Problem of Evil

by Ong Chin Kai

If we are free, and God is omnipotent, omniscient, omni-benevolent, then perhaps:

The world is bittersweet.

Like fine chocolate and coffee.

And for the whole of our lives we partake only of the bittersweet.

We imagine- How great would it be if coffee tasted purely sweet.

We then abhor the bitter, and blame our coffee Brewer or chocolate Chef for it.
