In my book Confronting Sexual Nihilism<\/a>, it is necessary to recognize the enormous amount of evil connected with sexuality; especially male sexuality. I do not use religious beliefs to support my arguments for the fundamental moral principle restricting male sexuality. However, I want my stance on sexual morality to be able to be enhanced by a Catholic Christian outlook. Hence, I would face the question of how there could be evil in the creation of an all-good, all-powerful and all-knowing God. I do not stop to consider the problem in the book because it would be a distraction from my secular argument and of most importance people who want to maintain a religious outlook should not try to solve the problem of evil.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider my argument for the above thesis<\/p>\n

1.If you think and feel religiously, then you recognize the enormous evil and disorder in the world, cannot understand why it occurs and feel seriously disturbed by its occurrence.<\/p>\n

2. If you develop an adequate theodicy, then you can understand why the enormous evil and disorder occurs.
\n(Theodicy is a name for a theory on why there is evil in God’s creation.)<\/p>\n

So (3) If you solve the problem of evil, then you cease to think and feel religiously.<\/p>\n

The mysterious of evil is a necessary condition for religious thinking and feeling. Trying to remove the mysteriousness of evil is try to secularize oneself.<\/p>\n
