/lit/ - Literature

I didn't reply to an old problem of evil thread so I'll just say it here for the record: in my opinion Irenaean theodicy and Gnosticism are the only two solutions that I feel are somewhat convincing.

Maybe because they both share a similar theme when you think about it. That is that evil is a necessary ingredient for the current world as we know it because of some secret rule to reality that us little brains can't easily comprehend.
