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?
- Well-known contemporary philosopher (and ordained priest) Marilyn McCord Adams offers some insights into the problem of evil in this audio interview.
- The NPR program Fresh Air has an audio interview with Bart Ehrman on the problem of suffering.
- Here's even more audio from a few philosophers on the problem of suffering.
- Thoughts on everyday evil and the Holocaust.
- 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.)
- Finally, here's Stephen Colbert's take on evil:
