罪恶
Evil.
现在 据说"罪恶"是无神论者攻击基♥督♥教信仰
Now, it's been said that evil is atheism's
最有力的武器
most potent weapon
不过 确实也是如此
against the Christian faith, and it is.
毕竟 存在罪恶牵引出了另一个问题
After all, the very existence of evil begs the question,
如果上帝是全善 上帝是全能的
"lf God is all-good and God is all-powerful,
怎么会允许罪恶存在
why does he allow evil to exist?. "
在其核心的答案是非常简单的"自♥由♥意志"
The answer at its core is remarkably simple: free will.
上帝允许罪恶产生 是因为"自♥由♥意志"
God allows evil to exist because of free will.
从基♥督♥教的角度来看 神容忍♥罪恶在这个世界上
From the Christian standpoint, God tolerates evil in this world
是暂时的 有这样一天
on a temporary basis so that one day,
那些真正选择爱他的
those who choose to love him freely
将与他一同住在天堂 摆脱罪恶的轧制
will dwell with him in heaven, free from the influence of evil,
从而具有良性的自♥由♥意志
but with their free will in tact.
换句话说 上帝对罪恶的态度
In other words, God's intention concerning evil
就是有一天摧毁它
is to one day destroy it.
真好 太方便了
Well, how convenient.
"有一天 我将摆脱在世界上所有的罪恶
"One day, I will get rid of all the evil in the world.

"and Holocausts, tsunamis, poverty, starvation, and AlDS.
美好的生活
Have a nice life."
