We had a good discussion in my apologetics course last night. We've spent the better part of the week discussing the problem of pain. After all, the atheist says, how can a good God and evil coexist? Wouldn't the world be better without pain?
My professor posed this scenario for us to ask the atheist:
Suppose you had a child, but every time that child did something wrong you rewarded him with more. Yes, you were disobedient, so I'm going to raise your allowance. You did something wrong, so I'm going to give you more freedom and less responsibility. What kind of person would you end up with?
Someone shouted, "A Kennedy!"
I'm still chuckling about that as I write this.
