Mormonism's shallow lake definition of theodicy is equal to Scientology's definition of science.
The Mormon god isn't evil so much as he is feeble.
If there is a god is he evil?

Re: If there is a god is he evil?
Is there any significance in the fact that a Mormon quoting Genesis 3:19 omits the end of the sentence above?mentalgymnast wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 5:06 pm[...]

Is that reference to humanity having been taken from the ground theologically awkward, or what? Is the claim that humanity came from somewhere else?19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Whoever said that isn't responsible for the existence of the universe. People who share it do so to manipulate other people, using it to enforce concepts of sin and being fallen that are simply power moves. And they are evil. When you do so, you are chosing evil over the divine.mentalgymnast wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2021 5:06 pmWhy is making these claims evil? Each one of these elements of a fallen world, as enumerated by the creator Himself, describes rather accurately the world in which we live.
