Does your God exist?

You unfairly (and illogically) control the answers people are allowed to give. The last 2 questions should have more options to answer. Judaism, Christianity, & Islam teach that God allows people to commit evil or good acts as they choose, rather than control them like puppets. Deism teaches that an intelligent & moral God created the universe with built in consequences for actions & then had nothing more to do with it. Assigning answers to people that do not represent their argument, and then attacking these answers is called a "straw man" logical fallacy; you build a scarecrow & then attack it instead of attacking your opponent.

I couldn't agree more! The wording of these questions indicated the person who created this poll has a very limited world view. Clearly the intent was to show that either you beleived in his god or what you beleived in was weak and powerless.

I agree that this poll was i guess you would say, "rigged" so that you either believed in a contradictory God who both created evil and good and caused suffering in the world almost intentionally, or that your god was a weak useless god with no power, or that you were just atheist and also at the same time wasting your time taking a survey that all you answer is: athiest. If you make a poll like this again, try not to be so biased or one-sided. Thats what polls and statistics are supposed to be anyways. Research your topic first.

The "Problem of evil" is a 101 level moral problem.

God is all loving and all powerful, but humans who all have agency and nature which is essentially "neutral" are not necessarily. The justice and mercy that God gives extends far beyond this life and any injustice or or other evils befall this life.

To reply to all of you:

You claim that I should have had more options for some of the questions, yet you fail to provide suggestions. Perhaps it is because you have none? Yes, the LOGIC dilemma of the existence of an all-powerful and all loving god along with the existence of evil has been going on for many centuries, if not millennia. People usually pick sides because, as you have shown, nobody has anyway to answer this 'dilemma' to satisfy both sides. One of the first tenets of the philosophy of logic is the fallacy of the 'black and white' in which there can be only two possible answers. In this case, for centuries, there has been no third answer. Meaning: one of the two answers is most likely true, however a third and yet unknown possibility is yet to be explained.

The main thing here is whether an all-loving God can co-exist with the presence of evil. All indicators point to 'no'. God is either not all-powerful, not all loving, or evil does not exist. We can (mostly) all agree that evil exists. Anyone with a third answer is welcome to explain.
