1. Bart Ehrman, Questioning Religion on Why We Suffer

Comment #130295 by PaulMauriceMartin on February 20, 2008 at 8:24 am

The two ideas are simply logically contradictory: on the one hand, an all-good, all-powerful Entity; on the other, the existence of pain and suffering. Every theodicy I've read is either an obfuscation or, as in process theology, a reconceptualization of God in a way that makes God less than all-powerful in the sense of a Magician who can do anything (S)he wants at any time.
