Summary

This quote explores the philosophical conundrum known as the Problem of Evil. It suggests that if an all-powerful deity created a world with inherent evil, excluding human sin, it implies that the deity must possess some degree of evil itself. It questions the nature of an omnipotent being's goodness and wrestles with the inherent contradiction between the presence of evil and the concept of an all-powerful and benevolent creator. This quote underscores the complexity and age-old debate surrounding the existence of evil in a world supposedly governed by a higher power.

When our governments want to sell us a course of action, they do it by making sure it's the only thing on the agenda, the only thing everyone's talking about.
