Description
Why do good things happen to bad people? If God exists, then why is there human suffering? How can we argue for the existence of God while still maintaining the reality of human suffering? These are questions that get tossed up in a Philosophy of Religion course surrounding what is commonly called "The Problem of Evil." Get your students to discuss the problem, explore why it is a problem, and brainstorm possible responses to the question.
