I might bother to read the entire article, but this "philosophical" problem is PATHETIC..as I explain in my below statement..

This concept of GOD being omnipotent, but permits EVIL stuff to occur is only an issue if GOD is also considered OMNIBENEVOLENT.

Certainly, that is an incorrect view of at least the Christian GOD - ya know, the dude that threatened to burn you in HELL FOREVER if you screw up!

Yes, to consider such a GOD as omnibenevolent is to render one unworth_Y to be considered rational as a philosospher. :roll:
