Dolber) Newsgroups: net.religion.christian,net.religion.jewish,net.philosophy Subject: Notice of posting on omnipotence, justice, and suffering Message-ID: <1035@phs.UUCP> Date: Fri, 5-Jul-85 12:37:41 EDT Article-I.D.: phs.1035 Posted: Fri Jul 5 12:37:41 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 7-Jul-85 05:40:33 EDT Organization: Dept. Physiol., DUMC Lines: 14 Xref: watmath net.religion.christian:837 net.religion.jewish:2167 net.philosophy:2021 I have posted a (152 lines) question to net.religion, really a re-posing of what Walter Kaufmann considered an insoluble question: Can God or a god be both omnipotent and just (including "good," "morally perfect" and so on) and simultaneously allow the suffering which exists in the world? Readers of net.religion.christian, net.religion.jewish and net.philosophy of any or no religious persuasion who do not ordinarily read net.religion are invited to reply. The posting (entitled "Omnipotence, justice and suffering: a very long question") was too long to send to multiple groups and, as no particular religious affiliation was assumed of the respondents, net.religion was deemed the most appropriate place for the posting (and replies). Regards, Paul Dolber (...duke!phs!paul).
