That’s a phrase that I heard recently, and I think that it’s from some famous philosopher, but uhm…

I don’t know how to debunk it.

I’m doing my best to believe without thinking too much about that.

Some days it gets hard tho, so I’d like to hear you guys’ take on it.

    Sure, but monotheism still has to be internally consistent, and labeling it (“monotheism”) doesn’t address the inconsistency.

    If anything it just means that benevolent and omnipotent monotheism is intrinsically inconsistent.

      Yeah, the point is that God is not “allowing” the devil to do evil. If Christianity is truly monotheistic, then the devil is a creation of God, just like anything else. There is no independent being. So yes, like the title says, he is an accomplice.
