God is evil if He has miracles and does not use them.

Exactly.So why does God decide to side with the rapist? If God setup free will the way it exists today... why are rapists allowed to remove the free will of rape victims?As a society, we deem this wrong. We create police forces to try and prevent this from happening as much as possible. We currently don't think it's right for someone to decide someone else's fate. Therefore, when someone decides to do this, we deem it reasonable to prevent them.What's the difference between a police force stopping a rape, and God stopping a rape?

God has never been shown to have stopped a rape.

You seem to keep claiming this, despite all the evidence that animals do indeed exhibit an understanding of evil.
But, fair enough, I don't care to continue this vein, it is inconsequential anyway. How do you turn my very specific, unique example into "whatever they want" and "puppets?"I think you're thinking about something else.

Yet you offer no evidence or justification for your belief. But your definition is simply the same silly one adopted by the Fundies, that somehow "our society, our feelings, our emotions of the time" are those of the God; that you are special.Why is one society's feelings and emotions superior or preferred to some other society's feeling and emotions? There yet again you simply post misrepresentations. You cannot agree with me on a point I have never made.Edited by jar, : hit wrong key

That's true, the police certainly do exist

More utter nonsense and total misrepresentation as well as being totally inane.If God is evil according to some society that does not mean that god is evil to any honest and thinking person. It means that that society considers that God to be evil.

Oh, I think I see what you're thinking, now.No, I do not think that God should think God is evil. God can think whatever He wants to.
All I'm doing is holding God to the same standard that I would hold my neighbor to... that I would judge God as evil. That's all. I never said they were.
I'm just saying what our current society's feelings and emotions conclude about God.You're free to not agree with society, as anyone and everyone else is.Even if society didn't agree with me, I could easily frame my argument as:IF God exists.
IF God is all powerful.
IF "evil" includes not helping others when you're quite capable of helping them at no risk or loss of resources to yourself.
IF God does not prevent rapes.THEN God is evil.Whether or not it applies to our current society, or any other one, or for all time, or just a split second... is all irrelevant blather.

Absolutely true.
Unless, of course, that honest and thinking person is a part of the society that judges God as evil.

What book?

Read it again. The book depicts Him as good. You're just superimposing your subjective ideas of "evil" on it.

The answer to that question is: Not necessarily because of either good or evil. So you want God to selectively remove the free will of the rapist instead of the free will of the victim? As a society, we deem saturated fats to be a "bad" thing. Yet as individuals we consume them avidly. Group-think is fickle at best. I don't see it as a reliable gauge for "good" and "evil". Maybe it's the price. Maybe you just can't afford God's salary.

The whole problem with this whimsical approach to spiritual interference from deities is that you lump God and satan into one result.God is Spirit. There is only one(1) Holy Spirit.Humans are flesh(mind, will, emotions) and can be filled with the Spirit.satan operates as an antithesis. We basically can be filled with the Spirit(when we are humble and reverential, allowing the Spirit to fully live in us and through us.We can also choose to allow our flesh(mind/will/emotions to manifest.The rapist is freely choosing his flesh. He allows the twisted perversity of the addiction/mental illness to manifest and he purposefully violates the victim. God is only responsible inasmuch as He initially allowed freewill and satan to exist(as well as our decision to feed our flesh/illness/addiction.)The fact of the matter is that due to freewill, evil exists and manifests through humans. Hurricanes are not evil, nor our Tsunamis...they are simple actions of nature.One could argue that God is evil for allowing potential pain and death to result, but I doubt you would have enough of a case(nor sharp enough mind) to successfully challenge Him in court about it.

Correct. You contradict yourself. Which is it? Free choice or addiction/mental illness? And if the rapist was your judge, would you win or lose?

Uh... yeah.
Just like we have police to do the same thing. Sure, maybe. And, of course, maybe not.
That's exactly why the question exists... because we have no reasonable answer.I'm not saying I have an answer.
I'm also saying that God may have a satisfactory answer that I'm not aware of.I'm just saying that your answers are, as of yet, unsatisfactory.
