| Summary: | The essay examines the inconsistence problem of the existence a perfect God and
evil in the world. It contains criticism of the traditional view that the concept of God
as a morally perfect entity is paradoxical. Essay is demonstrated that such views are
based on an extreme form of utilitarianism. It is argued that the idea of God and
evil coexisting in the world is not inconsistent if we accept the deontological view
in ethics that the general obligation to eliminate suffering wherever it occurs cannot
be one’s moral duty.
It is proved that the idea of the coexistence of God and evil in the world does not
contain a contradiction if we accept the deontological point of view in ethics that
the obligation to eliminate suffering wherever it occurs cannot be anyone’s moral
duty. |
