It explains the “necessity of evil” better than I’ve ever seen it explained (though obviously many have attempted to answer the question of “why does evil exist”-to varying degrees of satisfaction)
How do you grapple with that one?
Free will explains it all really.
There is no "necessity of evil".
And you don’t think that link tells an incredibly interesting “story” (or “explanation”) behind the existence of free will? You just pushed my question back slightly - why is free will a necessity in your world view? It isn’t really supported by the materialist-reductionist-Scientism world view, so you must have found some “story” you like as the explanation, am I right?
I didn't say free will was a necessity either.
So the existence of free-will explains the existence of evil...but free-will doesn’t... necessarily.... exist? Do I have that right? And that philosophy illuminates your understanding of existence how?
Not at all.
And I don't believe in the "materialist-reductionist-Scientism world view" either. Geez, quite a mouthful.
So wait, you’re rejecting this (the OP) understanding of the world, in favor of what, exactly?
And if it isn’t clear, I’m not posting this to suggest that all of it is literally true and it’s the explanation behind anything - it could be total non-sense - BUT - it’s probably the best explanation I’ve come across for many of these essential, and incredibly difficult, questions relating to our existence both physical and spiritual.
I guess part of the reason I posted it, is to see if anyone has come up with anything better?
