Description

July 22, 2018 The Problem of Evil is a philosophical discussion that traditionally is attributed to the Greek philosopher Epicurious.  While it predates the monotheistic religions that dominate many cultures today, it is still a relevant logical argument when talking to theists today. In this episode August discusses his pamphlet on the subject, which you can obtain by sending an email to info@mnatheists.org or by emailing Atheists Talk at radio@mnatheists.org Some suggested resources for further reading on the subject of The Problem of Evil: “The Problem of Evil” pamphlet – August Berkshire  The Logical Problem of Evil – https://www.iep.utm.edu/evil-log Wikipedia: Problem of Evil – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_evil God, Freedom, and Evil – Alvin Plantinga God’s Problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question – Why We Suffer – Bart D.

Minnesota Atheists is Minnesota's oldest and largest atheist organization. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, educational organization that seeks to promote the positive contributions of atheism to society and to maintain separation of state and church. Our bylaws are available here. Each year we hold eight monthly members meetings with guest speakers (Jan.-May, Sept.-Nov.), three picnics (June-Aug.), and a Winter Solstice banquet (Dec.). We have a full calendar of events, such as dinners, movie nights, game nights, discussion groups, book clubs, a how to debate class and many others. To find out about these events, sign up for A.W.E. - Atheists Weekly E-mail. We produce a public access cable TV program, "Atheists Talk," and a weekly podcast of the same name. We offer speakers to the community free of charge. We specialize in presentations to high school and community college comparative religion classes.
