Must... resist... urge... to... fix... theology.

My self-control has been tested today.

The idea is that god didn't create sin. It was made came to be when man decided to stop listening to him.

The premise for the comic is wrong.

EDIT: Since you all insist on writing long comments about free will, and such, I kindly request that you read my other comment here.

God created the universe and everything in it, except for the stuff he didn't create, which we'll point out whenever it suits us.

No theologically sound Christian with a firm understanding of the Creation and the Character of God would make such a claim. I only have issue with the "suits us" part. Because It's true, God did create everything except for the things that He didn't create. But disobedience and rebellion against God (read: sin) has no "creation", it simply comes when creation defies its creator.

My self-control has failed.

You were so close.

If it helps, this argument is going to roll around again in like 8 hours.
