If anyone actually cares, this is the muslim answer to how a good God can allow evil and why humanity was created with all its flaws
It's an important question and worth taking the time to watch the video
Only to the mentally ill who need cognitive dissonance to keep on keeping on
Can you expand on this? Honest question, not being rude
Religious people whose religion tells them their god is inherently good or benevolent and all-powerful (Abrahamic ones for example) feel a cognitive dissonance when they see that evil exists in the world, and thus have to discuss it with each other in order to figure out the best doublethink to maintain their religion
To those of us not trying to prop up a fundamentally self-contradictory belief system it's not an important thing to think about _at all because our beliefs don't require conflicting statements to be true
Quran 2:30 ˹Remember˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to place a successive ˹human˺ authority on earth.” They asked ˹Allah˺, “Will You place in it someone who will spread corruption there and shed blood while we glorify Your praises and proclaim Your holiness?” Allah responded, “I know what you do not know.”
No denial of evil here, I'd be curious to know your thoughts on the video I linked. Watch at least halfway
