It's clear that we are the authors of Evil. We are the ones running
with pitchforks. Deity is no more than a cardboard cut-out, barely
paying attention if at all. Yet, so blatant are claims on behalf of
the gods in our time that one is compelled to wonder how
civilization came to be in such a mess. Of course humanity shares
the blame, perhaps most of it, but given the deity's reputation for
miraculous cures, it is surprising, no, astonishing, that human
suffering is still an issue twenty-six centuries after Job made his
complaint. The author remembers the last century as a time of
stupendous brutality and cruelty, from which humanity has yet to
recover. The truth is, he fears, that either we do not know the
gods well enough to banish them, or that banishment could not come
too soon. We would do well to remember Socrates and how to apply
reason in our lives.
