"the problem of evil" (moral relativism, atheism, and Christianity)
Enjoyed Greg Koukl’s talk last night at IU Southeast on “the problem of evil”– as most poignantly illustrated by Bertrand Russell questioning how one can talk about God when kneeling at the bed of a dying child. My favorite nuggets:
-What does the self-styled “moral relativist” say? There’s no such thing as evil. So, nothing other than inconsistency or hand-waving.
-What does the self-styled “atheist” offer? Not much if anything. Where do laws/standards come from? How do they explain the problem of evil? #CricketsOrCrap
What does Christianity offer? Quite a bit.
a.) God created institutions to reduce evil (family, govt, church)
b.) promise/hope of future justice
c.) God’s patience with our contributions to evil
d.) God empowers C’s to deal w/ their own evil thru Holy Spirit
e.) God’s overarching emphasis on redemption
f.) and of course, especially, the Cross.
Certainly a tough question– and more importantly, tough to experience– but it’s not a good look to chuck philosophical rocks when you got nuthin to offer.
