I fear risk like nothing else so right now i'm going to go buy GICs - would I be taking a significant risk if I were to turn one of those GICs into a share purchase in a Mutual Fund?

Hey there /sci/. Today we're going to use simple logic to prove that God is either a) Evil or b) nonexistent

For this argument we must assume that god is both all powerful (omnipotent - this also rules out Satan as a source of evil) and all knowing (omniscient).

The argument goes as thus:
"Is god willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent (evil).
Is he both able, and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him god?"

Apologists often counter this argument by claiming evil exists because God decided to give man free will.

However, with thought its obvious this doesntcome close to countering the argument, because it makes the incorrect assumption that every act that could be considered 'evil' ("something that is immoral, causes pain or harm, is offensive, or threatening.") is caused by a human decision.

An example of a decisionless evil is that of a child dying slowly and painfully of a random disease. There is immense suffering and pain, and few would claim it is anything but 'evil' for it to happen (/b/ for example would call it 'funny', or possibly 'porn').

Taking away the human factor allows the complete removal of the free will problem, an animal burning slowly to death in a fire is something most would call evil.

In a perfect world ruled by a perfectly good god, both of these acts would not happen. At all times god has the option of healing the child or rescuing the animal. Or at least giving them both a painless quick death if thats preferable. Yet he does not, and this has nothing to do with free will.

He should have the capability to prevent these evils. He should have the knowledge of them. He should wish to prevent them. Yet these things clearly happen. Thus God is either nonexistent, as he has no prevented them. Or he is evil, and simply does not care to prevent them.

Thoughts /sci/?

I really think religion threads should be banned, since they are pretty much not related to this board.
Anyone agree?

We need a philosophy or religion board for that shit.

It would have to be going the same place as you, plus using oil to power itself, and by the fact when it turns a corner. the amgnetic field will weaken slightly so if weakend too much you'll carry on going but probably off a cliff...
