If God is good, we'd probaby expect the universe to be a good place, and those who follow God to be good people. But these expectations are not always met.
In this section, you can find discussion of:
- We experience a world where suffering and evil take away so much human happiness. Is there any answer to the question of how could a good God allow all this, or is this the ultimate proof that God doesn't exist?
- Does religion poison everything? Does religion cause war or terrorism? Are religious people so nasty that this proves God could not exist or isn't worthy of worship? Or do the facts show something different?
These are difficult questions which I've approached honestly.
