Slave morality is an attitude which holds to the standard of that which is beneficial to the weak or powerless.

Concerning the Topic of Evil Voltaire: “It is the concern of physical evil that I would like to call attention to; it is in the macabre events such as plagues and earthquakes that call into question the weakness of our nature. If we regard this world, such as it is, the best of all possible systems, then how are we to hope for a happy future state? Are nations not in the wrong to seek out the origin of moral and physical evil if the evils that overwhelm man end in general good?” Leibniz: “If…

break down of evil can be used for all human beings, whether they have "religion" or not. I appreciate the simple definitions of "Manageable" evil and "unmanageable" evil, that makes sense to me. Manageable evil, as it is stated above, is something we have control over. We have control over our own actions and the choices we make to either commit the evil actor not. It is strictly our choice to make. Our free will. The opposite of manageable is unmanageable. Unmanageable evil is beyond our…

The rescue comes, of course, in the shape of naval officer at the end.…

The argument from evil argues and targets against a specific type of god which is argued to be all powerful, knowing, and good. The argument states that if such God were to exist, then we would not have evil in the world. Yet, all around us we see evil and therefore God cannot exist. The argument from evil is a reductio ad absurdum argument because we take on the fact that there is evil in the world and because of this, derive the conclusion that an all-pkg God cannot exist. An important thing…

Possible explanations about evil and suffering: • Only God knows the answer to this problem.  God has a plan for people's lives that they may not always understand.
