No no no. God is morally obligated to do the good. Creating a world with evil is not "the good". Even a 2 year old can see that, right?
Aaron is insistent upon constantly repeating the assertion that God created a world with evil. This is simply incorrect. The following scripture shows what God saw after He created everything:
Genesis 1:31
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Well gee, would you look at that? God saw ALL that he had made and it was VERY GOOD. So, let's break this down so Aaron and people like him who show startling ignorance in logic and basic Christian theology found in the first chapter of the bible. The creation of the world is described in Genesis 1. Not only did God call ALL that He created good after He created it(Gen 1:31), but even during the creation process itself, He called it good. So, it can easily be summed up as the following.
God saw All that He created was very good.
God created the earth.
Therefore the earth was very good when God created it.
So it looks like I've proved Aarons statement to be demonstratively false, along with all of his other statements found in his video. How will Aaron respond? no doubt how hes been responding, with baseless assertions and inaccurate accusations trying to hide his inability to refute the any of the points I've brought up.

Ok.
"Genesis 1:31
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day."
All fine and good, and not really addressing my point.
The question is this: Why is there evil in the world and were did it come from?
I am not curious what you think about my knowledge or logic skills, just were evil came from and why it is here.
Thanks,
Aaron

Demonstratively incorrect. It was your point. Your own quote which is contained in my blog post makes it 100% clear that was your point. You're moving the goalposts.

This was neither your original question nor your original point nor was it ever contained in your ridiculous re vamp of the POE, which I am STILL waiting on a response.
Evil came from man using his free will, which happened AFTER God created everything ALL good. Purpose? there are many different purposes for evil and many different reasons why it is here.
Theo your tactics don't disappoint. Read my last two blogs... if god created a world with the potential for evil, a created a world with evil in it.
But really, thank you for not letting me down with your wonderfully witty and insightful commentary,
Aaron
You say-
"Demonstratively incorrect. It was your point. Your own quote which is contained in my blog post makes it 100% clear that was your point. You're moving the goalposts."
No you are changing the goalposts. A world with free will, at least according to christians, is a world that contains evil. I am not saying god made the evil, I am saying he made a flawed world with the capacity and actuality of evil.
Nothing about your genesis quote changes that.
BTW I love blog rules, they made me lul. I am considering making a blog entry that demonstrates how you brake almost every rule on that, and regularly.
You really are my favorite piece of low hanging fruit =)
I almost forgot, but in response to this:
"Evil came from man using his free will, which happened AFTER God created everything ALL good. Purpose? there are many different purposes for evil and many different reasons why it is here."
So man, with "his" freewill brings about parasites, disease and natural disasters? Your saying god didn't create all these things? God did not create lions with sharp claws, crocodiles with teeth meant to maim, and snakes with poisonous blood?
But I guess because Genesis say's it was "all good" all those things are not bad.
Moron.
