Can you explain, in simple terms, one or two 'educated' arguments as to why god cannot reduce evil? Since it's a silly question in the first place, it should be easy for you? And try to develop your point beyond 'But it does include a lot of stuff and some of these suggest possible reasons why God does nothing.'
I've already said free will has a big part of it. then you have passages that say he does not reveal or interfere to show are true nature. Others belief it's all part of God vs Satan "war"
They are not mutually exclusive. I can quite easily state I think it's a fairy tale, but t the same time read it and come to conclusion from the perspective of if I was religious and I took the bible as scripture this is how I would interpret it.Good luck getting people to believe the extracts you draw from the Bible, when you have already debunked the Bible in the first place. Or will the bits you choose to use curiously become trustworthy and useful?
You debunk the Bible, and then say that it's got loads of great reasons as to why god does nothing to stop evil.
There's nothing stopping you reading the bible scanning the web for differing interpretations and answering you own question. There is absolutely no reason why it needs to be from a Christian and if you ask a Christian it will only represent their point of view.
