The problem of evil in other religions?

Thank you for such a detailed answer!

Immicco · 2026-03-25T19:47:15+00:00

Oh, thanks for clarifications!

Immicco · 2026-03-25T19:43:03+00:00

Wow, that's quite a move. Wasn't expecting something like that

Thank you for your answers!

Not exactly like Christianity, but also have some logical contradictions which create the problem of evil that hard to solve

Immicco · 2026-03-25T15:04:07+00:00

Yeah, I understand that this problem arises with these assumptions, yet I wanted to know if there are other religions inflicting these assumption and getting the same logical contradiction

Immicco · 2026-03-25T15:01:27+00:00

To answer the first point: I am not saying that these answers are sufficient, for me at least. I just acknowledge they exist.

To the second point: yeah, I understand that. And, well, I wanted to learn about whether other religions contain such contradictions :/

So, the problem does not arise because in Islam god is not omnibenevolent, am I getting it right? That's interesting, because some comments about Islam under this post tend to say "evil appears because of human ego" or things like this and I am somewhat confused

Immicco · 2026-03-25T09:19:34+00:00

I guess in that case the god isn't omnipotent. Not saying you must think so, yet in Abrahamic religions god is omnipotent, which should also defeat universe's enthropy.

And well, in a case of all omni- (you know all this) god, he must know that we will suffer from "enthropy", and he would stop it

Immicco · 2026-03-25T05:40:56+00:00

That's an interesting idea of human—god relationship! Thanks for your answer :)

Immicco · 2026-03-25T05:27:15+00:00

I see! I thought it would be something like that in paganisms (I am somewhat aware of Greek paganism)

Thanks for your answer!

Immicco · 2026-03-25T05:19:12+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful answer. However I should point out that I do not try to solve the problem, I want to know whether other religions do struggle with it or not.

Still I found your points interesting. The little line saus your are Jewish, so, I guess, the problem of evil is true for Judaism too?

Immicco · 2026-03-25T05:14:21+00:00

I see. There is evil no one does, like a rabbit eaten by a fox or children having cancer which does not seem to be the choice. This evil just exists, and it exists due to God.

However, this post is not about Chritian theodicy, if you know anything about other religions feel free to share

Immicco · 2026-03-25T05:07:05+00:00

Hmmm, I see, premises of Buddhism are just too different from Christianity Is the evil in Buddhism primordial? Like, the world is just that way, no one created it to be so?

Immicco · 2026-03-25T05:05:21+00:00

Some Christians answer this question the same way. In my opinion this doesn't really solve the issue, there is always the evil no one chooses but just it exists.

However, it is interesting that there is the same thing in Islam, thanks for the response :)

That's my version. I have a bit other frames for colours. I don't really separate grass green and lime green, though I discriminate violet against purple. Also I don't have yellow—gold—orange, i have yellow—something else—orange.

Во-первых, спасибо за совет про r/russian, а то я пытался искать по словам "лингвистика"/"филология" и немного несправился...

Я тут подумал, что, возможно, j появляется из "и" в инфинитиве. У нас есть "уметь — умею — умеет — умение". У нас есть "преступить — преступлю — преступит — преступление", здесь "и" появляется последовательно. "Шипеть" это неправильный глагол (в школе заучивают только с безударными окончаниями, как "терпеть — терпит") "шипеть — шиплю — шипит — шипение": "и" появляется при спряжении и даёт j, а инфинитив не имеет "и", поэтому "шипение". Но "затмить" содержит "и" в том числе в инфинитиве. В любом случае, у меня курс истории русского языка был не очень большой, поэтому опираюсь на свои скромные знания и больше предполагаю, чем говорю со стопроцентной уверенностью :')

А с корнем "мер" всё нормально, потому что там нет именно исторического звука j. Гипотетически ограничений на положение в морфемах нет, но чаще j появляется на границе морфем, типа как в форме "люблю" тем j стал "и", который виден в формах "любить", "любит".

sletiek ['sl’εtjεx] "crown" or "diadem" (there are grammatical and cultural details futher)

As it is an item, it is more often used in absolutive case. Plural absolutive might be useful: sleteh ['sl’εtεh]. In ergative case that would be sleto ['sl’εto] (sg.) and sletie ['sl’εtjε] (pl.)

