Being All-powerful and All-knowing, He has power, and had always power,
to create any kind of world He chose. Being a God of Love, He would not
choose to create a world in which hate and pain should have a place.

But there is evil in the world. There has been always evil in the
world. Why did a good and loving God allow evil to enter the world?
Being All-Powerful and All-knowing, He could have excluded evil.
Being good, He would hate evil. Being a God of Love He would wish
to exclude evil. Why, then, did He permit evil to enter?

The world is full of sorrow, of pain, of hatred and crime, and strife
and war. All life is a perpetual deadly struggle for existence.
The law of nature is the law of prey.

If God is a tender, loving, All-knowing, and All-powerful Heavenly
Father, why did He build a world on cruel lines? Why does He permit
evil and pain to continue? Why does He not give the world peace,
and health, and happiness, and virtue?

In the New Testament Christ compares God, as Heavenly Father to Man,
to an earthly father, representing God as more benevolent and tender:
"How much more your Father which is in heaven?"

We may, then, on the authority of the Founder of Christianity, compare
the Christian Heavenly Father with the human father. And in doing
so we shall find that Christ was not justified in claiming that God
is a better father to Man than Man is to his own children. We shall
find that the poetical and pleasing theory of a Heavenly Father, and
God of Love is a delusion.
