摘要

我认为,哪怕只有一个人的创造和自由选择的救赎和永恒的幸福,也比任何有限数量的邪恶和苦难更伟大。既然在所有可能存在的个体中,极有可能(如果不是肯定的话)有一些人(或至少有一个人)只有通过思考和经历邪恶与苦难才能自由地获得救赎,那么上帝就有理由创造一个充满邪恶与苦难的世界,让这些人获得救赎,只要没有其他人自由地失去他们的救赎,否则他们就不会因为邪恶与苦难而失去救赎。这样,邪恶的问题就不复存在了,因为在有神论看来,一个充满邪恶和苦难的世界,甚至是看似无偿的邪恶和苦难,都是完全意料之中的。

Defeating the Problem of Evil with Evil
I argue that the creation and freely chosen salvation and everlasting bliss of even just one person is a greater good than any finite amount of evil and suffering. Since it is extremely likely (if not certain) that, out of all possible individuals that could exist, some (or at least one) would only be freely saved through the contemplation and experience of evil and suffering, then God would be justified in creating a world with evil and suffering to allow for the salvation of such individuals, so long as no one else freely lost their salvation who otherwise would not have lost it because of the evil and suffering. Thus, the problem of evil dissipates, as a world with evil and suffering, even seemingly gratuitous evil and suffering, would be entirely expected given theism.
