Are Theists Illogical for Believing in God?
#27
RE: Are Theists Illogical for Believing in God?
I did not mean that heaven is a solution to the problem. Even if memory is erased at the pearly gates, the evil still has been done.

What I meant was that christianity itself has already debunked the concept of best possible world as a solution to the problem of evil. In the christian dogma god created heaven and earth, so two possible worlds of which heaven is generally portrayed (again in that same dogma) as the better world. So if our earthly world is the best possible world, heaven should not be possible. Of course the latter is not acceptable for christians for they would miss out on the heavenly singing and the fortune cookies.
