Paul Draper's Argument from Evil - The Best One?

@jayjay2, @the thread

For those that may be unfamiliar with the initial form of the argument from evil

  1. If God exists, then God is omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect.
  2. If God is omnipotent, then God has the power to eliminate all evil.
  3. If God is omniscient, then God knows when evil exists.
  4. If God is morally perfect, then God has the desire to eliminate all evil.
  5. Evil exists.
  6. If evil exists and God exists, then either God doesn’t have the power to eliminate all evil, or doesn’t know when evil exists, or doesn’t have the desire to eliminate all evil.
  7. Therefore, God doesn’t exist.

Ha ha theists…LOL

There are two failing points for theists. The absolute moral value of god…good luck with that theists…LOL…and the clarification of the meaning of evil. Evil the word, exists as a descriptor…but does evil exist as a supernatural force? Ummmmm no, due to lack of evidence.

The things to watch out for from the theists horseshit, is any error of ambiguity fallacy…like the usually purposeful equivocation fallacy. Platinga and “the church” are big exploiters of the words “faith” and “evil” as equivocation fallacies…which have both already been addressed on this thread.

I just don’t know if jj is an atheist or theist…maybe if I watch the video, I could likely figure that out…or equate jj’s sidesteps as a typically theitard dishonest trait. But alas, I try to stay away from utubby vids, and prefer the OP clearify specific points of the video, in his own words, so there is no ambiguity…how about it jj?

Welcome BTW jj. :slight_smile:
