SMBC has tackled the problem of evil. What do you make of its response?
I have this discussion (about the problem of evil – not about fetishes) in my First Year Seminar class regularly. Does anyone actually want to live in a universe in which you get a cookie every time you do something good, and as a result, people do good not because it is good and self-sacrificially, but because of cookies? This isn’t a “solution” to the problem of evil which makes it go away. But it does suggest that it is far harder to make an “ideal” universe than most people who talk about the problem of evil suggest.
