Obama And The Problem of Evil
I believe there is evil in the world, don’t you?
Watching how the media react to God talk and family values by politicians is like watching the spinning head in The Exorcist, depending on who's doing the God talk.
Consider the problem of evil, beginning with this statement from Barack Obama responding to Pastor Rick Warren's question at the "Saddleback Presidential Candidates Forum" in August 2008:
Evil does exist. I mean, I think we see evil all the time. That is God's task [to erase evil from the world], but we can be soldiers in that process, and we can confront it when we see it.
The media reaction? It was the yawn heard 'round the world.
