- Evil and suffering
- if God is omnipotent why doesn't he stop evil?
- if God is omniscient why doesn't he know how to stop evil?
- if God is omnibenevolent how does he allow people to cause suffering?
- Aquinas
- "God means infinitely good so if God existed there would be no evil, but there is so therefore God doesn't exist
- types of evil
- moral evil
- actions of man causing suffering
- natural evill
- a malfunction of the earth
- natural through moral evil
- naural evil occurs because of humans
- metaphysical evil
- evil is inevitable and is simply a part of our world
- moral evil
- inconsistant triad
- we are left with 3 options:
- 1) conclude that evil doesn't exist
- 2) conclude that God doesn't exist
- 3) make a defence/explanation- THEODICY
