People turn from God (sin) > Not part of God's Will > Lost > Susceptible to evil > Still capable of doing good
Option A:
Predestination > God's Will > Righteousness > Chosen People Only > God designed Good people and Bad people for some strange reason > God is the Demiurge
Option B:
Free Will > God allows people to choose good and evil > It's our own weakness that we do evil sometimes > God made us all unable to be perfect beings, but gave us a capacity to become good and pure > There is so much evil in the world, people begin to question God's Will/plan > God is mysterious and it remains hard for us to understand why great evils in the world aren't prevented > So...
Three options:
God is not powerful
God doesn't want to prevent global suffering, so God is kind of Evil.
God is mysterious! We can't possibly understand how hard/confusing it is to run the universe. It will all make sense some day.
