Helping Would Be Killstealing: Difference between revisions

* This is one of the main solutions to the Teodicetheodicy problem, the question of how [[God]] can be [[Big Good|Good]], [[The Omniscient|Omniscient]] and [[Invincible Hero|Almighty]] and still allow the world to become as horrible as it is. God is able to make the bad go away, and He does want the bad to go away—but this desire is counterbalanced by His desire that we will learn to solve our own problems and grow stronger in our free will and virtue.

** And the other half of it is that if God ''always'' stepped in to prevent people from being dicks to other people, then there's praticallypractically no ability to choose to be a dick. Which is basically pissing all over human free will and forcing us to do what He wants.

** Then there's the median between the two, that God is able to make the bad go away, and He does want the bad to go away—but He ''refuses'' to do so because ''humanity rejected him'' in Eden. He actually does intend to ''eventually'' make the bad go away during Christ's thousand-year reign, but is continuously waiting until the last possible moment so that the maximum amount of people will have a chance to [[Heel Face Turn|turn good]] and be eligible for saving; meanwhile, humanity's screw-ups prove that we need God.
