  1. They are all correct.  I believe you wanted us to answer with 2, but God sends rain on the wicked and the righteous.


  2. Evil must exist for God to be omnibenevolent.  Otherwise, you're just a robot.

  3. Why does the existence of God make it impossible for evil to exist?

    We are humans and as such, some of us are evil.

  4. Number 2

  5. 2 and 3.

  6. All of the above are false.

  7. 2

  8. 2 Should be "God is a Just God."

  9. Nbr 2

  10. 2 and 3 are false

  11. *drink*

    I agree. A Creator-of-All cannot be omnibenevolent.

    ADD: Is there any objective way to tell the difference between really believing a deity is benevolent and the apotropaic fear of angering a vengeful deity?

    Apotrope (adj.: apotropaic) refers to objects such as amulets, talismans, incantations, or other symbols and phrases intended to "ward off evil" or "avert or combat evil.”

    If I call my boss “the best boss in the world” do I really mean that he is the best boss in the world or that I WANT him to be a nice boss to me, so I am kissing up to him.

    If I call a large, growling, drooling, guard dog that stands between me and the exit “nice doggie” do I really mean that it is a nice dog or am I trying to convince it (and me) that I am not a threat and should be allowed to move on peacefully?

    If I tell my Significant Other “You are the only woman in the world” do I really mean that all the other women have died due to some strange misogynistic disease, or am I telling her romantic white lies that I am only attracted to her?

  12. If we assume the truth of the myth, they are all true, to someone.

    If, OTOH, we do not, accept the myth, then they are all false

  13. All are false.

  14. They're all false.

  15. Yup, 2 & 3.

  16.         God,in whatever form one believes,gets the 'rap' 4 way to much!!!

    NONE of these statements are false... #1.Evil exists yeah,but only

    because God, in His omnipotent benevolence, gave Man 'free will'.

    So evil is the shortcoming of MAN & NOT God. It sounds like u r

    looking 4 an analytical excuse to not believe n a god...

                                                                                    GOD

  17. All of them are false.  Evil is a subjective concept and there are no gods.

  18. Assuming God exists, 2.

  19. Answering within the confines of a logic puzzle I believe the false statement is number 2.  God is omnibenevolent.  Evil could not exist if there was an omnibenevolent God.


  20. you are wrong they can coexist

    God is eternally good

    God has unlimited power

    Evil does exist because it is the opposite of choosing to disobey God


  21. Since "God" doesn't exist, both 2 & 3 are false.
