    Explain the problem of evil and Augustine’s Theodicy. What is evil? John Hick defined evil as “physical pain‚ mental suffering and moral wickedness”. The monotheistic God of Christianity supposedly possesses divine qualities of omnipotence‚ omniscience and Omni benevolence. Omnipotence means the almighty and all knowing‚ omniscience means having infinite knowledge and Omni benevolent means all loving. If God is all of these things then why is there evil? The problem of evil brings up some big issues

    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? At first glance the thing that sticks out to me when I hear this question is: Asking where evil comes from is like asking where hunger comes from. Where does the desire for procreation‚ for sexual reproduction come from? Is a lion evil? I am sure it could be viewed

Do we always act towards the common good of others? I am positive that we do not‚ and in fact‚ as much as society wants to‚ we go against our morals and lead with our ‘feelings’. These feelings may feel right‚ but it doesn’t mean they will lead you in the right path to fulfil your ultimate end‚ true happiness. Hitler

    decisions can be made quickly. In the extract of the book Leviathan‚ Hobbes explains how an absolute monarchy can be successful. He believes that an absolute monarchy should have one ruler so men do not fight for power (Hobbes). By one person having power there is less fighting because people will listen to their ruler. Hobbes states‚ “For there is no Covenant with God‚...” (Hobbes). This statement shows the reader that Hobbes feels that no one is above the ruler‚ not even God. He explains that a

    universe‚ why then does evil exist? The prosaic response of "without evil‚ there is no good" no longer holds any validity in this argument as the admitted goal of good is to reach an existence without evil. So even if a God does exist‚ I think it is fair‚ at this point‚ to say that he is the embodiment of both good and evil. And if humoring those who would answer the previous question with the response that there can be no good without evil‚ then can we assume that evil is simply a subsection of

    and omnipotent simply because evil exists‚ is a statement of the problem of evil argument. If God was an omniscient being‚ he would have known everything about evil‚ if he were benevolent; he then would have stopped all evil from occurring and if at all he were omnipotent ha then would have been able to stop all evil. The evil exists‚ therefore‚ an omnipotent‚ benevolent and omnipotent entity does not exist either. There are two arguments on the evil or problem of evil. They include logical and evidential

    into their personalities? Have you ever thought of the idea that everyone in this world is evil? In the novel we have been reading‚ the author Paulo Coelho states “given the rights circumstances‚ every human being on this earth would be willing to commit evil.” Could Coelho be true or is it just a lame theory? Too many questions revolve around our minds when we read this statement. If everyone is evil‚ our days would be miserable‚ our lives would be hopeless. When a person is determined to

    Evil and Good The obvious thing to say about evil is that it is the opposite of good. Some people may argue that there is a lot good in the world. Everyone does have evil in them and are very well capable of doing bad things. Although not everyone expresses their anger at the same level of intensity‚ everyone has most likely done more bad in their life then acts of good kindness. Shakespeare wrote‚ “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones‚” act three‚ scene

    Philosophical Comparison (Hobbes & Locke) Hobbes‚ while being clearly in support of a Unitarian government under one strong leader‚ is seemingly in juxtaposition to Locke‚ who holds that any government must conform to the laws established in the legislation. Hobbes‚ reacting to the brutal and violent civil war taking place in England‚ was writing in protest to what he saw. Hobbes believed that in this state nothing would‚ or could be achieved. He believed that what would unify the state was not

    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. The arguments from evil state that if there
