Out of the Mouths of Babes: Pope Confronted With Problem of Evil, Runs Like Hell
avatar

Pope Francis embraces girl after she asks: ‘Why does God allow children to become prostitutes?’ – News – People – The Independent

Visibly moved, the Pope said: “She is the only one who has put forward a question for which there is no answer and she was not even able to express it in words but rather in tears.”

There is no answer because her question encapsulates the Problem of Evil, which religions have never, ever been able to satisfactorily answer.

About Bill Quick

I am a small-l libertarian. My primary concern is to increase individual liberty as much as possible in the face of statist efforts to restrict it from both the right and the left. If I had to sum up my beliefs as concisely as possible, I would say, "Stay out of my wallet and my bedroom," "your liberty stops at my nose," and "don't tread on me." I will believe that things are taking a turn for the better in America when married gays are able to, and do, maintain large arsenals of automatic weapons, and tax collectors are, and do, not.
