How can a good God allow so much Evil in the World?
In the James Bond movie, Casino Royale, Bond’s employer, M, says to Bond, “arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand-in-hand". This statement is true for atheists, especially when they challenge God’s existence. One question they often ask is, “How can a good God allow so much evil in the world?”. They ask this question as the set up for some sort of “Gotcha” moment. The problem here, is that they are lacking the self-awareness to realize that in their attempt to “get” the Christians they ask this question to, they are actually conceding the existence of God and are instead questioning his nature. After all, how can any kind of God “allow” anything if he doesn’t exist to begin with? How can God have a nature if he doesn’t exist? The question of “How can a good God allow evil?” is doubly fallacious. It is a Loaded Question being utilized as a Red Herring.

It has been a history of Pakistan that any policy, law, or amendment that has come against the interests of the right political wing, they have resisted, such as the transgender protection bill, women's rights bill, the change in the educational syllabus, or any measure from state authorities that can eradicate or control the growing gun culture extremism and radicalization.

Political Chaos: Pakistan Must Act Now to Foster Dialogue and Reform

Such efforts have found favor within the diaspora, who have expressed dissatisfaction with the government's actions. The PTI's narrative demands international attention and intervention in issues of this nature and portrays the government as an oppressive regime that suppresses opposition and pays no heed to human rights. The aim is to create international consensus and coerce the government into reform.
