The Problem Of Evil (the other guy's, that is)
The Problem Of Evil is a deep philosophical argument developed from a very sophisticated study of the deep human need to complain a lot. It sounds intellectual. It's just whining at the graduate studies level. To put it in a simple syllogism, we can state it this way:
A. I had a really bad day, what with disasters and war and all.
B. Therefore, there is no God.
I've often been assailed by unbelievers (and pouting believers) howling about how bad the world is and doesn't that prove there's no God. Tsunamis, earthquakes, fires, disease, despots, murderers, thieves, abusers of children...
"Yes," I say, "and which one of those are you?"
In Christ,
Phil Perkins.
