“To answer this, we will have to set aside his atheistic worldview.”
That’s kind of intrinsic in the question, Bananaman. in your worldview, God knew this was happening and did…squat.
“He doesn't believe that this was evil, because we are all just random animals that came about by accident, and there’s therefore no ultimate right or wrong.”
This is about your worldview, Rayray, not your dishonest pose of what atheists think.
“This was merely typical of what happens thousands of times each day in the animal kingdom--the stronger of the species survives.”
Wrong.
“Let’s instead adopt the Christian worldview and believe that this was indeed evil. The atheist’s point then, is that if God is good and this was evil, He should have intervened with perhaps a bolt of lightning and killed the murderers before the murder took place.”
Or some miracle, not necessarily lethal.
“While we are telling God what He should do,”
Now, now, we’re asking why God let that horrible murder proceed. i guess you don’t have an answer, so you make up a different question, and reply to THAT strawman.
“So it looks like if we get God to do something about evil, there’s going to be a lot of killing.”
Again, Ray, YOU are the one who introduced murder into this. We just asked why God let that man die.
“Actually, that’s His ultimate plan. He has set aside a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness. That will be a day of swift eternal justice that is going to be so thorough, the Bible warns it will also include all liars, thieves, adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals, and even every idle word we have spoken.”
So, SOME DAY he’ll punish evildoers? Why didn’t he stop them, though?
“So be patient. Ultimate justice is coming. That’s why we need a Savior.”
Oh, goody. Justice delayed. So the murderers can have time to commit other murders.
And of course, you completely ducked answering the actual question you fucking con man.
