Description
If God is all-powerful and all-loving, then why does he allow evil and suffering to exist? This age-old philosophical dilemma, called the "inconsistent triad," is discussed in this program by scholars and clerics who explain the viewpoint of theists, atheists, agnostics, and skeptics. Topics include natural evil (such as tsunamis and earthquakes) and moral evil (such as school shootings and genocide), the psychological repercussions of suffering and its possible benefits, and theodicy, or the continued belief in God's goodness despite the existence of human suffering.
