Freedom‚ Evil‚ and the Illusion of Omnipotence “Is he an omnipotent and wholly benevolent being willing to prevent evil‚ but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able‚ but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is Evil?” -Hume In the world we live in today‚ there is undoubtedly the existence of evil. Such a presence of moral wrongdoing seems confusing in a world where such a significant portion of the population believes in the existence of a God. This

Ambiguity in A Good Man is Hard to Find ’ In most short stories ambiguity is used to some extent. The level of ambiguity in each story varies‚ however the importance and value of that vagueness does not. Ambiguity often leads to elevating the thought put into reading the text‚ as well as numerous interpretations. In Flannery O ’Connor ’s short story‚ A Good Man is Hard to Find ’‚ the ambiguous theme causes both deeper thought and different opinions about the text. Through the characters

positions of both Socrates and the Sophists. Socrates believed that there is an absolute truth with it being universal to every person‚ which is one of the many things him and the Sophists did not agree on. Socrates believed in an absolute definition of goodness and claims that to know the good and to do the good but first one must know the distinction between good and bad; one must act it out in their life.

God’s goodness. He knows that goodness should exist‚ but evil is so widespread that it seems impossible for both to coexist. I say that part of Brown’s hidden motive to go into the forest is his failed desperation to prove evil can’t exist among all he trusts to be fair and good. Instead of trying to believe that all is lost to evil‚ Goodman lies to himself again‚ believing that he and Faith are the ones that matter and not touched by such sin. He doesn’t try to resolve evil by proving goodness is still

something is right if and only if God commands it‚ and this form should be kept in mind. However‚ if goodness is not an essential property of God‚ then there is no guarantee that what he wills will be good. Even if God is all-powerful and all knowing‚ it does not follow that he is all-good. One can be powerful and intelligent without being good. Thus‚ the Divine Command Theory faces a dilemma: if goodness is a defining attribute of God‚ the theory is circular‚ but if it is not a defining distinction‚
