That wasn't the argument's conclusion, though. The argument is that a supposed god either can't do anything about this overwhelming mass of suffering or he chooses not to.

Well that would cause someone to think God is evil or negligent. This logic leaves out the possibility of what God created willingly choosing to do evil. Then you may ask why God would give man the propensity to do evil in the first place. Well would you rather have God force everyone in the world to be perfect or would want to be yourself. I think God wanted us to choose to do good rather than force us to be good. As far as natural disasters, I honestly don't know why, but we always look at the negative side of situations without noticing the positive, what ever it may be. These are just my views stemming from Christianity so don't attack me like most would. |

And I would imagine many people affected by such disasters would be deeply offended by the notion that there's a positive side to it, and that such a Positive end of it could justify it's occurrence. "He who does not know how to put his will into things at least puts a meaning into them: that is, he believes there is a will in them already."
