[QUOTE="2PhiloVoid, post: 73397859, member: 167101"] For me, and philosophically speaking, AND being that this issue you're bringing up directly pertains to a set of experiences of evil in my own life, I for one can tell you that I don't, myself, reconcile directly with "the problem of evil." However, as a Christian, and being that I have the ability to read the New Testament, then in my estimation, despite whatever evil takes place in this world during our ongoing processes of human history, I can surmise through this that [B][I][U]IF[/U][/I][/B] God AT SOME POINT is going to bring an end to all evils which we could cite in this world, [B][I][U]THEN[/U][/I][/B] I am willing to existentially give God the benefit of the doubt that, in the future, He'll more than make up for all of the evils we've experienced in this life. Of course, not everyone will be willing to just submit to this future form of "reconciliation" ... [/QUOTE]
