Deep dives
The challenge of suffering and belief in God
In this podcast episode, the problem of evil is discussed in relation to the question of why God allows suffering. Christian philosopher Vince Vitale and atheist thinker Julian Baguini debate this issue. Vince argues that God may allow suffering in order to create beings like us and to shape our character, although he acknowledges that not all suffering can be explained in this way. Julian, as an atheist, explains that suffering is a challenge for belief in God, and that atheists find meaning in the world by creating it themselves.
