I didn't have the words for it until I was much older, but at least as early as 9 years old, it bothered me immensely that "problems of theodicy" seemed to distress people so much more than the concept of heaven

one of my terminal...not values, exactly, but terminal beliefs? seems to be that evil basically makes sense
benevolent god and evil seem perfectly compatible with one another and I've never been able to figure out why people treat this like a problem

that's a good question
I think the things that people *label* as evil...don't warrant being put in a different box? they're "natural disasters" or "tragedies of the soul," and the whole thing makes me want to scream "bad ontology! incorrect!"

so when you say evil makes sense, you're saying that... natural disasters or tragedies make sense?
