Let me say again:
When you say 'God is evil', you are actually saying 'God is not doing (or has done) this creation thing they way I think he should (or should have), were he a good God.'
In effect, you are postulating that your view of good and evil is the right view of good and evil, and any sane person can see that...so why can't God?
To that, I again ask:
Does the clay say to the potter:
What are you making?
We are the clay. Rational, reasoning, thinking clay. We CAN tell the potter that he's doing a bad job. And you ARE telling him that. That is not the point. The question isn't asking does the clay actually talk to the potter? Can clay really do that?
It is asking whether you are putting yourself in the creation position, or the creator position.
If you wish to be the creator, then don't ask whether God is creating evil, or is evil. You are the creator, not God. If you wish to be the creation, then don't ask why God is creating evil. You do not know evil, nor do you know good, so how can you say what is being created?
One does not see a house from the foundation. Nor does one see it from the outside. Do not ask why a window is there, or why the door is here. Be in the house. That is all that is asked of the creation.
Anything else, and the creation becomes the creator.
Thats great and all but your missing the fact that we were created to be aggresively independent only so we can be punished for not being mindlessly obiendient. According to you god created us with the capability to think for ourselves but considers us thinking for ourselves as the gravest sin anyone could ever commit. Its absurd. On top of that you expect us to believe this being is kind and loving after it abandoned us and tortures us? To be a true believer in this nonsense requires turning your brain off and throwing common sense/reason out the window. No thanks.
