Yeah I'm not even Indian I just made this thread cause its funny larping as one

Answer I gave to a Catholic who said that God does not create evil:

"God does not create evil."


Isaiah 45:7
7I form the light and create darkness,
I bring peace (well, shalom) and bring disaster (evil, rah in Hebrew);
I, the Lord, do all these things.

"Ahh, but I'm Catholic, the Bible for me is just an accessory that I use when convenient."

Then throw that book away altogether and openly embrace Plato and Aristotle. Because always needing to resort to both to defend religion in the face of biblical madness is laughable.
"What is absurd in the Bible I say is metaphor or that it needs to go through exegesis."
Then it's easy...just accept what is convenient.

And even then it would be a problem, because Thomas Aquinas himself, whom you love to quote but don't actually read, said that proving an Aristotelian First Cause or Platonic Supreme Good (an abstraction that would give existence to reality by sustaining it) would NOT PROVE CHRISTIANITY AT ALL.

Aquinas himself says this. That Christianity will always be a matter of pure faith, because its philosophy can in no way justify Christianity, only serving to say that there was a "first flick" that gave rise to the universe.

This is what I like about Protestants. They read the Bible, see that it's all madness, that it's full of absurdities—from incest to God ordering the killing of babies and splitting pregnant women in half, from a flying Jew sitting on clouds to a talking donkey—but they say, "Okay, my religion is madness, and that's just the way it is, and I'll follow it anyway!"

Now Catholics are ashamed of their own holy book.
