Cathy or Kate in my eyes is a monster. Right from birth Cathy chooses

Because he does not know any better about his actions and the effect they may have on himself and others around him‚ an ignorant man will continue to do evil. Concordantly‚ a knowledgeable man is a courageous man

The argument from evil In this paper I am going to use the very popular argument from evil‚ which was made popular and originated from the Greek philosopher Epicurus‚ to argue that existence of god is highly improbable. I’ll put this argument in the simplest of terms. For my first premise I am stating that if an omnipotent‚ omniscient‚ and omnibenevolent god exists than evil does not exist.
