| Summary: | First, a paradox, a problem in the problem of evil. I shall call it the paradox of evil'.On the one hand it is of course widely held that the evils in the world present an insuperable difficulty for Judeo-Christian theism. Russell, to take a conspicuous example, challenges any orthodox believer to visit the bedside of a child terminally ill with cancer and yet to retain his faith without hypocrisy (cf. Why I am not a Christian'). No paradox here; just the familiar problem of evil. |
