If God does exist, he is evil. (Abrahamic god)

I wish these debate rounds were longer. Ah, well. As this debate specifies an Abrahamic God, I will use various texts for my argument."Now, I will express what is known and said about God. He is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent."These ideas might be said, but they are certainly not known. In fact, if anything is known about God, it is that He is entirely unknowable. Nobody can say anything definitively about God. Thus, the basis of your argument (these four ideals) are quick to be refuted by various texts. Some of your points don't even factor into what makes God an inherently bad figure. Omniscience, omnipresence, for example, only speak to God's viewing an event, or being there. This, in itself, has nothing to do with God's badness or goodness, speaking only to the fact the He is there, much like an audience member at a movie. I'll address omnipotence later on."One could argue that God doesn't want to interfere with freewill, and that God gave humans the power to choose to do evil things. First of all, in the Bible, God performs miracles, which is indeed interfering with freewill"Your point about God performing miracles in the Bible is essentially hearsay. Let me explain... the Bible, Quran, and Torah all speak to God's miracles in each respective book-- as of hundreds of years ago. However, this does not speak to what God does today. No holy book, by itself, speaks to God's providence today; the respective religion handles that. On the other hand, we people do have free will. Science has shown this. Okay, you could get nit-picky and say, "Well, synapses fire millionths of a second before we make a decision," yadda yadda yadda. But let's just assume that's free will. It is our decision to do what we want, when we want (http://en.wikipedia.org...)."(I)f God performs a miracle and interferes and stops the rapist from raping the woman, and the murder from murdering her son, 2 people's freewill be affected (the murderer's and rapist's)."Fair enough, as God edits an event for a more preferable outcome."If he does nothing, 2 people's freewill will be affected (the mother's and her son's )."But that's not true at all. My free will has absolutely nothing to do with someone else's free will. If someone decides to kill me, my free will won't stop it-- we are all constantly at the mercy of someone else's free will. Somebody (let's say a bystander) not doing something about it has zero to do with my free will."Therefore, him not doing anything is taking the murderer's and rapist's side in the situation, therefor favoring evil."But to take away someone's free will is evil. It is not favoring evil to let the dice fall where they may, it is essentially random. Even if you know where the dice will land, it is not in favor of the other players to change what you might want it to be."One could also argue that in the end the rapist and murderer will go to Hell so they will learn their lesson. This is illogical because you can't learn a lesson if you're dead."That's more of an atheist thought than Christian, don't you think?"And being burned in Hell for eternity still won't teach them why it's wrong to murder and rape."1. Like spanking a child for doing something wrong, something tells me they'd figure it out. 2. The Bible never says Hell is for eternity. In fact, in the (arguably) most famous quote in the Bible, it is said, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." In different places in the Bible, like here, those who die in sin do just that-- die. Cease to exist. Which is what atheists believe anyways, so there's essentially no harm done (http://www.miqteens.com...)."Why doesn't an all-good doing god put some type of action into place to make the murder and rapist realize..."Because that would be interrupting free will. God won't break scientific knowledge (free will) for no reason. Just because He could doesn't mean he should or will."God is supposed to be good, Superman is supposed to be good. Why are they on two different sides of the saving [sic]?"Because God gave Superman free will to stop the bad guys if he so desired. He's not going to force Superman to do it; that would be against Superman's free will, which we've established as bad."Why does he allow the deaths of innocent children? Everything that happens is a result of God because he can choose whether or not he will interfere..."If you know, for a fact, God could intervene. You don't; nobody knows that. Giving people (like those kids in Africa) advantages instead of letting those dice fall is interfering with free will for someone."(E)verything that happens is within God's "plan" (which actually contradicts humanity's 'freewill'). God's plan requires the deaths of children and innocent people, God = Good."As I've been trying to prove this round, there is nothing to suggest that God has a "plan", intervenes in free will, or requires "the deaths of innocent people" like your inevitable and flimsy Hitler analogy would suggest."God is like Hitler, just like Hitler, because he allowed Hitler to carry out his plans."By that logic, God is just like Bill Gates because He allowed Bill Gates to donate billions to charity. God is just like Abraham Lincoln for freeing the slaves. God is just like John Wayne Gacy for killing thirty children. It works both ways. This analogy is very poor and makes no sense."I'm not saying he needs to get rid of every evil and hardship, but he allows excessive, pointless evil..."He also allows excessive, beautiful good. Like I said before-- it works both ways. The world is not such a dark and scary place as your pessimistic argument would try to make it sound. The world is a two-sided coin. There's just as much good as there is bad."Let's say that God did have something to do with this (cop and typhoon thing)."Fair enough, but let's say He didn't. He let the dice fall. Good things happen, bad things happen. How people perceive it is irrelevant."My issue is that theists put God in a "win-win" situation. If 8 year old Roy Barns survives being shot in the head, it's a miracle. If Tommy Young's uncle dies from being shot in the head, it's "God works in mysterious ways".As you said yourself, this is your issue with theists. Lots of theists don't think this way. This speaks nothing towards God, and is essentially useless in this argument."So, he allows unnecessary evils to happen to some people, but not to others."He's not allowing it, He's letting us have our own free will. Let's say this argument worked the other way, and exclusively good things happened all the time, but people began complaining about God making them not do stuff. Then we'd be having a debate about "Should God allow free will?" People would simply find something else to attempt to shoot down God being good. This does not speak to God's goodness or badness.___Sources placed throughout my argument. I look forward to your response.
