Episode description
In this spontaneous episode, I discuss the Problem of Evil/Suffering -- that is, the argument against the existence of God/gods due to the undeniable existence of suffering in our world.
I think through the nature and logic of suffering itself, distinguishing it from pain, and placing it in relation to conscious volition.
Finally, I talk through the Free-Will theodicy (solution to the Problem of Suffering), and then give my own theodicy from a non-religious or non-theological starting point.
Thanks for listening, and merry Christmas :)
