Your personal take on “The Problem of Evil?”
#31
RE: Your personal take on “The Problem of Evil?”
You can't get to morality from intellectual considerations alone. Without something like a conscience there would be no basis for finding gratuitous harm repulsive - which most of us do. I accept that basic belief as well. A separate god to connect the dots would be convenient. An actual eternal other would even be nice. But I think I'll have to make do with a psyche that is greater than myself which gives rise to my sense of identity. It provides me with much for which I am grateful and it is a mystery. That will do.
