Atheists cannot logically argue against God because of evil
Theodicy (the problem of evil) is an extremely invalid argument from the atheistic Worldview. To argue against evil, you must assume an objective good. Yet, such a source cannot exist under the atheistic presuppositions.
According to atheism, there is no good or evil, only the confines of culture and society that mold and shape our perceptions of good and evil.
However, if there is no right, then there can truly be no wrong. It's all relative to the person's point of view.
Edit: The conversation has been good, friends. I appreciate the respectful way we've composed ourselves tonight/today/whatever time of day it is for you. I'm off to the land of Nod, but keep the comments coming. I'll try to continue replying to as many as I can in the morning. God Bless.
Edit 2: Once again, my need for sleep overcomes my desire to continue the discussions. However, if you fine folks are still lively in the morning, we'll continue the discussion. It's been enjoyable, friends! I appreciate the general air of respect, despite our remarkably obvious differences of opinion. Hurexus out.

34 RepliesThe existence of good or evil does not hinge upon the existence of a God. What we perceive as "good" or "evil" is passed down from generation to generation in human societies. For instance, we know that murder and rápe are wrong, and we consider it evil. We teach younger generations what is and is not socially acceptable. (Insert Nature vs. Nurture debate here). I think it's ridiculous to assume that because we have good people and bad people in this world, that it somehow proves that God exists. I don't see how those two things are linked whatsoever. If God did exist, how would we know that He's inherently "good"? How can humans assume to know the nature of a God who we've never seen or talked to? Sadly, there's no proof whatsoever that He does exist. The Bible doesn't prove His existence through vague stories written 2,000+ years ago by some religious fanatics in the desert. Religion is mostly based off of personal feelings without any facts to back it up. Tl;dr - Good and evil does exist in society based on our perceptions of what's right and wrong, but is NOT tied to the existence of any God or Devil. God's existence cannot be proven, or fully disproven.
