Another Problem of Evil Issue
Many atheists love to believe they are superior beings. They think they're superior to Christians who believe in a God that permits all sorts of evil to happen in this world. For a case in point, there was a posting in a Facebook discussion group that was a graphic that had text that read:
You either have a God who sends child rapists to rape children or you have a God who simply watches and says: "When you're done I'm going to punish you".
If I could stop a person from raping a child, I would. That's the difference between me and your God.
The quote was attributed to Tracie Harris, from The Atheist Experience. Searching the net it looks like The Atheist Experience is an internet TV show. So Tracie Harris believes she is superior to the God of the Bible. (Of course she doesn't even believe in the God of the Bible, she just wants to embarrass Christians who do believe in the God of the Bible.)
Atheists always inspire me and this case was no exception. So I posted a reply.[...]
So you want God to intervene to stop children from being raped?
Would you like God to intervene to stop you from speeding on the highways? (Because speeding kills!)
Would you like God to intervene to stop you from lying? (Because lies hurt people too!)
