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).
