Voices of Reason – Stephen Law: The Evil God Challenge

Starts
Monday, March 5th 2012 at 7:00 pm
Ends
Monday, March 5th 2012 at 9:00 pm
Location
Busboys and Poets 14th & V – Langston Room, 2021 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20009 (U St / Cardozo Metro)

The Evil God Challenge is perhaps the most powerful argument against the existence of the Judeo-Christian God yet developed. Stephen Law will present a version that he published in the journal Religious Studies in 2010, and has since developed further. If you want a single, simple, devastating challenge to present to theists, one for which they probably won’t have a prepared answer, the Evil God Challenge is a leading contender. It’s a version of the old problems of evil – but with a novel and entertaining twist!
