Suffering has to stop.
Suffering is a consequence of evil — rebellion against the God who is life and goodness. I believe that evil and suffering will end when there is a mature, universal knowledge of good and evil. Only then will we choose only good, because we’ll clearly see how good good is. We’ll never choose evil again, because we’ll clearly see how evil evil is. No more fuel will be poured on the fire of suffering, and it will go out.
How can we get to a mature, universal knowledge of good and evil? By exposing them. By uncovering all of the evidence and holding it up for all to see.
Almost everyone agrees that suffering has to stop (the fact that not everyone agrees is part of the problem). Areas of disagreement include these questions:
- Which things are good, and which things are evil?
- Who determines what is good and what is evil?
- What are the sources of good and evil?
Only God is good; He alone is goodness itself. If we are to have a mature knowledge of good, we must know the truth about God.
Why does a loving God allow evil and suffering?
