Evil should always be disturbing to those who are have a conscience and some degree of compassion.

But not everything that is disturbing is evil.

The definition of 'disturbing' is that which causes anxiety or worry. It can be disturbing if someone is unable to pay their bills, but that doesn't mean struggling financially is evil. It can be disturbing to go the dentist. That doesn't make it evil. And so on.

Again, you're conflating personal negative reactions with "evil."

I think we've exhausted this comment thread, Notch. And I'm not going to get drawn into a cross-examination on all your objections to the Bible.

For anyone following this discussion...

Three book recommendations...

"The Reason for God" by Timothy Keller

"How (Not) to Read the Bible" by Dan Kimball

"Is God a Moral Monster?" by Paul Copan

Signing off this thread. It's getting tiresome.

All the best.
