This sends us back to the problem that you can’t assert with any confidence
that God truly is good; you can only say that you deeply believe that he’s
good based on that small portion of Him that you believe yourself to have
perceived.

Did you think the usual proof was to trite?
The Problem of Evil
A good God would destroy evil.
An all powerful God could destroy evil.
Evil exists and is not destroyed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Therefore, there cannot possibly be such a good and all powerful God.

I like that proof just fine, but when I’ve presented it here before (in prior
discussions) it’s usually been dismissed off-handedly in terms of “His
mysterious purpose” or the like. For variety’s sake, I thought that I’d try
this perfect = without lack angle...
It’s good to revisit the classics, though!
Dave!
