Or better yet....do you believe that your God is not an Omnimax God? You do understand the actual meaning of the words above?
What say you about this......(Not my words and not necessarily all of my thoughts)...but certainly thought provoking.

My question was...why is there evil?

Okay, fine, my response is "I don't know", but I'll tell you this, any attempt to determine anything about the existance of God from that line of reasoning is doomed to failure.
But come on, let's call a spade a spade. You honestly want me to beleive that you just wanted to know why there was evil, or was what you really meant "How can you justify the existance of god based on this arguement and the existance of evil".
Because if that wasn't your intent, then it would seem to me you're going in circles. You know evil exists, and you believe God does not exist, yet you want to know why it is that evil exists based on the premis that God doe exist.
Which way is it? Are you questioning the existance of God, or are yo uaccepting this as true and using it as a premise to question reason for the existance of evil?
