In his book, God's Problem, Bart D. Ehrman asserts that the suffering of humanity, especially from natural causes such as flood and famine, impunes God's loving nature. If He is in control, and He is loving, then how can He allow such things as the Ethiopian famine when the earth is capable of growing enough food for all, or the hurricane-caused devastation of New Orleans? Dr. Ehrman concludes that this god does not exist.
Well, I agree, the god he is imagining does not exist.
At the Bell n Pomegranate, I want to focus on things of the Spirit and how our beliefs inform our lives in this world. So settle in with a drink of new wine, and put your two cents in with mine. Just remember this is a publick house, and I expect a certain amount of civility; but that does not rule out controversy, nor even passion.
