1. In response to your comment, you’re going backwards here, since I’ve already supposed that god is evil, just for argument sake of course.

2. But my contention to that is, the fact of creating something evil doesn’t mean that you yourself are evil.

3. For example, are saying that the people that created the A-bomb are evil? Is the guy that created the gun evil? What if creating that evil thing you saw it was in fact evil and decided that it shouldn’t be used for evil?

4. By the way, what is your definition of evil? Oh, and do you believe in God? Short answers, without your particular brand of BS will do please.

 

First of all, I never said that God was evil, or that if you create something evil, that makes you evil. I just pointed out your flawed analogies.

1. Okay the. Don't see why it matters though.

2. I can see that

3. Objects aren't evil (not sure what an "A bomb"is), as they can be used for evil or good purposes.

4. You know I don't believe in God. I would say evil describes an action that causes unnecessarily extreme suffering and pain. Or it describes a person who chooses to cause unnecessarily extreme suffering and pain. God causes unnecessarily extreme suffering and pain (babies born with aids and other diseases, natural disasters killing innocents, not giving everyone a fair opportunity to heaven, etc.). Therefore, God is evil.
