How Could You, God?!?!

A number of people have been using the recent tsunami to re-ask the question, "how could a loving God allow people to suffer?" This is known as "the problem of evil" or the "problem of suffering." The conclusion they want us to reach is that because such suffering exists it is at least improbable that a loving, all-knowing, all-powerful God exists. We at the HAT think this is the wrong conclusion to reach and I would like to point you toward a short blog entry by Christian philosopher John Depoe that gives some good reasons why:
