The topic: Is the Existence of Evil and an Omnibenevolent God Compatible?
The motion: This house believes that the existence of evil is not compatible with the existence of an Omnibenevolent (all-good), Omnipotent (all-powerful) God.
Details: An age old religious argument, so it feels right for this to be the starter. With strong points on both sides, there has never been one real clear answer. Due to the nature of the debate and the opponents of the motion having several counters, I will not be giving brief views of either side.
Stipulations:
Debate primarily centers around the Judeo-Christian God. Other Deities can be discussed, however, so long as they fit within the parameter of Omnibenevolent and Omnipotent.
Evil does not necessarily exist and is subject for debate should the argument be made. Unless challenged, the debate will assume that evil does exist.
Should one side be universally represented, I will take the opposing side (which I will quite enjoy for this one ).
Stay civil and good debating!
