In this episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager explores the complex issue of reconciling God’s existence with the presence of evil and suffering in the world. He shares a powerful argument from Rabbi Milton Steinberg, highlighting that the believer in God must account for the existence of evil and suffering, while the atheist must account for the existence of everything else. Dennis also delves into the concept of unjust suffering, discussing the role of human evil and the natural world. He acknowledges the difficulty of this issue, but emphasizes the importance of intellectual honesty and the need to consider the possibility that there may be answers beyond human understanding.
