The real reason for evil's existence. what do you think?

[Wade12345]

The first murder recorded in the Bible was specifically motivated by the fact Cain hated God. Because he hated God, he hated Abel, who was the most Righteous man who ever lived, and so he murdered Abel.

Athesits regularly admit they'd rather go to Hell than worship God.

I had an agnostic tell me that if God revealed himself to him, hed' tell God to "Go fuck himself"

Evil exists because human beings flat out hate God.

Think it's a scale problem. Take software piracy as an example. Most people just have to click a download button to download some movie for free. The people they ripped off and stole from might not even live in the same country they do, and their chances of being caught and reprimanded are slim to none.

Meanwhile, rewind thousands of years in human history. Imagine you're living in a tribe. If you steal best hunter's spear, chances are that first you know who the best hunter is and so you know who you're hurting, second you're hurting everyone who counts on the best hunter in the tribe, and third you're probably even hurting yourself since you're included in the former group.

Sheesh, you need to rename yourself "airport". You're flying in all sorts of directions and wasting a lot of oxygen and fuel in the process!

Cain did not "hate" God. In fact he is probably the first redeemed and reformed soul in the bible. He committed a crime, confessed, and went on to build great cities and roads until he died. The bible does not have him doing any wrong, since.

Abel for his part was innocent and too kind for his own good.

Atheist's don't matter, in the religious debate. Agnostics tend to get laughed at for their dithering. But "evil" is a separate debate altogether.

We have free will and evil is a choice right. I think its pride that does it

It was an angel first before it became evil

When God commanded all of em to bow head on floor to Adam, everyone did except the 1 which God created with fire... his point was that fire is superior than soil (Adam and all humans are made of soil)... so whyd he bow head to something made of soil cuz soil goes down to the floor but fire blows upwards and he felt superior and egoistic and didn't care that fire and soil both are made by God and none of them got created on its own but by God... and he went against God and since then this Evil thing started

Because the slaves needed a way to shame their superiors, so they created a ruleset where having power and getting what you want is this new thing called "evil" while being a fuckin pussy became this new thing called "good."

There's no reason, that's just the way some people are. The OT is completely mythical and explains nothing. If there's an explanation, it will lie in genetics and neurology and psychology.

Yea if you go ask a career criminal why they do it they’ll blame God…. Rofl.
