The Problem of Evil - (A Progressive Atheists Lecture)
Details
The Problem of Evil
The existence of evil, pain and suffering is considered by many philosophers to be the most vexed question concerning the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient and morally perfect deity.
Why would a loving God permit wanton acts of cruelty and misery on the scale witnessed throughout human history?
Leslie Allan (Owner and Author, Rational Realm www.RationalRealm.com) leads a discussion on common theistic responses to this problem, exploring how each approaches the problem and outstanding issues.
He then examines a theistic defence designed to show that the problem of evil is not a problem at all.
