The problem of evil

[Hume]

It is hardly an exaggeration to state that the problem of evil stands as one of the most extensively debated subjects in philosophy and theology.

The problem of evil, in the sense in which I shall be using the phrase, is a problem only for someone who believes that there is a God who is both omnipotent and wholly good.

Easy. God cannot prevent evil.

 

[Yakuda]

Easy. God cannot prevent evil.

There is no evil just like there is no cold. Evil is the absence of good just like cold is only the absence of heat. Evil and cold are only terms we use to describe the absence of good and heat.
