      Oh of course, the list of horrors is endless. Philosophers desperate to maintain the existence of a benevolent deity have wrestled for two thousand years to solve the problem of evil, and none of them ever came any closer than shrugging and presuming that there must be an unsurmountable flaw in our understanding of the universe that blinds us to his plan. A flaw in us, his allegedly perfect creation. Whoops, there’s that nagging contradiction again.
