seems the most obvious and relevant question one might ask God given the extensive and widespread cases of apparently gratuitous evil we witness on a daily basis. Such pointless evils that no greater good could ever come from (Augustine‚ 2015). A question as such leaves us to one of the most important and controversial topics in the philosophy of religion‚ the problem of evil (Davies‚ 2013‚ p. 208). The problem as such is ultimately a debate between theists and atheists about the grounds for belief

300 The Problem of Evil One of the most interesting questions in the world is‚ “If a God exists‚ why is there evil in the world?” Most people respond with‚ “If God created the universe and us‚ then there should not be evil in the world‚” when asked about God or any other powerful being. The problem of evil is also believed to be the cause of Atheism‚ and I do believe that there is a solution for this. The problem of evil is not a correct argument.

On the Origin of Evil Where does evil come from? This is a question that I find most interesting. In our modern day civilization educated by liberal institutions everybody speaks as if they are certain of what evil is. So what is it?

The nature of evil is a crucial yet difficult to understand concept. The conundrum of how good people can turn bad is one of the most prominent questions in today’s society. However‚ the word good is to be used lightly as following John Locke’s theory of Tabula Rasa; people aren’t born inherently good or evil thus their morality comes from experience and perception. The privileged like to think that they are all good people and there is a distinct line that separates them from everyone else. However

Your secondary mode is external‚ where you deal with things rationally and logically. ISTJs are quiet and reserved individuals who are interested in security and peaceful living.
