  Parables, parables, parables - is that all that the philosophy of religion has to offer?

• Good Enough

  
  The Prosblogion — Authority: 521
  Suppose we take it as settled that God is not required to actualize a world that exceeds positive value N. There are, in short, some good enough worlds. What then happens to the problem of evil? I claim the problem disappears. Two possibilities. A. If God need not actualize a world whose overall value exceeds N, and ...

  (Cross-posted on prosblogion.) Lets say I climb Mt. Everest, and then enjoy a delightful view from the top. But as I climb the mountain, I undergo various horrendous sufferings.

  Okay guys, I know you read this week’s link list , but the stats say you didn’t do a lot of clicking.   I’m thinking of this one in particular: Kevin Rogers at the blog, The Orphan Age , introduces his son Levi (15) who shares a dialog that took place in a Grade Nine class discussion.

• Recommended Reading on Job

  Over the past month or so, I’ve read over 300 books and articles (often only parts of them) about the book of Job for a dissertation chapter I just drafted.

• I gets Ben Stein email!

  
  The Not-Quite-So-Friendly Humanist — Authority: 411
  Warning: this blog post will be quite very long. A Christian friend of mine sent me this. I’ve seen things like it before, lots of emails get sent around Christian circles and I’m privy to precious few. I suppose they help with the persecution complex. Anyway so it’s a piece written by Ben “ science leads ...

• Can a meaningful standard of good and evil exist without a Designer?

  
  Wintery Knight — Authority: 539
  Check out this post over at Tough Questions Answered. Excerpt: If you truly believe that there is evil in the world, then you must believe that there is good in the world as well.  We can’t know what is wrong unless we know what is right.  We can’t know a crooked line unless we know a straight line.  We ...

• A REJECTION OF CALVINISMS THEOLOGICAL DETERMINISM

  
  Classical Arminianism — Authority: 126
  Since every effect must first have a cause, which in itself is an effect necessitated by a cause ad inifitum , then there must be an uncaused cause for the existence of all things (since an infinite regress of cause and effect is logically impossible). From a Christian worldview, the God of Abraham, ...

• Evil, or just bad luck?

  
  KHdN - Kenneth Hynek (dot Net) — Authority: 435
  From Chastek : Is the problem of evil is simply the problem of bad luck? Aren’t the evils we are wrestling with simply a matter of wrong place, wrong time, or of being dealt a bad hand? I suppose this opens up the question of whether there is room, in Christian theology, for discussion of such things as luck, ...

• The Freedom of Creation Is to Blame?

  
  New Leaven — Authority: 427
  Not to be confused with the freedom of humanity. So instead of blaming the evil and suffering that we humans continue to both live with and complain about, seeking answers here and there, Why not blame the freedom of creation—the freedom that Almighty God bestowed on his natural creation? So the next time a ...

• More on animal pain

  
  The Prosblogion — Authority: 521
  Suppose I am a person who is either not embodied or who doesnt know that he is embodied.
