    Theodicy

    Theodicy means “vindication of God.” This is from the Ancient Greek ‘theos’ meaning “god” & ‘dike’ meaning “justice.”

    This is an argument in the philosophy of religion that tries to resolve the Problem of Evil, which arises when all power (omnipotence) & all goodness (omnibenevolence) are attributed to God simultaneously.

    Theodicy provides a framework in which God & evil’s existence are considered plausible. It’s not trying to show that God & evil can logically coexist. A theodicy is “an answer to the question of who God permits evil” (philosopher Alvin Plantinga).

    In this view, theodicy is a theological set-up that tries to vindicate God in response to the Problem of Evil. This looks inconsistent with the existence of an omnipotent & omnibenevolent God.

    Another definition of theodicy is the vindication of divine goodness & providence in the view of the existence of evil.

    A theodicy shows that it’s reasonable to believe in God despite evidence of evil in the world. It offers a foundation that can account for why evil exists.

    Theodicies are developed to answer the question of why a good God allows the manifestation of evil. Thereby resolving the Problem of Evil. Some theodicies also address the Problem of Evil “to make the existence of an all-knowing, all-powerful, & all-good God consistent with the existence of evil or suffering in the world.”

    I'm not "equating all of religion" with anything. That's a strawman argument.

    If a #god admits "that he's been wrong," then he is neither #omnipotent nor #omniscient, as is commonly claimed.

    I'm an atheist, so I don't belong to a local church. That was a non-sequitur. And I enjoy life just fine, thank you.

    True, most people on Mastodon aren't fundamentalist #Christians. But that's another non-sequitur, irrelevant to my question..

    My purpose is to encourage critical thinking.