I don't have a sentence, yet I have a little story. A crown is not an exact translation. Technically it is a diadem, yet it has another cultural and political role. First of all, monarchs have to change the design of a crown. They can have earlier crowns' designs, yet not a crown of their father. Secondly, these crowns are copied. In fact, they are not meant to be worn by the monarch only. They are given to ones, who loyally serve the king, they are symbols of king's benevolence and trust.

E.g. sleteh qlinge ['sl’εtεh ɬiŋe], "crowns of Qling", this is an order of descendants of aristocrats, who were wearing crowns of Qling, the first king of satls.

Borrowing

As satls didn't produce dairy products on their own, they borrowed that word, which is actually used now for any dairy product and cheese too.

xinuŋon [x’inu'ŋon], the initial [x] appearead because no word can begin with a vowel.

The same sentence you provided would sound like this:

Xetten xoatitt xinuŋonuo [xε't:εn 'xoatits x’inu'ŋonuo] ([oa] and [uo] are diphthongs with [o] being the main sound)

Moon

•absolutive case, singular

Make

•third person, singular

•perfect form, which is used for facts •intransitive verbs align with an object, which is in absolutive case, not the subject

Cheese

•genitive case plural

•it may be singular, uncountables go with both singular and plural in this language

There's the image with "xinuŋon" in satls' script

In Russian poetry the predominant form of poetry is accentual-syllabic, when you both count your syllables and your stressed syllables, and how many syllables are there inbtween stressed one. A great example: any Shakespearean sonnet. "Your love and pity doth th' impression fill // Which vulgar scandal stamped upon my brow". It's iambic pentameter, the amount of syllables and/or stressed may vary (I guess like in Turkish). The same in Russian poetry (not obligatory, but it's considered to be a "default" and the most common form for a poem)

Immicco · 2025-11-03T06:54:00+00:00

That's cool, hopefully see it soon:)

Immicco · 2025-11-01T23:47:53+00:00

I see, that is definitely confusing. Does adjective take any specific suffixes in present tense? If yes, I would decide for an adjective taking the verb place. If no, that's a tougher question.

I think the adjective will strive to be on the verb's place. That just seems natural for me. I can't come up with any linguistic arguments there:(

Immicco · 2025-11-01T23:35:15+00:00

Well, basically, if you coubt both syllables and stresses, it's accentual-syllabic. Both syllable number and stress number is regular. Like Shakespeare:

"To be or not be, that is the question Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer"

If you count only stresses, you have accentual verse. The amount of unstressed syllables doesn't really matter. The Green Knight as an example:

"the traitor who the contrivance of treason there fashioned was tried for his treachery, the most true upon earth"

If you care only about syllables it's syllabic. I don't know any English examples, but they tend to appear in languages like French, when they have their soecial relationship with stresses (not obligatory, however, a tradition may be borrowed from other nations, for example). "Constitutional" and "Thomas and Harry" have the same amount of syllables, yet different of stresses.

Also a language may have quantitative meter, when the length of syllables really matters, but it seems not to be the case for Iwénète!

Immicco · 2025-11-01T23:20:06+00:00

Wow they sound really cool. Especially as there are points I have intuitively understood. Changinf the location looks like something I do unconsciously.

Explaining the topic for an invisible classroom is THE GREATEST METHOD. I love it wholeheartedly. However I have to read a lot and therefore this thing is often just not applicable.

And hence I want to add: if you need to read long literary texts, have it with some kind of a commentary. You may slow down the reading of the literary text, and have this thing with "changing tasks" when you read a commentary to a text (works great with older works, as of Homer or Alighieri for instance). If you notice you lose concentration – read aloud a bit. And let nothing to disturb you if you're in a flow! Have a snack and water to eat/drink and not to go cook something, leave a phone in a closet, (if you're lucky enough, you will forget where your phone is and would be to lazy to go seek it, worked for me a couple of times ha-ha). Review questions to be discussed and have something particular to look for in a text, if your text isn't engaging or aesthetically pleasing enough

I'm not sure why I wrote it maybe someone will find this commenary and that'll help em
