surviving are obsolete. This is often considered
to be morally correct. This because the patient or
immediate families decide whether life is worth
the pain and agony. However, this act of
withstanding from medical amenities is quite often
more painful than living...

Omnipotent Benevolent God Made To Be Perfect Evil

that an omnipotent, benevolent God would prevent
evil from existing. The second premise then states
that evil does indeed exist. We are therefore to
conclude that an omnipotent, benevolent God does
not exist. The argument aims to show that God
couldn't possibly exist because there is just too
much evil in the world. Evil which God could have
control over if he so desired. The idea of
freewill now comes to mind. It is possible that
