Dave and the theological problem of evil by nebulacafe on 01-15-2006
Tell me, Father Adams, is God responsible for all of the evil and injustice in the world? Wars, plagues, and famine.. How could a benevolent Creator be responsible for this pain-stricken world?
You must understand that God is only responsible of free will. Suffering is a result of free will, but this suffering is the only thing that makes our lives meaningful. To create paradise would also require the lack of free will, which would give the subjects of paradise an empty life.
Thank you Father! Those were very wise words! Now I understand that God gave us a gift by allowing suffering because suffering forces us to grow mentally and spiritually.
You are very welcome, Dave. I am glad that you understand.
God, with a deep understanding of irony, promptly summons a tsunami. Dave and Father Adams are killed instantly.
