    Sorry, I think I’m not understanding your point correctly. I agree that we should try to act morally, but that isn’t related to the argument of the post.

    Very concretely: Your god created everything, including the very concept of evil. Since he is all-powerful, he must be able to create the exact same world, but without evil. We agree so far, right?

    So why isn’t the logical conclusion that he chose to create evil?

      Was the invention of electricity evil because it created the electric chair or was it good because it created home heating? God created free will, we chose to do evil with it. Being prescient he would have known what we would choose to do with it and still created us anyway, allowing both good and evil to happen. Can we agree on that part?

      Tell me how evil was his creation and not ours. Give me an example of such a thing
