There is no possible way god exists unless you believe in utter hate and evil Gary Lindsey Jr

Hi Backwardseden, I believe I found one reply in your comments: (1) If a person X does something terrible to take away the free will of another person Y, then the person Y has no free will. I repeat, God gives the potential for free will to people. If that person dies, either of natural causes, or by murder, then of course that person no longer has free will, by virtue of being dead. That does not mean that the person never had free will in their lives. Imagine a seventeen year old gets murdered by Gary. Yes, Gary took away the future choices that the dead person would have had. Is that your argument? I think that is obvious, no one would disagree with you on that. Moreover, if Gary does something terrible, but short of murder, then Gary minimizes the choices that the victim has. Let us say that Gary steals a thousand dollars from Sally. Sally does lose some choices, as she can now no longer buy the computer she hoped to buy. Yes, when people harm others, they often minimize the choices others have, either entirely snuffing it out, or lessening it. But, that does not mean Sally lacks free will. She still has options. On the positive side, whenever someone gives birth to a child, they give a life of free will to that child. Also on the positive side, when people help each other, they increase the choices that others have. For example, if John gives a thousand dollars to Sally, she now can buy the computer she wants. Civilization has been a slow march of increased freedom. Our life expectancy, literacy and education, health, prosperity and economic ability are all trending the right direction, as a species. Of course, I do not credit God with giving this extra freedom to the race, nor would I blame God if humans started to take freedom away from each other by harming each other. I blame the person who actually did it - humans. You, as an atheist, should have no trouble blaming humans, not God, for what humans do, since God does not even exist in your worldview. A more general note. The universe started as chaos, particles bouncing in a void. Slowly, God started to bring order to chaos, giving rise to the conditions to support life, then life, then humans, then you and me. We are lucky to be here. We are dependent beings, take away our breath for five minutes, and we are dead. We are a step away from dying all the time, and that is on the lucky days when the particles in our body are organized in such a way as to sustain life. I don’t know why you expect things to be perfect, and are angry at God when they are not. Things are a chaos, forces more powerful than us can knock us down at any time. Thankfully, God is slowly putting things together, with our help. But, we are nowhere close to done. Join in the ordering of all things, not the chaos of things. Of course, much is still in waste. What else can you expect? Do you expect to just start existing through no work of your own, have particles arranged in such a way to support your life, through no work of your own, have food, shelter and some democracy and rule of law given to you, through no work of your own, have a body that can flourish and be happy at times, through no work of your own, and on top of that expect existence to be the perfect little way you think it should be? That is pretty entitled thinking you are imposing on a universe that doesn't care for you at all. The world is full of forces stronger than us, these forces end up destroying us sooner or later. But, God started putting a few things together, and we can hold a few things together as well, if we want to be good people. Chaos and disaster are to be expected, not surprising or alarming at all. The amazing thing is when things go well, when for a brief moment we are alive, when for a brief moment of life, we are happy. You are so busy blaming God for some evil that God didn’t even do, even though you don't think God even exists to be blameable, and refusing to be grateful for the universe that for a moment gives rise to you and gives you a moment in the sun to flourish.
