"imo i would say [god is] not evil but just indifferent.
apathy allows it.
It okay defender. Actually, I would wager my thinking is more expanded than yours...perhaps.
I originally had thoughts on the word you choose...evil, but I was at work and didn't have time to put my thoughts together.
My feeling is if god's ultimate reward/destination for man is no suffering...then allowing suffering is cruel and without love. I'm talking Job and disaster/plague cruel type suffering.
The natural feeling for a loving, feeling person is to protect and care for one another. You may feel god does that. Others may disagree.
In the end it really doesn't matter. If your faith serves you well, than good. It doesn't mean what you have faith in is true. I've been there, and I have the tee shirt. But it doesn't make it true and real.
Yep. WRiting committee.
don't know quite what to say.
just stunned at the news.

BackseatDevil, I agree with everything you said. That, stated better than I, is my speculation. We probably will never know the "why" from him. But I understand "how" this could very well be true. Well said.

Why is it evil? Maybe we are just unimportant in the grand scheme of things..
You asked the question, I answered with my opinion.
There is no way you can prove it is or isn't evil. You only have an opinion whether it is or isn't.

Good thing he died this side of Armageddon

Oh wow, another comic in the paradise! He'll be loads of laughs when he get's to know Moses!

He's not apathetic or indifferent. He makes it very clear, if you were born Canaanite, or take his name in vain, or covet your neighbor's wife, or touch to steady the ark of the covenant,or or or...you will die. No apathy there!
It's evil to allow suffering when it can be prevented. It's plain ol' evil.
i stumbled upon the website e-watchman today and while i didn't have time to read over everything i found this thoughts so far quite interesting.
recently when reading matthew i can't help but feel that jesus warnings about the pharisees also applied to the gb and elders.
actually everytime jesus brought them up i realized how similar they are.
Run!

He was part of the Hollywood comedy club scene in the late 70's and we saw him several times. You didn't know what hit you when you saw his live show, as was with any of his live appearances. Those clubs were/are small and intimate, and you would many times have contact with the performer. Of course he wasn't a personal friend, but it feels a little like he was, we were all so young once.
He was well loved by those that knew him...which in and of itself is a great legacy.
i thought it was a genuinely old silent movie.
it was prepared for the delegates of the international conventions.
a young man in a sound car goes to different homes in the neighborhood, and comes upon a bereaved husband with two young daughters.
Wow. Just wow.
