okay i have never disliked a class like i have disliked Humanities. I seriously think i hate it. Yesterday we talked about Free Will and Evil. Basically the teacher pointed out that god let evil be in the world and choose for people to suffer. And he doesn't understand. He finds something wrong with everything i believe in. And you can't just say the answer is to have faith. Because then he says faith isn't logical. Or something like that. So this was the disscussion yesterday.
These were the assumptions.
1. There is evil
2. God is all-knowing/ all-powerful
3. God is omnipresent
4. God is good
So basically all the evil in the world is getting placed on god in this class. We all agreed that there is evil. But then people were ike if god is all powerful he could get rid of evil. Also if he is all-knowing then he knows how and just choses not to. Then others say well God gave us free will. Which i agree with. But then they say why would god give free will if he knew that we were going to misuse it. Then almost everyone comes to the assumption god isn't good or all-powerful. Because he allows suffering and evil in the world. So i don't know what to say. I know what i believe... i think. But my relationship with god is based on faith. and in Humanities Faith isn't an answer to the question. And i hate it. So i don't participate. I just sit in the back and cringe at some peoples comments. I feel like i should say something. But I can't. I have no "logical" answers. Why can't faith be enough for philosophers. Why do they have to argue about things that we can not understand. We don't have to know everything. So i am sitting here trying to find a logical explaination for what i believe. But I can't do it. I woke up at 2 AM worrying about this. I hate humanities.....
