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.

    There are plenty of evils that are partly our wholly beyond human free will. Floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, drought, blight, pandemics, plague, infestations, fires, genetic diseases, etc. Those aren’t man’s doing. Whether God, the Devil, or something else entirely, the problem still stands.

      That’s just genetic drift. In my opinion, it’s neither bad nor good. It’s just a consequence of living in the world. God makes it rain on the good and the evil.

        A world and consequences of the system God created. God doesn’t just make it rain, he makes it tsunami and get covered with lava too. The fact it’s indiscriminate is worse, not better.
