Did God create Evil? (Page 2)

the use of common sense is far from getting the answer to this question. we have to take certain concepts here into consideration. " Evil": is good to get this right that evil is not a thing and thus was never created. Evil is the privasion of good(absence of goodness). further more the concept of God shows an all loving God.thus the principle of non-contradiction is applicable here ( something to be present and at the same time not to be present). God alone is the "summum bonum" the highest conceivable good. certainly there is evil in the world perhaps brought by the improper use of our free will in neglect of the good. our free will should lead us to the ultimate goodness which is God. reading the bible as a novel will never get us the right meaning and what those sacred writers wished to communicate under the influence of God.

all i know is- he created everything. evil deeds generates from the mind before it can be accomplished phisically or which ever way. and he gave conscience for you to have the feelings of good or bad.

if you do something bad and your father corrects you by giving you punishment does not mean he is evil or doing somthing evil but to correct you. He(GOD) created heaven, and hell to punish evil ones. so you won't say he created evil.

He gave conscience to judge within yourself, if you think that's not enough.... then i don't know anymore..

just do what you know it's good so you don't have problems with him in the end time.

 He doesnt do bad things?, He doesnt do bad things?, isn't living millions of africans in poverty and with a corrupt government bad enough? isn't ignoring armed men while they rob a church bad enough?, isn't letting more then a million people die from natural disasters like Tsunamis bad enough

 If he loves his people, he won't have put more than a million africans in poverty, yet africans(unlike me) worship him more than anybody else in this world. He loves us at the same time he 'inspired' his people to create a book that supports slavery; the white men whom inslaved blacks were christians and to them, it wasn't a sinful act maybe because the bible said so (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_slavery).

 It's reasons like this why I became an Agnostic

Speaking of Adam and Eve, the fact that a woman was created from a man doesn't convince me, it's meant to be the other way round coz nowadays u don't need sperm to creat a baby, btw were adam and eve white, black, chinese etc coz I cant believe that they were the first people in the world at it was through them that everybody else was born
