See post 443 regarding the “solution” to the problem of evil. The solution is that the Mormon god is a created being, not eternal, not the creator of heavens and earth but only of a particular earth . . . a god of wood and stone, made not maker except in the same sense that we can make a table. “In the beginning” to the Mormon doesn’t mean “the beginning” as in “the beginning” but sort of the beginning in the sense of “before people.” Since the Mormon god did not create the universe(s) he did not create evil, evil just is. It’s a wierd form of atheism . . . the universe(s) are eternal, they create the gods, not the other way around. The Hindu’s are polytheists but believe that Brahman is eternal and is all things. So they explain creation in a sense with an eternal / all things god. Mormons are polytheists but don’t really seem to believe in a God at all, but rather really powerful men who they call god. Solves the “problem” of evil? I think it avoids the issue entirely by avoiding God entirely. Athiests have no problem “explaining” evil. It just is . . .
Greg F, why lie?
The Mormon God is “eternal” (http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/bicycleroad/21/id75.htm )
The Mormon God created the heavens and the earth (http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/bicycleroad/21/id77.htm )
The Mormon God is a God of the entire universe, not just of this single planet (http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/bicycleroad/21/id77.htm )
Now I know just what kind of person you are. Thanks for enlightening me. I’ll remember you and your dishonesty.
