This is a great introductory article on the problem of suffering.- There is a collection of resources all about the problem of evil, including criticisms of several different responses to the problem. I mean, wow.
- I'd like to highlight one article in particular: a discussion of the "God works in mysterious ways" response: do we have enough evidence to believe that there is a reason for all the suffering in the world, but humans aren't smart enough to understand what that reason is?
- And here's a video talk on the humility response.
- Does everything happen for a reason? This cartoon dinosaur has an interesting take on that question. (T-Rex also occasionally wonders why bad things happen to nice people, and whether we're in the worst possible world.)
