If he's perfectly good, omnipotent and omnipowerful, then with logic Evil should not exist and yet it clearly does. This debate forms the foundation of many arguments, debates and discussions around this very topic.]]> 2017-11-20 19:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ksgrotew/phil200/wish/208876986 The Afterlife: Do we need immortality? Grace M. Jantzen https://padlet.com/ksgrotew/phil200/wish/208877144 Some people believe that an eternal afterlife is required in any religion in order to make it a logical belief system. Without the prospect of something beyond our lifetime, either favorable or not, logically believing in a religion seems impossible.  ]]> 2017-11-20 19:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ksgrotew/phil200/wish/208877144 The Afterlife: Two Christian Concepts of heaven and Resurrection https://padlet.com/ksgrotew/phil200/wish/208881770

Many organized religions address this problem by offering reasoning for the existence of evil in our world. Our group will discuss different viewpoints and analyze the problem.

If God does exist then God cannot be all powerful, all knowing, and all good. Two of the three may be true but one has to be false. This theory is known as refuting the omni-nature of God. ]]> 2017-11-20 20:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ksgrotew/phil200/wish/208882230 https://padlet.com/ksgrotew/phil200/wish/208882323 2017-11-20 20:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ksgrotew/phil200/wish/208882323 The Afterlife: The problem of Hell https://padlet.com/ksgrotew/phil200/wish/208882552 Marilyn McCord Adams
Statement I: God exists, and is essentially omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good.

Statement II: Evil Exists 

Statement III: Some created persons will be consigned to hell forever.

The problem formulated
1. If God existed and were omnipotent, he would be able to avoid III.
2. If God existed and were omniscient, He would know how to avoid III.
3. If God existed and were perfectly good, He would want to avoid III. 
4. Therefore, if 1, not III.
