PROMPT 1: "If an all knowing, all caring God made us in his image then why do so many people turn to pure evil? If we are in his image then does that mean that God is evil Too? Since God created everything including that which is evil or will turn to evil then God is the origin of evil. Why would a perfect God create people to have such an easy and too often turn to absolute evil. The seeds of evil would not be something a perfect God would unleash on his innocent creations."

PROMPT 2: “There are far too many bad and evil people for there to be a good God.”

PROMPT 3: “If God is truly all-knowing and all-good, why would He create people capable of such evil? History is filled with tyrants, child predators, psychopaths, and mass murderers like Hitler. Either God deliberately created these people knowing the devastation they’d cause, or He is powerless to stop them. In either case, the existence of so much human evil seems incompatible with an all-good, all-powerful God.”

PROMPT 4:There are far too many bad, immoral and sometimes frankly evil people for there to be God that knows what he's doing.

PROMPT 5: “If God is omniscient, He knew Lucifer would rebel before He created him. If God is omnipotent, He could have prevented Lucifer’s existence. If God is benevolent, He would want to prevent billions of souls from being deceived and destroyed. Yet God created Lucifer anyway. Either God wanted evil to exist or He is powerless to stop it — both are incompatible with a good, all-powerful God.”

PROMPT 6: "Every Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and serial killer only existed because God supposedly knit them together in the womb. If He truly forms every person, then He formed genocidal maniacs too. Why would a good God create beings destined to commit atrocities?”

PROMPT 7: "If God wanted to create free beings, couldn’t He at least calibrate us toward kindness rather than cruelty? Why is evil not the exception but the rule of human history?”
