Blog # 6

In post 5 I claimed that God does not allow for evil things to happen to good people, it just exists. A counter argument is that some people think that If there `is an all knowing God then how could he allow for things to happen to good people. I think it is a resonable argument because I can understand that someone who is hurting because they lost someone or has had bad things happen to them be angry with God. It is easier to blame a higher being than to except that there are just evil people and bad things that happen to people who don't deserve it.

Blog # 5 The question

The big question that I keep on seeing with different websites is can evil exist without good? I am going to take the side of evil just exists. Its not because God allows things to happen to good people, it just does. The most convencing argument is in the book problems from philosophy with the story of Job. Job was a very righteous man that did not deserve to loose his family, wealth and also his health but he did and not one time did he denouce God. Sometimes bad things happen to good people and there arent any explanations.
