Was chill’n with my son at Barnes and Nobles, right, and while my son was cruzz’n every which way (21 months old and all), was finally able to get him through the Philosophy section and at the speed of light my eye caught the title “The Problem of Evil: Selected Readings” Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press,1992, Michael L. Peterson as editor…Soooo I got my son to relax in my arms for about…Ohhh, I don’t know 2mn. or so, but that’s all it took before I started to drool and run a few more laps around and making the final lap end up at the cash register!!!

“The notion that God uses evils as a means to such higher goods is, … incompatible with the doctrine that he is omnipotent, and therefore does not need to use deplorable means to achieve his ends” (J.L. Mackie). | | Back to Top | | |
