You pretty much just restated the question but it is by far the best I have read. You need to try to say the same thing with different words. Make it your own statement.

“If Only there is No God then there is No Problem:” A Theological Reflection On the Mystery of Evil And Uniqueness of God For a theologian or an ordinary person concerned with the problem of theodicy‚ human suffering appears to be inconsistent with the notion of a God who is all-powerful and good. It is rationally inconceivable to claim belief in such a God when people are faced with senseless suffering in their day-today-life. How do we respond to the events of suffering that challenge our

300 The Problem of Evil One of the most interesting questions in the world is‚ “If a God exists‚ why is there evil in the world?” Most people respond with‚ “If God created the universe and us‚ then there should not be evil in the world‚” when asked about God or any other powerful being. The problem of evil is also believed to be the cause of Atheism‚ and I do believe that there is a solution for this. The problem of evil is not a correct argument.

If so many are failing maybe we shouldn’t

Respected headmistress‚ teachers and my dear fellow students The topic of my today’s speech is COMPETITION IS NECESSARY FOR LEARNING and I agree to this… Here are my points for the favor… Competition is what drives us forward. The feeling of competition and winning is attractive to everyone‚ and the fact is‚ that when we compete‚ we are more focused on our work‚ we achieve more‚ we excel and‚‚‚ top of all‚‚‚ we learn more!!! When we get our work ranked against others‚ we can read or see the best

Competition in not necessary for learning: (against 1) I strongly oppose the motion. Competition drives innovation. Competition improves quality. Competition increases choices. Competition spurs people to ’do their best’. Do you think that we should behave like ostriches that when they see a threat they put their heads in the sand to avoid confrontation? In my opinion‚ eliminating competition from schools is a misguided attempt at ensuring that no one’s self-esteem gets trampled

While I do understand that surveillance cameras have many practical purposes in today’s world‚ I still find the very notion of them disturbing and unnerving. It is too easy to slip over the line between necessary and invasive . That line is just too thin.
