  • This is not what you learn in an introduction to philosophy class. Maybe an introduction to theology class, but that's the most worthless class you could ever take.

  • We die because our bodies wear out.

    Illnesses because of other creatures fighting for survival=Germs and Viruses. Natural disasters because we built our homes in the wrong place with the wrong materials, and God won't stop them because he doesn't care/doesn't exist/is waiting for us to take action. Holocaust=God's punishing us/doesn't care/building up wrath/doesn't exist. The Jews during WWII would be just be a group of people that didn't defend themselves. Good and evil depend on perspective!

  • @FutureFrogman7 you obviousley are a scientific person

  • Can religion give us any answers? The answer is simple. Every one of these questions is basically a human attempt to blame god for our own actions. No religion prevents humanity for being stupid and harmful to themselves. Until humanity takes responsibility for its actions and works together to end their acts of greed no religion, government, or system can end these problems.

  • Why is their evil = because many humans choose to be selfish, greedy, lazy or stupid harming the collective for their personal selfish goals.

    Suffering = We must blame our suffering on the acts of humanity. Weather god exists or not it is humans that cause suffering, fail to fix it, or fail to prevent it.

  • God not stopping = Man does not truly follow the words of any gods. Their greed and desire to dominate each other makes them place people in situations where they can not cope with sudden changes in the environment.

    Holocausts = are created by man not god. Man has freedom of choice and it is man that choses to destroy other men not god.

    What is evil = selfish and greedy acts of stupidity done by individuals that harms the over all collective.

  • Death=we stop breathing and our bodies begin to decompose.

    Illness=because we expose our bodies to things that are less then ideal

    Poverty=because humans created an artificial measure of power called wealth and do not distribute it evenly

    Natural disasters=the normal changes in the environment that humans failed to prepare for.

    Religion on suffering = a combination of excuses to explain pain humans feel because of mans in ability to take care of each other.

  • Most of the questions were idiotic.

  • @DragonBruceLee27 Why why not?

  • @brianmenendez why not?
