Spiritual Speculation Space

The Problem of Evil

May 2, 2024

Discussion Questions
(more coming soon)

These questions are just to help get the discussion going. They do not need to be discussed in order and conversation outside of the bounds of these questions is welcome. 

  1. How do you define evil? Are you aware of definitions that differ from your own?

  2. If you are a monotheistic person of faith, how do you square the goodness of a powerful God with the existence of evil?

  3. Is God limited or omnipotent?

  4. What is the relationship between the idea of free will and your definition of evil?
