is evil?
[12:15] zapp (herman@hez.ffl.min.dk) joined #apologetics.
[12:15]  Let's begin by defining the source 
of everything.
[12:15]  II fine
[12:15]  God Created the world
[12:15]  agreed
[12:15]  He was here before everything
[12:15]  agreed
[12:15]  He is the soverign on heaven and 
earth
[12:15]  agreed
[12:16]  God has given man free choice
[12:16]  This makes him a just God
[12:16]  agreed for now
[12:16]  God has created man and angels
[12:16]  mmmm
[12:16]  There is another creation which is 
mentioned in the Qur'an
[12:16]  II how does this account for Evil inthe 
world?
[12:16]  II...ok...so..how does this answer 
my question
[12:16]  It is called Jinn
[12:16]  wait
[12:16]  ok
[12:17]  Jinn are made from fire, Angels from 
light, men from clay
[12:17]  Jinn is close to what you call demons 
or spirits
[12:17]  The Devil or Satan is what we call 
Iblis
[12:18]  You guys are fired up, I love this!
[12:18]  Better than the rest of the filth 
that is on the internet!
[12:18]  II fine, how does thia ccount for evil 
int he world is God is omnibenevolent?
[12:19]  Acolyte..please no scripture...Its 
hard to follow
[12:19]  You should listen to my radio show, 
1080 AM
[12:19]  you have a radio show?
[12:19]  I'll get back on track
[12:19]  internet radio?
[12:19]  Yes I do.
[12:19]  we are putting one up as well
[12:19]  No not yet but I'm working on it
[12:19]  dito
[12:19]  I'm still investigating how to do 
it.
[12:19]  how does the existence of other beings 
acount for evil inthe world?
[12:19]  anyways
[12:19]  how does the existence of other beings 
acount for evil inthe world?
[12:20]  continuing...
[12:20] Action: Acolyte watches
[12:20] Action: Acolyte watches with egear anticipation
[12:20]  When God told the Angels to bow down 
to man all did save Iblis (devil) for he was a Jinn 
and was amongst the angels
[12:20] Action: NedFlndrs is waiting for an answer
[12:20]  We know that angels can only obey 
God.  
[12:20]  That is their purpose.
[12:20]  finwe
[12:20]  But man and Jinn have free choice.
[12:21]  fine, so?
[12:21]  ok...so...?
[12:21]  Iblis said why should I bow down 
to man when he is from clay and I am from Fire
[12:21]  why did God allow evil in the world 
if he is omnibenevolent?
[12:21]  So God cursed him.
[12:21]  God was going to punish him but Satan 
begged for respite
[12:21]  ]God granted him
[12:21]  fine, so what? why did God allow evil 
in the world if he is omnibenevolent?
[12:22]  Then Satan said, I will show you 
how good man is.
[12:22]  fine, so what? why did God allow evil 
in the world if he is omnibenevolent?
[12:22]  I will mislead him
[12:22]  God said, you will only have power 
over those who listen to you're whispering
[12:22]  God has given us clear guidance
[12:22]  but he has left the choice up to 
us
[12:22]  II....I think you missed my point....I 
didnt ask how it came to be...but why?
[12:22]  fine, how does that explain why there 
is evil in the world? Why did God create beings who 
would do evil in the first place?
[12:22]  If we choose to receive the guidance
[12:23]  fine, how does that explain why there 
is evil in the world? Why did God create beings who 
would do evil in the first place?
[12:23]  Good question
[12:23]  I know
[12:23]  lol
[12:23]  The angels asked Allah that in the 
Qur'an
[12:23]  I need a good answer
[12:23]  i know you know
[12:23]  His answer:
[12:23]  was?
[12:23]  I am the hearer and knower of all 
things.
[12:23]  I know what you know not
[12:23]  obviously
[12:23]  so?
[12:23]  why evil tho?
[12:24]  You might as well ask then if this 
isn't good enough, why God created anything at all.
[12:24]  EXACTLY!
[12:24]  why?
[12:24]  Why what?
[12:24]  II....I think you missed my point....I 
didnt ask how it came to be...but why?...not what God 
has said...I am lookin for an explanation for its existance...and 
its purpose
[12:24]  WHY did God create anythign at all?
[12:25]  OK, then let me answer the questioner, 
not the gallery.
[12:25]  lol
[12:25]  lol
[12:25]  WHY did God create anythign at all?
[12:26]  I don't know.  Either I am still 
to learn of this, or it isn't meant for man to know 
at this time?
[12:26]   I don't know.???????????
[12:26]  I can still answer your first question 
though
[12:26]  oh my

[12:36]  we dont have the right to take someone 
life
[12:36]  who says so?
[12:36]  the law maker sez
[12:36]  so what...
[12:36]  thats just the law makers...
[12:37]  if they made a law that said it was 
ok...would it be OK?
[12:37]  the big law maker
[12:37]  why should you have the right to take 
someones life, its not yours to begin with
[12:37]  in the sky
[12:37]  : )
[12:37]  zapp..that doesnt answer the question
[12:37]  yes it does ned
[12:37]  sorry i'll shuddup
[12:37]  why is murder evil?
