So god made everything? ORLY. Then he made evil too!

[Blood Thirsty Turtle]

Alot of religious people have told me that the bible was written by holy men. Now that i think about it, how do they know that "god" actually made the universe? Its not like they were their to watch him make it. And i really doubt some sky fairy would tell a bunch of old guys " write a book about me, i'll tell you exactly what to write".

Well my Christian friends tell me that its all part of his "master plan"...  

[Lethkhar]

Because God told them...On top of a mountain...While no one was around... xd

master plan my a**

If god was so perfect as nearly everyone believes him to be, than he could easily achieve his master plan without allowing all this evil and hate to exists.

But maybe his master plan includes evil...
Oh wait, maybe we shouldn't worship him then...

heh, yea, probably.

The term 'Master Plan' is considered a religious scape goat.
It is used when people bring this up so they can say
" Well he has something special planned up that we don't know about and you don't know about either. "
It's like going into an agnostic debate in war, saying that since no one knows it, anything is possible.

What's interesting is that many people seem to think the devil is the source of evil, while if they actually knew anything about their own religion they'd know he was apparently put in hell to be punished, not to rule over it and tempt men. ;3

And if God put the Devil into hell to punish, that means that God CREATED (or rather, conjure up) hell. That means God was thinking evilly about creating a place to make people suffer. Now, why would an omni-benevolent God want anyone to suffer?

Oh wait I can answer that. 'Cause he's NOT omni-benevolent!

Then why the hell do we call him God? xd

Despite my lack of needing duality in my life, I'll admit god is more malevolent then benevolent in the first place for creating Hell. What kind of moral compass would an omnipotent god actually need? Seems very illogical to me.
