  1. God wishes to prevent the evil, but cannot; in this case god is not omnipotent and therefore incapable of creating the university, therefore in this scenario god cannot exist
  2. God wishes to prevent the evil and has the capability; yet there is evil, therefore in this scenario god cannot exist
  3. God does not wish to prevent the evil yet has the capability to do so if he wished; in this scenario god is cruel and hateful and unworthy of praise or worship; therefore in this scenario god cannot exist in the context that people accept him and their faith in the love of god is unfounded
  4. God does not wish to prevent the evil and is incapable of doing so even if he wished; in this case god is not omnipotent and therefore incapable of creating the university, therefore in this scenario god cannot exist

Ur so stupid , the world is a test so there should be evil in it , u got it backwards and the people that liked ur comment are also dumb as u

Ad hominem, followed up by a non sequitor, finished up with another ad hominem.

So you believe that god wishes for there to be evil and for bad things to happen to good people and yet you will praise him as a loving lord?

Similar thing happened at my grade 11 retreat. We also had a drop box, and my friend asked, "If my girlfriend and I only had **** sex, is she still a virgin?"

That was the only question they read at our retreat.

College humour is terrible, quite possibly the most unfunny videos in existence. Which would explain your bland humour.

To clarify: I agree with the 'necessity of challenge' point that Juve is trying to bring up.. if things are easy and don't come with much effort, then we can't be appreciative for what we have. If life is all fun and perfect for us, then we don't see the value in said perfection, because we can't judge our lives relative to another person. If we continue to live in our ignorant happy bliss without the knowledge that things could be much shittier, we'll not be prepared.

But evil shit like mass starvation and genocide is stupid -- pure suffering refutes this 'challenge' thinking though.




p.s. college humor = rox

Some of them are REALLY funny, but for the most part I agree with you.

that would acutally explain a lot if heaven was existed since then our dimension would acutally be within the 4th dimension but we can't see it cause we are limited to our 3D world,

that weird. i remember watching a documentary where they were explaining the 4th dimension and told how it should not be something we just can't comprehend. like for a 2D image there is no "width" its just non existant and just can't be understood by someone if they lived in a 2D world because to them there is only length and height, and its supposed to be like that for humans, we can speculate what a 4D world might look like but we can never really ever know.

but still thats an awesome pic im going to steel it.

lucky you... in grade 8 my huge pregnant teacher instead of teaching up math decided to teach us how to use a condom using her fingers for a dick and explained to girls who to put it on for the guys...then kept rotating her fingers so we can get a different angle of how it would look....and she seemed really enthusiastic about it.. it was a really interesting class to say the least. its not everyday you get to witness a pregnant math teacher use a condom over her finger and explain its benifits while giving you a full 360 degree view of it on her 2/3 fingers.
