Comments on: Can God do evil? -- Tough question... http://conversationalatheist.com/2009/06/can-god-do-evil-tough-question/ Atheists need to make more of an effort to be heard in their daily life.

God knew exactly what would happen when he supposedly gave haSatan (which means "the accuser") free will. God is all-knowing, yes? Well then he knew what this creature would do and what every single consequence of that creation would be (death, suffering, struggle, temptation, billions of people in suffering and then eternal death and torture, war, curses, disease, and even the death of his own son by crucifixion). What do you think about a God who knew the dire consequences of his actions but chose to create haSatan anyway? <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('747','godlessgirl'); return false;">Reply</a> | <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('747','godlessgirl','Claiming to know what entertains God is amusing to read. \n \nGod knew exactly what would happen when he supposedly gave haSatan (which means "the accuser") free will.

God gave him free will. And he chose to go against God. So God cursed him instead of destroying him or doing something more useful like removing free will, for example. Anyways, God would have never created a world with no evil. It'd be, to put it simply, too boring for him. <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('725','ikalcum'); return false;">Reply</a> | <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('725','ikalcum','According to Judaism, Satan is the most beautiful and powerful of all angels.
