rejection in the belief in God
Christians believe that God is omnibenevolent therefore he should not have create a world where there is natural evil such as earthquakes, further conveying that the world was not created by God as he should be able to do things better than humans
Christians believe that as God is omniscient and omnipotent he has the power to stop evil suffering caused by humans even before it happens such as the Holocaust, further conveying that God's existence could be questioning
Christians beliefs
God should be able to remove evil and suffering
omnipotent
omniscient
omnibenevolent
there is still evil and suffering therefore God may not be all-knowing or all-loving or God does NOT exist
some people prefer to believe in the Big Bang causing the world to be formed by accident as they question God' existence
