By then you and I will hopefully be in Heaven.
In your opinion, is heaven a place?
Who gets there?
Do animals?

This is the profession of the Catholic faith, no?
You're a catholic, no?

What does that have to do with pedophiles and evil in general?
how can you honestly say God created pedophiles.

I would not like to be you, in fact I would rather be a poor guy in a hut in Africa than think like you.

This has been glaringly apparent throughout this thread.
God created ALL things seen and unseen.

God created everything. If God did not want humans to engage in any type of activity that could be considered evil he would not have given humans FREE WILL. Free will, by its very definition, enables the possessor of such to do WHATEVER THEY WANT, whether it be good or evil to themselves, their fellow man or to the world at large.
Ask yourself, do you have free will? If so, why do you choose to do good or evil? The person who does evil does so because they chose to, they had the option, given to them by God, and took the sociopathic route.

Are you saying that because if YOU did not want people to do evil, YOU would not give them free will that God would conclude the same?
Is it so hard to understand the necessity of free will?
There is a parable called "The wheat and the weeds" Go read it.
Are you saying all people who do evil are sociopaths?
Have you ever thought some people do evil because judgmental people have outcasted them and they feel they gotta do what they gotta do?
There are people on child support who will go to jail if they don't come up with the money for the state (not their family, the state)....
...what if they have a criminal record?
What if there are no jobs?
So if people are always accountable, judgmental people are the MOST to blame.
Ask yourself; do you use your intelligence to find creative ways to justify your world view?

Oh well.... enjoy your twisted views. Don't ever try to say no one took the time to try with you on judgment day .
You knew I wasn't going to respond to your deceptive post.
Deception is of Satan btw. I know you don't know that but as a decent and honest man I feel obligated to warn you.
If you would like to continue, go ahead and quote my entire post and respond to all of it. Otherwise, it is obvious you are being deceptive. Just look at the last two posts.
Either you are so hardened of heart you can not see, or you are actually a bad man. I don't know which one.

I guess that is better than a dumb dummy.

Satan uses their pride in their intelligence against them.
Spread that dangerous little bit of understanding and force others to conform...
Our brains are hard-wired different...

God created things and gave them the ability to create. That does not mean god created their creations as well.
how can you honestly say God created pedophiles. That is the most absurd thing I have ever had someone try to convince me of.
