Great essay; you make your point very clearly and everything flows together nicely, given how you grouped it all around the Voltaire quote. It's easy to read, unlike some essays which overload you with complicated language, and I agree with your message. Your explanation for the existence of evil makes perfect sense to me. I hope you got a good grade.
Only you wrote "that" twice ("a religion that that teaches kindness and tolerance") and maybe you should include your bibliography, just in case.

i only wish I could qrite something close to this masterpiece. You are my heroine!! I want to write like you!! BTW what books did you use?

Must say this stuff got me thinking. Think ill leave it in my fav stories for a while.

"What would the world be like if God was bound to our ideas of fairness" Makes you think about it no? In my opionion we'd all be dead. But anways.. love the essay =)

I LOVE this. You should be proud of it. You had good points, and I had a pleasure reading this.

Woah, just amazing. I must say I myself am not a believer but after reading what you wrote it really got me thinking. You made alot of valid points there which were backed up by the slight argument, that was done very well indeed. You are a great writer.

I really liked the sentence "God put man in an imperfect world, full of chaos and evil. However, it is the only way to give him free will, for without knowledge of evil, man could not make the conscious choice in favor of good. "

I just don't understand if all this is true then why does god create things such as the unsuspected death of a loved one? It's just one of those things that I will never comprehend.
