Friday 3.12.10

Today, Sexson asked us to look up the meaning of 'theodicy'. Here's what I found:
Theodicy is an answer to the problem of evil. Specifically, Theodicy is a specific branch of theology and philosophy which attempts to reconcile belief in God with the perceived existence of evil. As such, theodicy can be said to attempt to justify the behaviour of God (at least insofar as God allows evil).

In The Brother K, I believe it was Ivan that said "It's not that I don't accept God, I just don't accept the world he created."
This book has one of the biggest questionings of God in literary history.
