You still haven't really adressed my points to your argument, Sixx.



Incidentally, when I say evil, I am including things that have no will but are bad for us; disease, storms, natural disasters, even old age. The classical definition, the one used in the old testament, doesn't imply will at all; an evil is simply anything that is bad for us. This is the view of evil that I think makes the most sense objectively, and when viewed in this light, the question of why evil exists becomes far less daunting. It's certainly hard to conceive of a worthwhile existence that didn't involve suffering. Beings born into such a World, should it even be possible, would have little more personality than rocks.
