It has existence, by definition. You are creating a language game by declaring all 'being' to be good, thus anything against being, isn't even 'being', let alone being wrong from the get-go, it creates a dualism that doesn't tie in with monism.

yes it has existence insofar as it is within existence, insofar as it has being to some degree; every being proceeds from something that is good and all things long for their source, for goodness in likeness to it; evil is a deviation, an unnatural state.

The premise of your argument is that pleasure=good, or that pleasure=act of benevolence by the Creator.

The mystery of a higher power is that its motives, or mechanisms by which it achieves its motives, are not able to be comprehended. So such a being could have aims which are "benevolent," yet that benevolence does not meet the immediate needs (or wants) of every human person.

So if you're seriously asking why a benevolent deity cannot exist when every human's life is not an unending orgy of pleasure and purpose, I am just going to say that the premise of your question is retarded.

Pedophilia is also great from my perspective.

Nothing of real value would be lost to you, which I am perfectly fine with. For me, though, I would rather find something of value in pedophilia so I can justify it's existence, and I find this in art, and in the families it has inadvertantly produced that have had children that created and evolved technology and science a few steps forward.

God says i am that i am. So i have beheld the most beautiful one who matches perfectly with my soul. They weep and gnash their teeth. If it were up to gods freedom, you would love and trust him. But it takes two to love and reality is completed in three. One day his beloved will wake but i have no ability to, nor the right. But i tried to give you seeds from my paradise. Do with them what you will.

You are the one posing division and a separate existence of good, as if goodness could be from itself, be absolute, self-subsisting.

Evil is just challenge. Challenge causes people to grow. Evil is only a terrifying thing from a mortal perspective. And yes, God gave us free will so that we might choose him.

>so you would rather delude yourself with weak justifications for abhorrent behavior
abhorrent to whom? I have found benefit from such behaviour, thereby making it no longer abhorrent. It is YOU WHO THINKS IT IS ABHORRENT, precisely because it is "socially unacceptable", "not right in the eyes of god", "immoral", etc. etc. all feminine reasons (aka not reasons, the definition of "weak justification", hypocrite).
>The "god works in mysterious ways" is a better excuse than this shit, and that's saying something.
Yes, "better", according to you, precisely because it aligns more with your own nihilistic and feminine ideology that cringes at every suggestion of violence, war, force, any allusion to these realities.

I guess all lifeforms lacking the "moral faculty" are pedophiles. Schizophrenic.

>not right in the eyes of god", "immoral",
it infringes on my rights, endangers and destroys the lives innocent children and endangers my family. I don't need to explain away why pedophilia is bad, it should be intrinsic from both your social upbringing AND your naturally empathetic brain. But you seem to be a sociopath who was raised by monkeys or something. You are a danger to society and I very sincerely hope you die soon
>I guess all lifeforms lacking the "moral faculty" are pedophiles
or sociopaths. Or batshit insane and belong in a psych ward. There is no hope for a self-deluded tripfaggot like you. I wonder how your edginess holds up if your entire family is tortured and raped in front of you. I wonder how you'd be justifying rape if you were raped as a child. "Rape results in art I like!' you'll scream as your sphincter is torn and your mother screams for help. I bet you feel so superior for being above morals and you don't see how much of an imbecile you really are by rejecting millions of years of human and social development, you attention whore dunce

Why?

To all the shitty answers in this thread:

Relativist and/or Cosmological arguments are bad in general and have no place in Christianity in particular.

you wont get to atheism by disproving theism. atheism is a philosophy of knowledge that has almost nothing to do with religion.

God just sounds like a bitter, incompetent programmer. Even though he could program us to never forget him, he instead decides to punish us with no rhyme or reason? Nice one, godcopers

Read Proclus' On the Existence of Evils. He gives the basic argumentation that Christians have been plagiarizing for centuries (like so many other things they plagiarize from the Neoplatonists without giving credit).
