The Greatest Problem Known to Man

In today's episode we briefly explore the "Problem of Evil," using atheist J.L. Mackie's formulation, which can be paraphrased as: "It is not possible that all three of the following are true at once: 1) That God is omnipotent; 2) that God is wholly good; 3) that evil exists."

Is Mackie right? Is God not all good? Does God cause evil or only permit it? Why? Send your feedback to [email protected] or [email protected]. Thanks for listening!

P.S. Tune in next week for a discussion about Familiaris Consortio.

We'd love to hear what you think of this episode!
