The Problem of Evil has been solved.(?)

The Nazis were in the process of inventing their own unique religion. They were not atheists. It's just Christianity has a serious problem. Jesus was a Jew. The Nazis were taking the Jew out of Christianity and throwing in racist and nationalistic garbage into some new kind of monstrosity.
Most Nazis were Protestant Christians, Hitler was Catholic, only a few were into a weird kind of Asatru, people like Bormann and Himmler.

By the definition and some logic.

1). You need theology to define theist.
2). Theology is a branch of philosophy.
3). Discussing theism without theology, is like discussion of physics without math. What's the point?

Belief in an interventionist god is very basic, it is what separates the deists from the theists. Not very deep.

That doesn't answer the question. You're avoiding the obvious.

Using a few shallow observations to criticize an entire group universally is stereotyping. Most people don't like it. It's fallacious reasoning, and they try to avoid it.

If you cannot see the problem with this, it's "goodbye", friend.

- The fall is not an historical event.
I believe it is.
- Knowing evil doesn't mean experiencing evil.
I agree, but people wanted to know it by this hard way.
- It being a short experience doesn't justify it.
Being what people wanted and given that it can't destroy the important part, soul, it is justified.
- Allowing people to experience evil is not good.
Even if they want it? Why not?
- You are establishing an arbitrary parameter to determine whether evil is a problem.
And you don't?
- It has not been proven that the righteous can get back to life.
But if they get, it shows evil was not a problem.

If you think that applying a definition is "stereotyping", it's better we stop it here. Have a nice day.

I believe it is.

That doesn't make it an historical event.
The sciences prove it is not.

I agree, but people wanted to know it by this hard way.

That is not stated in Genesis.

Being what people wanted and given that it can't destroy the important part, soul, it is justified.

Then it being a short experience doesn't justify it.

Even if they want it? Why not?

Yes, if they can't withdraw consent at any second they want. Same reason why it is not okay to rape someone that initially consented to have sex.

And you don't?

No. I am using the ordinary meaning.

But if they get, it shows evil was not a problem.

By this rationale, it is not evil for someone to willfully break your legs to make you suffer since they can be eventually restored. Besides, where is your proof?
