in itself; however it does lend itself towards Christian beliefs and Boethius was also known for his work with the church. While not necessarily a religious problem, Boethius spends a great deal of time contemplating evil; more specifically if God is perfect in his goodness, and is the unity of all things rules the world, how is it that evil is allowed to exist and is not always punished? In addition, where wickedness flourishes, virtue is often downtrodden and even stamped out. If God is

was dominated by common- sense materialism. It was the books of the Platonists that first made it possible for him to conceive the possibility of a non-physical substance. It did provide him however with a non- Manichean solution to the problem of the origin of evil. In addition, the books of the Platonists provided him with a framework where he plotted the human condition. According to Augustine the framework for Platonists can account for the difficulties with which life brings about to us, in the

Hi Peeps, Today's Quote "Double your good efforts by now gambling on evil ways to fix your problems, but have faith in God and His Revenge of Eternity!" ~ Jon Barnes Gambling Gambling is a game of addiction for fools, but trust is faith in action towards God, which is the only sure bet that you can ever place. People play games and tricks all of the time, while God does not. He cannot, since He already knows the outcomes and results of everything. Man's ways are full of double talk, double

Upon being introduced to Macbeth, he is portrayed as a war hero turned evil by his ambitious desires and greed. His wife Lady Macbeth is described as a power-hungry woman whose evil thoughts and cruel desires have earned her the reputation of a woman too masculine to fit the description of the fragile, gentle beings that women in those times were thought to be. From the beginning, Lady Macbeth is seemingly blamed for corrupting her once honorable husband. It has been argued that Lady Macbeth convincing

God would be breaking logic, something even an omniscient being can’t do. He similarly explained that God couldn’t have reduced evil, as that would still be indirectly controlling humans, which he said was analogous to “hypnosis or drugs” (Swinburne, 85). Another approach to the problem of evil is the soul-making defense, of which Hick is a key figure. Hick argues evil exists as a form of human development. Hick firmly stated that a human which “attained to goodness” via experience, was more valuable

Obvious to every individual, “God” cannot be seen, heard, or touched. Scientifically, there is no concrete proof of God’s existence. Simply, an atheist would assert that God does not exist due to scientific reasoning and logic and Rowe’s argument from evil. However, a theist would refute the atheist’s argument with Paley’s design argument and Swinburne’s free will defense. Ultimately, what can truly be known about God’s existence? God’s Existence Versus Logic From an atheist’s perspective, there is no

both altruistic and evil actions for selfish reasons. Inherently humans take action that will either directly or indirectly benefit themselves. Whether or not the action is deemed as “good” or “evil” by society, the action is guided by the desire to benefit the person committing the action. The selfish desire for personal gain can cause a significant amount of harm in the world, thus creating guilt and a selfish need for humans to feel like good people and to hide their evil action. This produces

impossible to achieve that must mean God does not exist if potrayed in Christian or Muslim perspective. Based on the theistic perception of God, this being cannot exist due to the countless issues that arises such as the paradox of hell, the problem of evil, the omnipotence paradox, the argument of freewill and lastly the dysteleological argument. Before claiming God in nonexistant, we must first understand what it means to exist. To claim something exist is quite hard to prove given that there

nobody chooses to do wrong deliberately. • Therefore, to be moral you must have true knowledge. The problem of the One and the Many Plato was trying to find a solution to the problem that although there is underlying stability in the world (sun comes up every morning), it is constantly changing (you never step into the same river twice). 1. An old theory about this problem is that we gain all knowledge from our senses – empirically. 2. Plato disagreed with this. He said that
