if evil didn' existed the term good would be meaningless. if everyone was the same hight then the concept of someone being tall would have lost its meaning.
>>God will send most people to Hell, but he is a merciful being
he is merciful beinging because he gave us free will and our free will only means someting because good and evil exist and we can choose between them.
>>God will send most people to Hell, but he is a merciful being
this is not true, John 10:16
>God doesn't give a fuck about the innocent and about animals, but he is a merciful being
God cares about innocent and will repay them in the afterlife. animals have no souls they are just biomachines.they have no free will, they cannot distinguish between good and evil thus they are out of judgment. they don't deserve nor happines nor suffering.animals aren't consciouss they way we are.
>>God uses the existence of Evil to educate his masochistic followers, but he is a merciful being.
Yes. your parents probably did the same.by disciplanting you they made you into an adult. God being merciful doesn't mean that suffering will case to exist. God could show you mercy if you actually regreted evil you have done.this is what being merciful actually means.
>>Most followers of the Christian God are bloodthirsty egoistic hypocrites, ,but he is a merciful being
Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
he is merciful because he gave them free will and ability to do so he wont punish them and will wait patiently until they repent.this is his mercy.
>>God already knows what you are going to do and your free will is meaningless, but he is a merciful being
God already knows what you are going to do but you don't know what you are going to and from your perspective free will exist. God knows all the outcomes of your decisions but the decision to choose good instead of evil,now,depends only on you.
>Explain to me how Satan or Moloch aren't the good guys.
Black and white fallacy.Greater good and lesser evil don't exist.The true goodness,the truest virtue stands undisturbed, above false dichotomy of pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness.