[12:37]  because some law guy said so?
[12:37]  because you dont have a right to do that
[12:38]  why not...who says?
[12:38]  where do rights come from?
[12:38]  why should you that?
[12:38]  why not?
[12:38]  zapp..Im tryin to make a point here
[12:38]  evil = a choice
[12:39]  what is evil...and who says what 
IS evil?
[12:39]  every individual can judge for themselves
[12:39]  what makes something evil?
[12:39]  answer those 3 questions
[12:39]  zapp...oh my
[12:40]  evil = not objective, if that is what 
you want to prove
[12:40]   every individual can judge for 
themselves.......<--------- so in my view to kill a 
babie for fun is ok....so now its moral to do so.?
[12:40]  yes ned
[12:40]  whoah
[12:40] Action: zapp smiles
[12:41] Action: NedFlndrs passes out
[12:41] Action: zapp gives ned a chair
[12:41]  after that I need one...
[12:41]  is all subjective and nmothing objective?
[12:41] Action: zapp gives ned another chair
[12:41]  hehehe
[12:42]  xpres: be more specific
[12:42]  so what you are saying is that evil/pain...is 
what each person makes it?...then why do we care about 
murder??...should it not be survival of the fittest?
[12:42]  morality.. sub or ob jective?
[12:43]  who is to judge who is the fittest?
[12:43]  zapp..the fittest
[12:43] Action: zapp smiles
[12:43]  the one who survives according to 
you
[12:43]  the one who survives is probably the one 
with morals :)
[12:43]  might makes right?
[12:44]  no xpres
[12:44]  if morality is subjective...then 
you may not say what is or is not evil...because in 
doing so...you have placed your value upon someone 
else
[12:44]  yes ned
[12:44]  relatavism renders morality meaningless
[12:44]  as well as truth
[12:44]  morality = social behaviour
[12:45]  zapp...do you know logic?
[12:45] Action: zapp knows logic
[12:45]  formal logic?
[12:45]  do you believe in Logic?
[12:45] Action: zapp knows Turing-machines
[12:45] Action: Xpressor want to know logic... 
[12:45]  in a limited sense yeah
[12:46]  go 4 it ned we'll try to hang!
[12:46]  zapp...why...Logic is unchaingable...and 
is objective...kinda throws a wrench in your system
[12:46]  why ned
[12:47]  zapp...do you believe that a God 
exists?
[12:47]  depends on definition of god
[12:47]  a being that is creator of the universe..as 
a basic start
[12:48] Action: zapp doesnt believe in a being in the 
biological sense
[12:48]  zapp...what would you define as God?
[12:48]  this matters to the logic issue
[12:48] Action: zapp defines god as the Unknowable
[12:49]  zapp...how do you know that the unknowable 
is unknown?
[12:49] Action: zapp doesnt know the unknowable
[12:49]  lol
[12:49]  lol
[12:49]  how did you come to that belief?
[12:50]  by study and reflection
[12:50]  by what axioms?
[12:50]  how so?
[12:50]  no axioms
[12:50]  no axioms?
[12:50]  hhmmm
[12:50]  not intentionally anyway
[12:51]  ok...by what method did you come 
to believe that God is unknowable?...by what reasoning?
[12:51] Action: zapp found out that there is the unknown
[12:51]  thats is a self-refuting belief..."I 
know for sure that I am UNsure"..??
[12:52] Action: zapp not unsure about this issue
[12:52]  lol
[12:52]  lol
[12:52] Action: NedFlndrs likes zapp
[12:52]  you try nice ned
[12:52]  well...thats my point.....
[12:52]  ok
[12:53]  what do you think about evil
[12:53]  see...to make a claim about what 
is Known or unknown....we use logic....
[12:53]  unknown = undecidable
[12:54]  and to use logic....you would have 
to base all the conclussions from your reasoning in 
the trust of logic...so the question then becomes...how 
do you justify logic without a logic maker(God)
[12:54]  if logic is man made....
[12:55]  then I may make an logic I like...
[12:55] Action: zapp likes neds point

#apologetics.
[12:55]  But logic is undeniable and unchangeable.......
[12:55]  logic = hypothesis
[12:55]  therfore....we havent a choice of 
its use...
[12:55]  Logic; The science that investigates 
the principles governing correct or reliable inference......
[12:55]  the system or principles of reasoning 
applicable to any branch of knowledge or study......
[12:55]  a particular method of reasoning 
or argumentation.
[12:55]  Logic is the study of right reason 
or valid inferences and the attending fallacies, formal 
and informal......Not everything is subject to logic, 
Only truth claims are subject to logic. Logic is descpriptive, 
not prescriptive. I

n other words....
[12:55]  Logic states the way we reason correctly.
[12:55]  There are four laws of logic, these 
laws are undeniable, to refute logic, you would have 
to USE logic.
[12:55]  1st Law, The law of non-contradiction, 
A is not non A.
[12:55]  No Two contradictory statements can 
be true at the same time and in the same sense.
[12:55]  2nd Law, The law of Identity, A is 
A. This law states that something is itself.
[12:56]  3rd Law, The law of excluded middle, 
either A or non A. This law excludes any middle alternative 
between alternatives.
