    Hi Mark

    POE tough alright

    maybe central question of human life

    possible 'answer' provided by christian tradition: there is no easy answer
    but the god above broke himself open down below, shares in most intimate way
    in pain/suffering.

    I must read Brothers Karamazov sometime

    As you were

    Hi Johnny,

    It's not death that is the problem. It's suffering. A benevolent,
    omnipotent, omniscient god could keep the laws of gravity in place, let the
    rock fall and the child die swiftly and painlessly. The POE occurs when the
    rock falls and crushes the child's legs and spine, so that she lies there in
    agony for hours till comes the wolf to finish her off.

    Trust me. It's the knock-out punch.

    Best,
    Mark Steven Heyman (msh)
