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.


In this episode August discusses his pamphlet on the subject,
