| Quote | The problem of evil can therefore be reformulated as the following argument:
Premise 1: Since God is good, he wants to destroy evil.
Premise 2: Since God is all-powerful, he can destroy evil.
Premise 3: Evil is not yet destroyed.
Conclusion: Therefore God will eventually destroy evil.
|
Premise 1: Since I am empathic, I want to do good.
Premise 2: Since I am smart, I can figure out how to destroy evil.
Premise 3: Evil is not yet destroyed.
Conclusion: Someday, I will destroy Evil!
Yes, fame and fortune will soon be mine for destroying evil.
This is even more shallow than most attempts to deal with TPoE. |
Or as somebody once put it,
| Quote | It's not about good.
It's not about evil.
It's about power. |
