Meph, you do know that Modes was being tongue-in-cheek satire of my attempts to change the name/general content of this forum?

Yes, but if you've read the postings that were under this forum, we don't always deal with the problem of evil. We grasp at specific aspects of the reality of evil. No one is struggling with whether or not abortions are really part of some greater plan or serving the greater good. I mean if we got some pro-choice Christians in here, we could deal with that, heck I could bring it up. Usually we take as given that something is evil and seek to understand what may be done about it.

But overall thanks. I guess you aren't Electra, after all

Prayer from Kenya

From the Cowardice that dare not face new truth,
From the Laziness that is contented with half-truth,
From the Arrogance that thinks it knows all truth,
Lord Deliver Me.

It is completely possible to ask God questions, voice frustrations, and deal with existential problems…all while ULTIMATELY saying “Lord, thou knowst..and thou knowst well.” To be sure, there are lots of arrogant people out there who actually presume to DEFINE what type of God they think is worthy of worship. That crud turns my stomach! But this is not always the case.

I like the quote from Evdokimov (who might be quoting someone esle) that:

"Job argued with God for God."
