Big Questions - in no particular order
Some questions I've asked seem to fly against the face of organized religion. I'm still waiting for a good answer. I'm actually waiting for a response to most of them. I'll post the good responses.
Free Will is often offered up as the benefit of the suffering of the living world. If Free Will is so great, where does it go when we die? Theists claim eternal reward after death. If we have an eternal reward, it must be because we can no longer sin. Or maybe we are allowed to sin in the afterlife with no repercussions. Either the afterlife will feature the same suffering as Earth, or we have no freedom.
If it is so impossible that the finite, imperfect Universe might exist without a Creator, isn't it that much more impossible that an infinite, perfect being might exist? If a Creator might be unCreated and Eternal, then why might not the Universe be unCreated and Eternal? And certainly we may not have thought of some far more plausible explanation for Existence than 'somebody made it.'
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? (Epicurus)Would you rather serve God or be Good? If God came down, tapped you on the shoulder, and said "Shalt thou dash the little babies on the rocks!" Would you dash the little babies or say, "Hell No! Do it your omnipotent self!"
