    You can simply replace evil with suffering, or ig a christian context might say sin? The point is the paradox is a structure, if any choice of word makes it work, then it works.

      All of these are points of view with no objective reality or meaning.

      “Suffering” is a subjective experience that has no objective reality. Suffering does not “exist” it is a judgement about a condition made by the internal state of a living thing. It has no objective existence of it’s own, only a description of a subjective state or feeling.

      The real problem is starting with a false premise and expecting anything but absurdity at the other end.

        Objectivity can by your own logic be subjective as it is a judgment about a concept made by the condition of general consensus. Have fun word smithing your way out of any conceptual discomfort or useful conveyance of thought related to the human condition.

          Objectivity and subjectivity are opposites, how does “my logic” equate them. That’s nonsense.

          it is a judgment about a concept made by the condition of general consensus.

          That is pure word soup without a point.

          You’re so twisted up in your own point of view you can’t even see what you are. It’s sad in a way.

          Have fun word smithing your way out of any conceptual discomfort or useful conveyance of thought related to the human condition.

          Do you have any point at all or do you just like stringing words together that you don’t understand?
