Ep 462 The Problem of Evil

July 22, 2018

The Problem of Evil is a philosophical discussion that traditionally is attributed to the Greek philosopher Epicurious.  While it predates the monotheistic religions that dominate many cultures today, it is still a relevant logical argument when talking to theists today.
