Evil VS Evil VS Good VS "God"....Evil Wins...


Contradictions


Contradiction #1: Free Will VS "God":

"God" contradicts Free Will of all living beings including itself

If a being is all-knowing, it knows its future actions, what choices it will make, and it cannot change them, otherwise its knowledge would be wrong, and it wouldn't be all-knowing. An omniscient being has no free will to choose actions; all it's actions are predetermined.


--- A benevolent "god", all-knowing being only has one option in any situation, and that is the option that causes most good. Therefore, a perfectly good all-knowing "god" has no free will.
--- --An all-knowing "god" instantly knows all of its future actions and therefore has no free will to change them. A "god" with no free will is immoral.
--- --If an all-powerful and all-knowing "god" exists then this (by a long chain of cause and effect) denies any free will of any living being.
--- If "god" has free will, but never chooses evil, it is immoral because it could have created life in the same way: with free will, but also never choosing evil. Therefore if there is a "god",it must be immoral, not all-powerful and/or not all-knowing.
--- Free will is impossible if a being is perfectly good, omniscient or if it created "Time" or "Life".

Contradiction #2: Free Will VS No Free Will:

If God has NO Free Will:

--- If "love" is valid and acceptable from a worthy "god" that has NO free will to choose between good or evil then that "god" could have created beings the same way; where their "love" and worth is valid, despite there not being the existence of evil or free will.

If God has Free Will:

--- If a "god" has "free will", but never chooses evil, out of choice, and still has free will then it could have created beings with the same quality.
--- By choice, beings would never choose evil, but would still have free will. So, if God has no free will, there is no need for the existence of evil.
--- If this is true,"god" must have created evil for other reasons, and therefore is specifically immoral for causing all suffering. If a "god" has free will, then it is immoral for not granting its creations the same ability to have this free will and use it to only not choose evil. Or this "god" does choose evil and suffering. This proves that it is immoral as it is also omniscient.
--- Either way, with or without "free will" a "god" would be immoral, and/or does not exist, and/or is not all-knowing.

Contradiction #3: Evil VS "God":

Evil and suffering contradict existence of a benevolent god

The existence of Evil, despite their being an all-powerful, benevolent "creator", is normally explained away by saying that free will is more important than happiness, that it has a higher moral worth. Allowing us to choose between good and evil, and "creating" us so that we are capable and inclined to do so, is more important than there being no suffering.

--- If a "god" is all-powerful and all-good, it would have created a universe with no suffering and no evil. But, evil and suffering exist. Therefore a "god" does not exist, is not all-powerful and/or is not benevolent.
--- Attempts to justify the existence of evil are called theodicies. There are no fully working theodices. Even popular ones such as the 'free will' theodicy were rejected thousands of years ago for reasons that still stand today.
--- It seems that if there is a "god", it is not the all-good moral being that classical religions would like us to believe.