[12:56]  4th Law, The law of Rational inference, 
A=B, B=C, C=A. This law allows inferences to be reached 
from a series of premises to a conclusion.
[12:56]  thats what I mean by Logic
[12:56]  ok ned
[12:56]  anyways....
[12:56]  evil?
[12:56]  what about it
[12:56]  :)
[12:56]  by your defenition.....
[12:56]  why do we have evil?
[12:56] Action: NedFlndrs is evil and good at the same 
time
[12:57]  NedFlndrs> No Two contradictory statements 
can be true at the   same time and in the same sense.
[12:57] Action: zapp agrees (boring)
[12:57]  which brakes the 1st law
[12:57]  lol ned
[12:57]  
[12:58]  well zapp...I dont mean to bor you...please 
livin the party up
[12:58] buff1 (angelfir@30-172.client.gnn.com) left 
#apologetics.
[12:58]  will you rephrase the question ned?
[12:58]  can one kill a *real* bad person?
[12:58]  which question?
[12:59]  zapp...please explain
[12:59]  id like to see where yer goin with 
this
[12:59]  X...with which one
[12:59]  is it morally to kill a professional dangerous 
psychopath?
[12:59]  what about evil
[12:59]  zapp...not if you have an OBjective 
standard
[13:00]  no ned, but we dont per definition
[13:00]  how so?
[13:00]  how so what?
[13:00]  lol
[13:00]  lol
[13:00]  ok...lets start over
[13:00]  ok
[13:01]  what I am saying is that to put a 
person to death for a wrong....is dependandt upon many 
factors...
[13:01]  oh ok the ob,sub, jectivity is the 
premise to be established
[13:01]  what factors?
[13:02]  so...if we are relativists....and 
all morality is subjective...then how could you justify 
death of another person?
[13:02]  you couldnt
[13:02]  no you cant, but we still do
[13:02]  right...
[13:02]  explain ..
[13:03]  exactly...because there is a standard 
that Objective...and why is that?
[13:03]  why do we know that Murder is wrong?
[13:03]  what is that objective standard?
[13:04]  zapp...the standard is that humans 
have value...who gives us that value?...we do?
[13:04]  nope.
[13:04]  we are and therefore we have value
[13:05]  we are and therefore we have value????....C 
mon....cockroaches exist...do they have value as a 
human?
[13:05]  cockroaches are not human
[13:05]  so...why are we so diferent?
[13:05]  look at what you said
[13:05]   we are and therefore we have value)
[13:05]  from cockroaches?
[13:05]  yes...what makes humans so special?
[13:06]  what is wrong with the statement?
[13:06]  its a poor justification for value.
[13:06]  cockroaches have a diffrent # of chromosomes 
from humans
[13:06]  mere existance does not explain why 
we have value
[13:06]  zap....so what
[13:06]  so a diferent DNA makes us special?
[13:07]  thats gives us value?
[13:07]  moraly?
[13:07]  we are all humans, we cant judge objectively 
what is good or bad and therefore we all have value 
or not
[13:07]  zapp...look at what you just said 
bro
[13:07]   we all have value or not??
[13:07] Action: zapp likes his dna
[13:08] Topic changed by ApoloBot!bibleman@serss0.FIU.EDU: 
The Home of Rational Theism
[13:08]  explain that to me
[13:08]   we all have value or not??
[13:08]  explain what?
[13:08]   we all have value or not??
[13:08]  aaaahhhhhhh  shaddup apolobot
[13:08]  lol
[13:08]  zapp...so you base value upon a biological 
diference?
[13:08] Action: zapp thinks we all have value but if 
you want to believe we have not that is allright :)
[13:09]  biologival differences are reasonably 
objective
[13:09]  zapp...I am sayin we do have value...thats 
not the issue...the issue is WHY do we have value
[13:09]  because we are all the same more or less
[13:09]  why are humans so special that we 
cant randomly kill them at will
[13:09]  zapp...so what
[13:10]  we cant kill animals/plants either at 
will
[13:10]  zapp...that is not how the other 
species operate
[13:10]  zapp...why not
[13:10]  why shouldnt we
[13:10]  it is exactly how the other species operate
[13:10]  zapp...they kill thier won kind alot....
[13:11]  won=own
[13:11]  but they dont exterminate
[13:11]  yes they do...
[13:11]  I just sa a dcumentary on it
[13:11]  intentionally they dont
[13:12]  well..thats still doesnt explain 
WHY we have a moral duty...and where it comes from
[13:12]  we have a moral duty? tell me more
[13:12]  zapp...are you saying we are just 
chemicals>??...matter in motion?
[13:12] Action: zapp likes matter in motion :)
[13:12]  zapp...why should we defend the inocent?
[13:13]  who is innocent?
[13:13]  zapp...if we are just matter in motion...with 
no trancendental value...who cares
[13:13]  yeah ned it sucks doesnt it?
[13:13]  zapp...people who are killed for 
fun....would they not be inocent?
[13:14]  who is killed for fun?
[13:14]  ohh man
[13:14]  kewl
