How do you live in this world - filled with wars and chaos - with no hope of redemption or things getting better, and just thing “yep, this is all there is, life is good”. As Christians, we have assurance, certainty and comfort in that Jesus is coming back to judge the world, destroy all the wicked and bring us to eternal life. Atheists don’t have that. Even worse, some even prefer to insult this God. What’s keeping me grounded in this life is the knowledge that God dictates when my life ends- not me.

    God is omnipotent. He is the creator of all things.

    So god created evil. God also has the power to destroy evil without destroying every human - god is omnipotent.

    I would be so depressed if I believed in the doomsday death cults!

      You cannot destroy “evil” without destroying “good”.

      Evil is defined by the absence of good.

      If you got rid of the darkness you would lose all of the colors, you would lose all of the sight, because there would be nothing to see except for the light.
