GOD does permit wickedness, and millions on earth willfully make a practice of it. For instance, they declare wars, drop bombs on children, scorch the earth, and cause famines. Millions smoke and get lung cancer, practice adultery and get sexually transmitted diseases, use alcohol to excess and get cirrhosis of the liver, and so on. Such people do not truly want all wickedness stopped. They only want the penalties for it eliminated. When they reap what they have sown, they cry out, "Why me?" And they blame God, as Proverbs 19:3 says: "A man's own folly wrecks his life, and then he bears a grudge against the LORD." (The New English Bible) And if God stopped their evildoing, they would protest their loss of freedom to do it!

There is nothing supernatural about the universe.

WE are responsible for our actions. They are the only thing we truly own. That being said "God" has to have the seed of evil and wickedness in him since when the fruit was eaten Adam and Eve "became like the gods and knew good and evil"
God is NOT love. This is propaganda put forth by foolish and ignorant people that have no knowledge of theology.

Even if God exists, saying "God is love" is poetry. It's not real.
CAPS LOCK = TRUTH
I'm actually fine with the Christians' explanation of why God permits wickedness. It's the God=love equation that seems manipulative.

I definitely agree that we have caused our own situation.
