That may be, but the PP's point is valid. Many atheists I've ever talked to or who posted on here have almost no knowledge of what's in the Bible. It does seem that they're aware of many talking points you can find on web sites and such, but actual Biblical knowledge is often almost non-existent. Case in point is the OP's question. The Bible is saturated with answers to the OP's question. I get it if you don't believe, but if you had some Biblical knowledge, you'd certainly be able to grasp how [i]anyone[/i] could believe in God with evil in the world.[/quote]

I doubt you are aware of how smug and arrogant you are coming off here. Everyone reads and finds what they want in any sacred text....hence all the different sects and denominations. Just because you have read and found the answers you are seeking doesn't mean that others find the same solace.

Also, there are plenty that are not satisfied with studying one ancient document for the answers to why babies are being slaughtered while their mothers are being raped. The "sin" and "free will" explanations are easy academic cop-outs coming from the privilege of comfort. Add in the belief of Christians that the torturing will continue eternally if they aren't "saved" and there's little motivation to go after the answers. [/quote]
