The question of why God allows evil and suffering, such as rape, to happen is a complex and deeply philosophical one with various perspectives. Some argue that it is a test of faith or a means of spiritual growth, others argue that it is a result of human free will or natural order of the world, and others question the existence of God. It's a deeply personal question and each person must come to their own understanding.
>God allows rape as a test of faith
That sounds pretty fricked up, he could have tests of faith that.. don't involve rape. After all, he's omniscient and all powerful >God allows rape for spiritual growth
See above >Free will
God can create a world where we have free will but it's impossible to rape someone, much like how he created our current world where it's impossible to phase through objects >Natural order of the world
It's God. He decides the natural order. Unless rape is so important to human existence that it's literally impossible to create a world without it?
>That sounds pretty fricked up, he could have tests of faith that.. don't involve rape. After all, he's omniscient and all powerful
God does not specifically "choose" certain forms of evil, such as rape, to test a person's faith. Rather, it is believed that God allows evil and suffering to exist in the world as a means of testing and strengthening a person's faith, regardless of the specific form that suffering takes. >God can create a world where we have free will but it's impossible to rape someone, much like how he created our current world where it's impossible to phase through objects
it is impossible to create a world with free will without the potential for suffering. This is because free will, or the ability to make choices and act independently, is closely tied to the concept of moral responsibility. If individuals are not able to make choices that can lead to harm, then they cannot be held morally responsible for their actions.

If god truly cared about free will, he could've made people free to choose not to be raped.
And if you object that free will is not synonymous with capacity for action, then he could've made the would-be rapists capable of willing the act but incapable of committing it.
Hell is destruction of body and soul, literally stated so by Christ in Matthew 10:28
The prophet Ezekiel revealed that the soul that sins shall DIE, not live eternally.
Nowhere is the punishment for sin LIFE, it is DEATH.
DEATH is an eternal punishment. When you die, you sleep until the day of judgement, where you will be resurrected to eternal life or you will be resurrected to eternal damnation, everlasting contempt, shame, DEATH, the second DEATH, the lake of fire and DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD
YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE AND FACE YOUR MAKER ONE DAY
YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE AND FACE YOUR MAKER ONE DAY
YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE AND FACE YOUR MAKER ONE DAY
YOU BETTER GET RIGHT WITH GOD WHILE YOU STILL CAN
TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED, TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION
Your religion is fake, gay and made up. I'll put it in terms you can understand. You know how you consider everyone else's religion made up? Well, yours is that as well. It's just fake, made up bullshit about a magic israelite.
>hurr durr why problem of evil?
actual generationally spanning lifetimes of accumulated arguments and philosophizing and biblical scholar frickery and instead of reading any of that you come here. frick me running.
My own take on god is that he just kind of has uncontrollable mood swings, so while he might omnipotent, his tendency to allow or prohibit depends on the flavor of tea he drank that morning.
And, not to mention, a being with infinite dimensions and wisdom ought to create a Dr Manhattan type personality, even if the Bible says otherwise.

God does not need to create a world with rape in it if all he wants is to test someone’s faith
If God is omniscient testing someone’s faith is redundant anyways, he knows everything so he doesn’t need to test us
God does not need to create a world with rape in it if he wants to give humans free will
If god truly cared about free will, he could've made people free to choose not to be raped.
And if you object that free will is not synonymous with capacity for action, then he could've made the would-be rapists capable of willing the act but incapable of committing it.
>Allows women to get raped as a test to see if he'll torture them when they're dead or not.
Your religion is fricking moronic.

Evil is simply the absence of God
he's a voyeur
Multiple gods and competing interests.
Why won't you stop sinning?
Rape only happens to prostitutes.
women want to be raped

who is god? and what does he look like?
My own take on god is that he just kind of has uncontrollable mood swings, so while he might omnipotent, his tendency to allow or prohibit depends on the flavor of tea he drank that morning.
