Contradictor Side Of The Argument

We can contradict that God is all-powerful or wholly good, or we can contradict that there is any evil in the creation.

There are many differences and similarities between the book Taking Sides, and the movie McFarland U.S. Starting off, a difference I would like to point out is the sport and the team they had. For example, “Taking Sides” revolved around a basketball team with a harsh coach who didn’t like Lincoln. Next example, McFarland created a cross-country team with a demanding but hopeful coach.

Mackie likewise rejects the quarrel for the reason that if it would be right then God cannot be kind or understanding, merits used to demarcate exclusively good.

Those who were unbelievers, God set a seal upon their hearts and ears, and dimmed their vision, leading to grievous woeful life. God took their sick hearts and makes them sicker, punishing them for their disbelief. This did appear to be contradictory, as Muslims and the Qur’an heavily emphasized God’s compassion and mercy. In this case, God was not showing mercy to the disbelievers, contradicting the Qur’an’s initial statements about their belief of who God was.

Many of the choices we make, using our free will, lead to suffering. We participate in risky behavior, without thinking of the consequences. For example, people that smoke have greater chances of developing health problem (e.g., cancer), which results in pain and suffering. This type of suffering is caused by our errors and mistakes. Many of the choice we make have consequences, but is it is impossible to live in a way in which we do not take risks. Furthermore, God's existence comes from intellect and not the sense, but suffering is felt through through our senses, whether it be external or internal pain. Suffering is adventitious and not

“A Good Man Is Hard to Find” is an amusing story. The language is easy to read and it is straightforward. There are some parts that are relatable. For example, Bailey’s mother never listening to him. Many mothers do this, granted most don’t cause their entire family to be murdered, but the overall concept is a common theme with moms. The grandmother finds something to dislike in nearly everything that happens. This also is relatable because most women can find some type of problem in anything they do. Another reoccurring aspect in the story is the concept of being a lady. The grandmother believes that is what she is, even though it is clear she isn’t. The moral of this short story is summed up to not let your mother control your actions.

One of the hardest questions to answer is “Why does God allow people to suffer? Christians believe that even though there is much suffering in the world, there is even more goodness.”. C.S. Lewis once said the “problem of pain,” is atheism’s best argument against Christianity. These findings are so potent that the Bible even states: “The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God” (Psalm 14:1). The majority of atheists, excluding any proper evidence, “must resort finally to philosophical objections”.

owe to prove his thesis about the problems of evil and atheism, Rowe asks three fundamental questions. The first question, “is there an argument for atheism based on the problem of evil that could rationally justify atheism?” Supporting his question, Rowe by uses the idea of human and animal suffering.is it reasonable for omnipotent, omniscient being(s) to permits its creation to suffer by extinguish each other for their own personal benefits. If there is such a thing as an omnibenevolent, omnipotent holy being how come the ultimate and unescapable suffering is this world has no vanish. How good is a god(s) that permits humanity to suffer greatly? In religious Christian Bible study, Jesus, many times referred to as god, vanish evil from

This essay looks to discuss a possible counter argument to Graham’s claim that those who suffer from mental disorders are worse off. The counter argument holds that some sufferers of mental disorder are actually better off due to their disorder. The essay begins by explain why Graham believes mental disorders make us worse off. After this the essay presents the possible counter argument, that mental disorders make us better off. The essay then finds that Graham partially agrees with the counter argument, as mental disorders benefit us in certain situations, but that still make us worse off in the long run.

Countertransference happens when a specialist exchanges feelings and sentiments toward the group members in references of their own unresolved disputes. When a therapist has the feeling of anger towards the client, and allows the client to irritate them. There are many unresolved issues that could surface from the therapist, dealing with cultural values, conflicts and having control of the group (Gladding, 2012). It is vital for a therapist to know their own particular countertransference’s before interacting with clients.

The problem of evil (the problem of suffering) is an argument against the existence of God

Does the problem of evil pose a challenge for theists and the existence of God? The problem of evil argues that there is so much suffering in the world that an all-good and all powerful God would not allow such suffering to exist. Therefore, a God with those characteristics does not exist. Unless the suffering is necessary for an adequate reason. Some people argue that suffering is necessary for there to be good and for us to able to understand what good is. In this paper, I will argue that suffering does not need to exist in order for good to exist, because the existence of good does not depend on suffering. I will then argue that good and suffering are not logical opposites. Finally, I will conclude that since evil is not justified, then the God that we defined does not exist.

Throughout history, humans have displayed beliefs in the existence of some sort of higher being. The existence of God gives an explanation of why the world is the way it is and is a reassurance for life after death. However, even believers of a deity find themselves questioning their own god, asking themselves, “If there is so much suffering in the world, how can God exist?” and this is understandable. Suffering is defined as the state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship. Theorists have attempted to answer this question, some arguing for the existence of God and some arguing against it, but there’s no real way to answer this question. After all, there’s no definite proof of God’s existence in the world. Two dominant arguments for the existence of

While reading the first three paragraphs of the excerpt of the “Bits and Pieces”, I initially could not grasp the concept of how something good could develop from a bad event. Nevertheless, I believe, that just as the principle of the transformation of energy is a foundation of life, so is the paradox of struggle. For example, a mother may lose a child to a disease, and use that loss as a catalyst to start a foundation to raise money and awareness for the disease. By doing so, the mother saves the lives of many children around the world and protects other mothers from the pain of burying a child. Furthermore, this paradox is even seen in religion. Within the catholic faith it is taught that Christ had to undergo the unimaginable suffering

Many people would like to believe that God has a good reason for making them suffer, but Kushner argues that such a theology doesn't reconcile the goodness of God with the existence of evil. Lastly, some people try to explain suffering by believing that it comes to liberate humans from a world of pain and lead them to a better place. "Sometimes in our reluctance to admit that there is unfairness in the world, we try to persuade ourselves that what has happened is not really bad. We only think it is" (p. 27). In the end, this explanation attempts to work by denying the existence of evil altogether. Kushner finds these responses to suffering unsatisfying, because they assume that God is the cause of human suffering and they attempt to comprehend why God would want humans to suffer. The reasoning behind these justifications of suffering is that it is punishment deserved, it is for one's own good, or God does not care about what happens to people. Kushner recognizes that these rationales can cause people to blame themselves, can lead to a denial of reality, or cause the repression of one's feelings. Because of this, Kushner attempts to create his own reasoning for why bad things happen to good people.
