This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If Christ returned, I'd be an instant convert

I'd personally want to kill them for creating such evil and suffering in the world.

In the end, humans choose evil. Most people don't want to be a robot. So there is free will, free to choose. But when they could use free-will to do good they choose and do evil.

Babies get cancer. That's not humans choosing evil. If there is a god that created a baby just to get cancer and die before age 3, that god is evil.

There are hospitals trying their best to help with that, and you have people bombing hospitals for babies with cancer.

Animals eat animals. Isn't that evil? By that entire life is cruel, and I don't get why a god should have to take blame for it. It just seems to push away responsibility of doing good vs evil.

Those people bombing hospitals are also evil. Stopping them from bombing hospitals wont stop babies from getting cancer. There can be (and are) multiple evil things and beings in life.

You seem to have forgotten the context of the comment chain. The grandparent comment of your comment that I replied to said that if Christ returned, the commenter would instantly convert. Christ returning would strongly imply that Christianity is correct. In Christianity, God is all knowing (omniscient) and all powerful (omnipotent). Being such a powerful god, if He doesn't stop babies from getting cancer in the first place, He is either evil or impotent.

That’s free will after Adam and Eve.

If you’re into that.
